Well....
I'd recommend getting out of that city, however, you do what you think is best.
If you are serious about learning how to use firearms, research some NRA basic handgun courses, and if you can't find them in that hol....er....city, then look outside the city. Pennsylvania is not...
Static accuracy & speed work at the range.
Weekly or bi-weekly USPSA/IDPA matches. (been slacking due to budget issues)
Daily dry fire rehearsal from concealment to retention/extension prior to leaving the house.
Yup.
The signs are pretty much all there.
Race, gender, clothing, location, behavior in the form of non-verbal cues, expressions, and actions. It's all there, and far more often than not, hostile intent is telegraphed long before it takes place.
By not playing in the first place...
Well....regardless of how we all feel about "licensing" and the process, I am glad more citizens have the option to legally carry some of the tools they may need to defend themselves and their loved ones.
I have no sympathy for those that prey on the elderly or children.
None.
May not be right, but there it is.
Regardless, this is another example of why it is so important to know your state law. Nothing chaps my hide more than seeing citizens trying to do the right thing get caught up...
I'm with Sam...
Don't be afraid of grouping though. The fundamentals you develop during slow aimed fire set the foundation for shooting fast and accurate.
Every time I shoot, I start out with dry fire, then do some grouping back to 25M, even if it's just 5 rounds per range. I find it...
Pistol range stops as soon as I can reach a rifle.
:D
Seriously though...
Based on my experience shooting and watching shooters over the years, IMO, if you've got 7M on the shooter and you can move FAST, then you've got a pretty good chance of not getting shot. Your odds decrease the...
Most of the clubs I shoot at stage the star with the plates at the 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 o'clock positions like the picture below (though this gent doesn't quite have it there yet).
Staged in this manner, when you pick a side and start high, the plates will rise, and depending on the star...
The visual feedback provided by a laser can certainly prove to be useful for a wide variety of supplemental training tasks.
The visual feedback provided by dryfire comes from the sight picture you see when you break the shot, IF you are disciplined enough to look for it. Sloppy dry fire...
While having the right mind and skill set helps, there are no guarantees due to the infinite amount of variables that can rear their ugly heads.
As a leader and trainer, I would be ecstatic to have an "exhibition shooter" join my team, as well as ANY competition shooter, or hunter, or any...
This isn't the case in U.S.P.S.A..
U.S.P.S.A. uses a wide variety of "classifier" stages to gauge shooter performance. These stages are set up and shot the same way by each shooter, and each shooters score is recorded and sent to HQ. The better and more consistently you shoot, the higher...
Absolutely.
Motivation, hard work and effort can get you pretty far, but in the end, genetics always has a say. Given the same level of commitment and training, genetics will pretty much always come out on top.
I've shot trap and skeet, and there was nothing "instinctive" about it. My performance didn't improve until I learned how to AIM the shotgun properly. The aiming technique differs from slow aimed fire in that the aiming reference (barrel bead, or barrel rib on the shotgun) is used in an...
Ditto.
I would HIGHLY recommend you find a local U.S.P.S.A. club and go run a match, or at least watch a match. The speed and accuracy you will see doesn't come from NOT using the sights.

2011 single stack...
You pretty much answered your own question...
Yes.
Why?
Simple.
And...
Go with what you know, and what works for YOU, which, is apparently the Glock.
EVERY piece of kit has its own unique "personality". A certain amount of slack in the trigger, a certain feel to the...
Me neither.
I'd at least plan a gun friendly route and look into storage before crossing into no mans land. Self storage facility, safe deposit box, local gun clubs, something...
