Question for the “just get a gun” crowd.

In my opinion unarmed self defense should be the default starting point in learning to protect yourself or your loved ones. So one of the recurring comments that shows up for anyone asking questions about how they should start self defense is “just get a gun” or “that wouldn’t work against a gun”.

I also carry concealed. For people who carry guns for self defense, what self defense training are you doing besides just going to the range and making sure you can hit a target?

Most self defense shootings happen at less than 10 yards.

Some things to think about:

Do you practice drawing your gun?

Do you practice drawing a weapon under stress? While somebody is charging you?

What do you do if you go to draw your weapon and somebody grabs your hand and the weapon is still in the holster? What if it’s out of the holster?

What if you and your attacker are fighting over possession of the gun?

What if you have a gun, but the situation isn’t deadly?
