From what I've seen since I've been working as RSO, I would estimate that 90% of the people carrying are horribly irresponsible. How can I know they are irresponsible you might ask? See pics.. Typical 5 yard target and typical method of carry I see. When I see holsters that don’t allow one-handed re-holster, carry without a holster, clip on holster with no belt, completely missing a 23X35 target at 5 yards, I know these people don’t train. Prior to arming yourself in public you should ask yourself 3 questions AND seriously consider what the answers might be.
If the situation dictates do I have the mindset to use lethal force?
Do I have the ability to defend myself or someone else with lethal force? ( Hit what I’m aiming at under pressure)
AND, I think the most important question. Am I somewhat confident that I know WHEN I am justified in using lethal force according to State law?
BBIs will tell you that there are no hard fast answers for any of the questions but my point is that you should consider all three because without training from competent trainers you probably won't find the answers on your own or on You Tube.
I doubt most people that carry have a good answer for any of the questions. If you don’t have some idea of what the answers might be wouldn’t it be prudent to at least ponder the questions or leave your pistol at home?
