Guns guns guns

Posted about 1 year ago

I have always had an interest in combat. Since I was a kid I have always loved weapons, like guns and knives. Now don’t mistake me for some unstable psycho. Anyone that has known me for only a short time will tell you I’m a genuine citizen. I do however believe in my rights to defend myself. So getting to the point here I have for some time wanted to own a pistol and obtain a conceal carry certification. So now that things are coming together for me, I am acting on that goal.

This is the gun I think I want, but I need to find a local dealer where I can hold the gun and see if I like the fit.

I have tremendous respect for the power and danger of weapons, especially firearms. Though I have shot rifles and a small assortment of firearms, I realize I am still unskilled in the practice. However, I still exercise as much caution as my knowledge grants me when using firearms.

I took a lesson this morning at a local indoor gun range and I learned many tactical techniques as well as tremendous safety measures. After all, if you really think it through, it does not matter how well you can fire a gun if you do not know how to safely operate the weapon.

To sum this all up I love what I currently do for a living (programming and network administration). However, my heart has always been in public services, to be specific jobs like a firefighter, police officer or my ultimate military, S.W.A.T or any type of special forces. Where I am going with this is, I figure obtaining skill in operating weapons is certainly a good start if I were to ever pursue my aspirations of these careers. Above all else, I want to feel comfortable that I can at least hold my own in life or death situations.

The plan at this time is to spend some time putting rounds down and hone my skills, buy a nice gun and obtain my Conceal Carry certification. Whether or not I ever pursue a relative career path, I want to be able to perform in combat situations efficiently. At least I already have a strong background in hand to hand combat.

Updates to be posted at a later time. I have plenty of work to put in at the gym tomorrow so I ought to make my way to bed now.
