Going to the range "once or twice a month" is not practice. If you are going to own a firearm, you will need to practice at least twice a week for 15 minutes a day, doing dry fire. If not more frequently. You are not informed in this matter, and are continuing to give bad advice.
Okay, please share your gun-fighting experience or special training drills that we should all be getting in on. Literally the only point my comments above were making is that having a weapon at all is still preferable to being unarmed in a situation where people specifically want to kill you with guns. How does anything you have said negate that basic idea?
I feel like you aren't reading what you're replying to (given you mistook another person for me) and just want to be snippy and condescend about how much more knowledgeable about guns you are, when nothing you've said has even contradicted my initial point, just continually re-stated the importance of training and weapon proficiency, which I literally granted in the first fucking comment you took issue with.
EDIT: Think of it this way: in what scenario would you rather fend off an armed attacker bare-handed, than try a gun you knew how to use, but hadn't used frequently?
I have already acknowledged that training confers an important advantage, in both the comment you are replying to, and in another clarifying comment below. The claim that my initial comment is disagreeing with is the notion that having a gun without thorough training is "useless", which I believe to be false.
You're right to assume I'm not used to firing a gun under stress, or at least none comparable to being in a gunfight, but my fundamental point -- that being armed is always better than being unarmed -- is true. Again, I am not attempting to discourage people from training themselves to proficiently use their weapon, nor have I at any point in this thread or elsewhere, I am saying they should not feel like they shouldn't arm themselves if they can't engage in extensive and frequent training.
:downbear:
You have obviously never shot a gun under time pressure or stress. Owning a firearm is not enough. Proficiency is a must.
