Have a New Jersey PTC? You’re a target now.
If you have a PTC or are planning to get one, this article is for you. The 2nd Amendment is YOUR right and it’s incredibly important to exercise it intelligently and responsibly for myriad reasons.
In life, you’ve probably heard the phrase “your decisions matter” close to one million times. Well…. you’re about to hear it again. When choosing a handgun, especially when considering one for carry, your decisions matter! Read the wise words of Gun for Hire Chief Instructor and founder of Threat Reflex, Vlad Vaval.
Important for both new and experienced shooters alike, it is of paramount importance to keep safe firearms handing at the top of our mind at all times. Vlad Vaval gives us a fantastic lesson. For some of us, it’s a much needed refresher course. For others, it might be the first time hearing these core, immutable rules of gun safety. Even if you know these rules, read them again. We should never become complacent about the safe handling of firearms.
Most of us have done our best to imagine what we’d do in a real defensive situation. But our imagination tends to be limited to one or two scenarios, not the plausible, possible, or possible. ScotShot Scott really makes us think about reality in this training article.
What is “trigger press” and how do we achieve consistency?
