"I carry wherever it is legal. I am trained and competent in gun handling. I know enough about the laws in my jurisdiction to avoid willfully threatening or using deadly force unlawfully."
Great! But that's not all I need, by a long shot.
When I head out on an errand, I am not going to a defensive training class, and I am not expecting to draw my firearm. My attention will be focussed on other things. A threat may materialize, but I will surely not expect it. It will not be instantly recognizable by its target frame and the berm behind it. I will not have been prepared for the situation by a class instructor. And if I fail to recognize it timely and react instantly and appropriately, nothing else will matter.
I've been thinking about this for a long time, and today I learned of a training class that address just those issues. I have watched the trailer, and I have ordered the material.
It is what I have been waiting for.
