There has been one story that haunts me each fall since 1990.
I still remember it as a 12-year-old boy, sitting in an auditorium listening to some overweight man with a moustache lecturing us in a hunter's safety course. He then turned on a video describing a horrible event involving a father and son on a hunting trip.
The two were hunting ducks. They were walking by a river in the trees, the son following the father, when a duck flew in the air. The father aimed and followed the duck with his site as it circled around.
In his concentration, the father didn't realize he turned around toward his son and pointed the barrel directly in front of his child's face. The father's eyes were set on the duck as he pulled the trigger.
But it wasn't the duck that fell.
The mood was somber in that auditorium after everyone realized the father shot and killed his own son on a simple hunting trip. Every fall, when the leaves turn from green to orange and gold, and hunting season starts, I think of that story and a simple firearms training course could have stopped that from happening.
Weapons are dangerous. No matter what experience you may have, accidents can easily occur, especially when it is involving concealed weapons. If you own guns, or want to own one, there should be no argument about whether or not you should take a concealed carry training (CCW training) or some type of firearms course. There are no excuses for gun accidents. Once someone is shot, it's hard to take that moment back. Safety should be the ultimate goal for anyone that carries a weapon.
Yes, guns are very dangerous, but they don't have to be - not with the right firearms training. The first part of any firearms training is, obviously, safety with each weapon. To be safe, the user must know each part of the weapon. The user is also taught different laws and techniques (like never point a weapon at someone, even if it's not loaded) that will ensure safety no matter what situation you are in.
Firearms training usually will discuss safety rules, malfunctions, components of the gun, the basics of ammunition, legal issues, cleaning, storing weapons, safety on a gun range, marksmanship, and other specifics for different types of weapons. CCW training courses will teach essential skills so you can safely use concealed carry weapons. CCW courses are usually designed for beginners and professionals and only take a total of 12 hours to complete.
Concealed carry training classes usually will take place in both the classroom and a firing range, and will teach things like safety measures, the functions of handgun components, ammunition, malfunctions, the grip and stance, sight and trigger management, cleaning and safe storage and other legal aspects and different types of concealment options. Students will be able to use what they learned on the range with myriad firearms like the 45ACP semi-auto pistol, the 38SPL/357 Magnum revolver and a 9MM semi-auto pistol. CCW training students will be taught how to shoot in low light conditions, night sights, tactical flashlights and shooting with a laser site.
