Self-Defense Tip: Practice Walking Around With Your Long Gun

Robert Farago - comments No comments

One of the many downsides of living in a blue (a.k.a., slave) state: most gun ranges don’t let you move and shoot. Sorry to sound like a broken gramaphone record, but if you’re not practicing moving and shooting you stand a greater chance of standing and dying in a violent attack. Yeah it’s that important. It’s no less important when using a long gun for self-defense. And there’s more to it than just moving and shooting; there’s moving to or away from what you might or might not be shooting. In other words, you need to learn to keep calm and carry on [click here for gratuitous link to thechive.com], dynamically. The video above offers carry styles. For those of us without access to open space and freedom, close the curtains and practice walking around your house or apartment with your long gun. So totally worth it.

  1. Five undeveloped acres in the sticks, surrounded by undeveloped acres.

    Trees, rather than fields.

    Gods and Thunders, I love Kansas…

  2. I really like this series of GSR vids. They have her doing a series on the defensive single action sixgun too. Who knows….if the Big O gets his way maybe they won’t just be for bears anymore!

  3. From their website they are giving away 20gauge single shot break overs.
    On the theory that they’re not going to be appealing to steal. (I agree) and
    “this weapon is sufficient to cast a large spread that is capable significant damage, while reducing the potential of innocent bystander damage, due to the fact that the shot will not likely travel through walls or over longer distances without losing great amounts of energy. I can simply point 15 feet down my hallway, while aimed in the general direction of the intruder, and fire a shot that may take care of the problem.”

    which is obviously problematic

    I love that the organizer knows how to handle himself in interviews, that they train safety, law and tactics, that they give out locks and that they chose 20gauge, but I think they should cut the barrels to 18 inches so that they’re easier to handle.

    I think the bottom line is that they are ramping up and trying to get attention to get donations so that they can afford to arm a neighborhood and see if it drives down crime.

  4. That picture is worth a thousand words, my friends. Have you ever looked someone in the eyes and all you see is a brain-dead person inside? That is Jules Witcover, respect is earned.
