"Get Training" | Shooting Wire:
(Rich Grassi: December 09, 2016)
We continue to face a huge number of new gun owners and new shooters – something that had its beginning in 1986 with the advent of 'shall-issue' concealed carry permits, continued through the years of the Clinton gun ban from 1994 until its sunset, and really ramped up in the age of internet forums, internet video and the Global War on Terror. Something that continued the drive to more private gun ownership was self-identification of the Democrat Party as the "Party of Infringement" (h/t, Stephen Wenger) and a federal government that continued to be threatening as certain individual states rushed to get state-level infringements of their own passed.
Still, to the new gun owners and new shooters, we've all been saying "Get Training!"
Grassi points out that there are so many new shooters, there are not enough experienced/qualified instructors to provide the training which they need. And again, even people who have some experience shooting pistols are usually not experienced in drawing from the holster.
Which is a special skill ... and that is not intuitively obvious!
