Subject: Some quick Gun advice:
Get a pistol with out a safety. When you get really scared, you probably won't remember where the safety is!
I have trained a number of people with the Beretta 92F, a replica of the US Military 9mm pistol. The weapon has a decocking lever located on the slide. When I observe someone getting confidient or even cocky with their shooting, I'll hand them the weapon with the decocking lever pointed down, which disables the gun. Person by person, time and time again, I observe the shooter pulling the trigger multiple times then saying, "The gun doesn't work." Conversly, when I trained people on the Glock 19, a shortened 9mm without such a safety device, the gun always goes bang...Nuff said on that, do the math for yourself!
I like the glock 19 in 9mm and the glock 30 in .45. The glock 19 will also accept a 32 round glock 18 magazine for hanging in there for extended shoots.
When learning to shoot don't use a paper bullseye. Use the picture of a human. Train yourself to see a person and respond to that. Shoot at 7-10 feet for a thousand or so rounds. Get a cydex or paddle holster for beltline wear and a uncle mikes drop leg for running with your weapon secured on your leg which is the best setup, however tends to freak out walmart people. mount a holster in your car. place the holster right under the steering wheel. If you ever get stopped or jacked by criminal elements it is natural for one to drop their hands off the steering wheel to surrender or get out. The difference, of course, is we are now armed.
Here's the strange part. you will need to go to a farm or forest and practice pulling the weapon and firing it from inside your car. bring hearing protection and do it slowly at first or you will likely perforate your door. Just don't let the first time a guatamalan gang member is jacking your truck be the first time you shoot your weapon.
On shooting, none of this stuff I discuss takes into any law what so ever. Let a jury of your peers if there is such a thing figure all the legal stuff out. When you draw you initiate a sequence. Be prepared to be shocked. What guns do to bodies is horrible, but try to just get past that. Following you shooting there will be a small amount of time where confusion sets in, mostly for your attackers while they wonder what just happened. Use that time to dity mau (leave, get out of dodge, make tracks, get gone) if there are attackers in the front of your vehicle, run over them. Those left standing will be less willing to persue you.
OK, that's enough for now, think about this stuff. Be good, do something good in Jesus's name for your neighbor or for some someone else and do it in secret!
Addios!
