As the weather has warmed, I’ve started noticing more people out running and walking for exercise. While staying in shape is a good way to ensure a long healthy life, I can’t help but notice how many are committing, at least to my way of thinking, a major awareness sin.

Many elements of self-defense can be imitated in training. Certain scenarios, like low-light situations, can be realistically created to test skills and raise the stakes exponentially. However, it’s difficult to implement one of the biggest factors of self-defense: pressure.

Most handguns shooters spend countless hours trying to get the smallest possible group in the 10-ring on a target. Many of us are practically obsessed with accuracy, but accuracy and self-defense accuracy are quite different.

Like most guys, I love a good shoot’um up movie, but I’m always irritated when the protagonist dives behind a couch, or some other flimsy object, right before the bad guy sprays the object with bullets.

Regardless of the amount of time spent or number of rounds fired in training, many gun owners are unprepared for a deadly force encounter—mentally unprepared. The idea of defending one’s life or home seems very simple, but if you haven’t thought it through completely, you might hesitate at a time that could get you seriously hurt or worse.

While it’s important to stay on your feet in a fight, a lot of things can go wrong when you’re attacked, such as being knocked to the ground. If this happened could you defend yourself? If you haven’t practiced drawing and shooting from the ground, it’s highly unlikely.

I personally believe in carrying a concealed handgun at all times; however, there are times when I can’t for either legal or calculated reasons. There are also people who, for whatever reason, desire a means of protection that isn’t a gun.
