I really wanted to take a precision rifle class this weekend. Then I got to thinking, as fun as it would have been, when am I ever going to need to call upon those skills as a necessity? I carry a pistol or two and can see me using a pistol, edged weapon or my paws in dee-fense (and a shotgun at home), but precision rifle seems to me (civilian, suburban, computer guy, carries a gun, has a shotgun in the closet) to be more of a niche skill.
I also want to take a karambit class with Steve Tarani next week. But I'm not sure if I really want to carry a karambit--I don't know if it's just another edged weapon, or if it's yet another weapon system I'm going to have to dedicate time to--right now I dedicate myself to pistol, a little edged weapons, a little hand to hand and a little shotgun, banjo, photography, church stuff, computer geek certifications, trying to do a little reading, etc. Of course, I could carry a karambit and leave a precision rifle around the house to wait for a problem for a solution, but I already have a folding knife and a carbine.
Have you ever caught yourself taking classes and buying stuff for the 'gee whiz' factor? On one hand, maybe a karambit class and precision rifle class will give me insight to things I've never thought about with your average edged weapon or carbine, or I could take the ~$600 ($150 training knife, $200 knife and $250 class) and do more shotgun and some advanced handgun classes.
Your thoughts?
