Do you need extreme pistol skills?

As a Marine infrantryman, we used to shoot and train a lot.  The main purpose of training, paper punching and tactical training/practice is to get a person to a point to where when the SHTF you automatically do what you need to do without having to think about it.  As a federal officer we did the same.  What I learned in the infantry helped a lot while in government service.  When I competed in PPC, that added to my knowledge.

Cooptire,

Do some research regarding prominent self-defense lawyers in your area.  Pony up the money to buy an hour of his time.  Go over your State/Local CCW laws and establish a contact procedure with the local police and the lawyer in the event you ever have to use your weapon.

Knowing what will happen after the fight will give you great peace of mind during the fight.

Sounds like great advice to me! Thanks. I will in fact do that very thing.
