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. And even though the object would have never stopped a bullet—much less multiple bullets—the hero jumps up unharmed and drops the bad guy with a well-placed shot.

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.

In the comments section of my last blog, I was asked if I had to carry concealed when hunting. Well, the answer is no. In a lot of states, you can carry open when hunting, and in Virginia, where I currently live, open carry is completely legal.

Over the weekend, I was pheasant hunting with a buddy down at Rose Hill Game Preserve. As always, I was carrying my Kimber in my Milt Sparks VersaMax II. The morning started cool, but as it warmed up, I had to remove a layer and ended up only covering with my upland game vest.

One of the most difficult drills simulates clearing a stoppage with a single hand because the other hand has received an injury during a fight. However, the concept is still the same regardless of the type of stoppage; you still have to rack the slide while maintaining control over the handgun.
