The Quick & The Dead. I'm amazed by the number of gun owners who don't run dry fire drills. And those who ask, "what's that?" Short answer, difference between being quick and dead.

Once the convo starts rolling, I'm often asked, "how good are you?"
- not as proficient as I could be. If I had to go with the average lunatic or common criminal, I might have a fighting chance. Squaring off against a combat vet, or seasoned Chicago banger, I might be fucked.

One thing that piques their interest, once I've determined they own a glock or HK, telling them to consider buying an airsoft pistol, making a game of it.
Something I can thank my sons and @WarriorPoetSoc1 for.

I also do my best to turn people on to @WarriorPoetSoc1 @blkgunsmattr @Black_Scout and always engage at the store, ask questions, see if they, or a reputable colleague offer tactical training.

I'm by no means an expert. I certainly don't know shit compared to several people I know- but I am smart enough to listen to those people, ask questions and learn.

I'm fortunate in that I have combat vets among my family, circle of friends and cats I follow on twitter.
Also, I've seen Red Dawn, and every Clint Eastwood movie thousands of times.
That's gotta count for something, right?

If your starting out & you're at that awkward stage we've all been there. If you've been working hard to improve, great.
If you're reading this, chances are you're following @MAJTOURE @LibertasInstruc @Boojahideen or at least 30 other people who'll gladly answer your questions.

Just remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. Unless of course you're an American and that question is,
"Who's Clint Eastwood?"
JK.
The only dumb question is the one we fail to ask.
