Fundamentals:
”Five Musts” For
Firearm Self-Defense
1. Safety—Live By It:
“Having a gun in your hands is a
tremendous responsibility.
Recognize and accept that
responsibility in each moment.”
2. Learn To Shoot:
Get the best training you can
afford: “Contrary to what we see
on TV, shooting is neither easy
nor is it intuitive. Learning
proper techniques, especially
for self-defense, is critical.
Start with fundamentals. Then
learn to shoot for your specific
real-world applications.”
3. Know Your Weapon:
“Train with your firearm. Beyond
shooting, you’ll need to know
how to handle gun jams and
malfunctions and other issues
that could rear their ugly heads
at critical moments.” See
Rule #5.
4. Keep Your Firearm In Good
Working Order:
"Make sure that your firearm is
clean, and that all systems work
properly. Have a gunsmith do a
complete check every one or two
years. Replace your ammunition
every few months.”
5. Understand that all
mechanical things can break.
Take the time and learn about
W.E. Fairbairn. His teaching has
been proven in war and has
lasted the tests of time.
Shooting is not a cheap
activity,
but then your life has a
very high value to you and your
loved ones. If you are lucky,
you live in a state that allows
law-abiding citizens to carry a
concealed firearm.
