I have been a member of any number of different gun forums over the past 15 years or so but I just recently signed up and began participating here. I find that most members I have interacted with here seem more realistic than those I have found at many other forums. And so I would like to pose a question about training which I would not expect realistic answers to in most other forums.
With respect to firearms retention – besides, or in addition to, learning and practicing retention techniques - do you have an exercise routine to maintain fitness enough to physically confront somebody who might attempt to grab your firearm? While I doubt that the largest majority of gun owners could be expected to physically overcome a trained fighter in his prime I do believe we should all be as ready as possible to confront a realistic opponent – and win. One of the basics that would be necessary – fitness, defined as strength and stamina – is at least as important as technique.
My question : what do you do to maintain fitness to a level that you would have the strength and stamina to retain your firearm should somebody attempt to take it from you?
