Here’s my attempt to follow directions :
- Who are you? A guy from the north who’s been living in the south for about 15 years, and I’m loving the hot and humid weather.
- What got you interested in carrying and self-defense? A friend suggested that I might like it. I shot a few of his, took the CCL course in 2012 and it has been up or down hill since then, depending on how you look at it!
- How long have you been training for your self-defense? On and off for a few years, but USCCA site has offered the best training I’ve found so far. I’m still trying to find a place local to me to take some more advanced in person training.
- What formal training have you had? CCL course, a LOT of range time, some in person courses, and the Internet. More to come.
- What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten regarding your self-defense? Don’t be the person who escalates, only respond to what you are presented with.
- What’s your favorite gun? Funny question…does anyone have just one? I could shoot the CX4 all day,
- How often do you train? I get to the range at least once a month for about 2 hours.
- How have you gotten your friends and family involved? Introduce them at home so that they can hold different types without an audience and talk openly about their questions and thoughts, all before taking them to the range.
- What do you hope to learn from others in the USCCA Community? Variety is the spice of life, no? I look forward to hearing others thoughts and opinions all related topics.
