I firmly believe there will be more people tactically trained in legal firearms within 10 years or less than in any martial art...
Agree 100%.
I live in a very low crime , nice area, but a few years ago I purchased an AR-15 .
It's legal, and bought from a licensed dealer at a sporting goods store . I keep it under my dresser with a loaded clip beside it.
Never had any reason to use it, yet, except for some fun target practice every now and then.
My wife has a concealed carry license and went thru the course years ago with the local sheriff's dept.
Her .38 pistol is with her /us if we travel to downtown ATL.
Like me , she's never had to use it.
Every cop I've worked out with or known , tells us the same thing.
Even 911 has a response time before the cops arrive.
They advise everyone ( especially females) should be armed and go thru a law enforcement taught course on using your gun.
