We went to the range today for 3 hours to practice what we learned in class on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. I was amazed at the tactics and instructions I received. The theme of the class was "If you find yourself in a fair gun fight, your tactics suck." We covered everything from how to load a weapon to "don't drag them in the house if you shoot 'em on the porch."
I was instructed on how to kill, where to shoot, when to shoot, when to call 911, when to call your lawyer, what to say/not say to the 911 operator, how/when to talk to the police. The targets even had the places marked for effective self defense, first, second and third best places to disable (kill) the bad guy. Some of the things were brutal. I'm not sure I ever want to stand over a bad guy and watch his breathing to determine when to call 911.
We all know that one story in front of a judge is the best defense. Now that I am somewhat trained, I'm going to practice what I learned but I really hope I never have to use it. There is no doubt in my mind that I would defend myself if faced with the situation but I'm thinking that killing a human would be something I'd hate to live with, even if he deserved it.
My brother in law lives in Texas and had to take an extensive gun safety course before he could get his CCW. I'm going to ask him what he was taught. My course was not a safety course, quite the contrary.

BTW, I got to shoot my DW 15-2 after range class for the first time ever. Shot the 8" barrel at 50 yards....... amazing!!

Thats fantastic...I am rather jealous, I have yet to cough up the money for myself, even though the rest of the family just did their first class ( I do not think it is as extensive as yours).

Chest pains could well be real if I have to defend myself. I already have a heart condition. I had angioplasty in 1992 before stints were so popular. I'd probably throw up. I once watched a very large dog die a painful death after a car hit him and it made me sick to watch. I can kill wild game but if it's not a kill shot I can go ahead and finish it off. I really hope I'll never know.
As a result of the training, I changed out my .357 in the table beside my bed for my .45 Kimber 1911. It has a couple more rounds and has night sights.
