You should train how to use a gun
Absolutely. I've been shooting periodically since I was a teenager but I could use a refresher.
Gold standard:
Be able to draw from concealment and hit a 6” steel circle at 10 yards in under 1.5 seconds. Every time, 10 draws in a row.
Ensure you can perform an elpresidente stage run in 6.5 seconds with all hits in the alpha scoring zone.
You can perform a fast drill in under 7 seconds, 3 times in a row back to back.
Your splits at 7 yards are under 2 tenths.
Your draw, shoot, reload, shoot on a 7 yard 6” steel plate is under 2.5 seconds. 10 times in a row.
Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they can’t get it wrong.
You always fall in the moment to the level of your training, so absolutely train if you decide to arm yourself. Otherwise you have given someone in power the ability to take lethal force from you and use it against you, or worse, you have misapplied it and harmed someone you did not intend to.
Ty. Saving this advice for sooner rather than later.
