A large part of self-defense is simple surviving. Sure, you want to be able to overcome all situations, but walking away unharmed will do for most of us, which is why we spend so much time training and learning.

The ideal solution to a bad situation is to be aware and get out of the area. The next best is to be aware and face the situation on both feet, with your gun in your hand. But even the best laid plans can fall to the wayside during a life and death struggle.

While I doubt many fathers would be unwilling to make this sacrifice, I can’t help but think that if this man would have had a gun and some training, he could have prevailed over the aggressors. It’s obvious that this Miami father had the courage, he fought with two armed assailants, but he didn’t have the tools.

The reason that experts are constantly training is that repetition builds fundamentals, and fundamentals are the foundation of good marksmanship.

There are many ways to conceal a handgun. Most of the best ways involve the handgun remaining on the person, but sometimes that is unfeasible for a variety of reasons. Women often carry in purses or bags, while some men also prefer to carry off their bodies in briefcases, day books, bags or even jackets.

I’m always concerned that people have to be reminded to follow basic firearm safety rules. It seems like it should be common sense, especially rule 1: Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
