Self-Defense Tip: Have A Destination in Mind

Robert Farago - comments No comments

When it comes to staying alive during a defensive gun use, you must master two basic manuevers: moving and shooting. There are a number of situation specific variations on the theme. Shoot and move. Move and shoot. Shoot then move. Move then shoot. I think that just about covers it. Of course, it helps to have an idea of where you’re going, so you can know which way to move: forwards, backwards or down to the ground. Simunition training is ideal for armed self-defenders who want to learn how to shoot while locating and/or using cover during an adrenalin dump. Meanwhile and in any case, whenever you enter a new environment—whether it’s Whataburger or Raven Aultman‘s favorite gym—look for some place to go if something goes wrong. That way, if you suddenly need to get going while the going’s good you’ll know a good place to go.

  1. do not understand how this, now using a required metal upper, doesn’t even comes close to what the initial complaint would be over a “entirely plastic” gun (which the defender wasn’t anyway). They can only have a problem if they have the same complaint as the had with DD’s distribution.

    Thing is if they are a non-profit, then it’s legal entirely… now was that really the motive or was it the intent to really to just get a ban on plastic components… poly AR lowers, as an example.

    This is a very interesting combination of designs. It exchanges some ergonomics for durability. It’s obvious compromise is now a stronger rear frame section for the bolt in a platform now using our current available components.
