Stupid training habits: Moving towards the target as you shoot it.

I see this a lot on the range and in various classes I have attended.Guy stands on the firing line, draws his pistol, starts shooting at the target WHILE moving straight towards it. Why?If you are a LEO or military then sure, I can see reasons for this but as a civilian with a CCW I cant see the point of this.Yes, movement is great but out of all the directions you can move I believe that moving directly towards it is pretty dumb. The human body can soak up a lot of bullets and still function and there exist many videos of thugs still fighting after being shot several times. Why move closer to the thug and give him a better chance to get to you? Then your either making it a fight for your gun or dealing with his knife or even him with a gun.Yes move but move to the sides. This gets you away from the thug and makes it harder for them to either reach you or shoot you if they have a weapon. If you ever visit the range then chances are you are a better shot than the person attacking you so why negate that tactical advantage?Maybe I'm just missing something here.Here is an example, start at 0:17 https://youtu.be/QWghyqgXcIo?t=16The ONLY time I can see a need for this is if the only cover is directly a few feet in front of you but thats unlikely and that reason has never been emphasised at any class I have taken that taught this.I did ask one instructor what the point was and he replied "You need to take the fight to him." Seems like a silly answer to me. Later that day during force or force we all instinctively moved two the sides while shooting and heading to cover.Anyways, just my .02 cents. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2BziyOs

Moving to Connecticut, question on the laws...

So I got orders to PCS to Connecticut with the military. I have found conflicting information regarding the gun laws there. I have handguns, rifles, and a shotgun.In regards to my rifle/shotguns, is the paperwork process fairly difficult to get permission to have them with me? Should I even bother...or should I just give them to my parents while I'm there for a few years?Not really sure what to do because I've always gone to fairly gun-friendly states (Texas, FL, VA) and now I'm being told by various coworkers/friends that CT has had a lot of recent changes to their gun laws, but I'm lost at finding good information on it all. The CT government website states that I can apply for permission to bring my "assault rifles" with me because I'm military, but I don't want to end up there...have them deny it because they rarely get approved...and then now I have nowhere to put my precious babies.Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2DSldYD

Minnesota brandishing?

No, not serving a steaming bowl of bran flakes.Curious how you all would interpret the law concerning brandishing. I watching a fake video about a guy driving during a road rage incident, and one dude points his handgun at the other driver and the other guy slams on the brakes. Yes, a fake/staged video but it got me thinking.Now lets be clear, this is something I’d never do. In my mind, if my weapon is coming out it’s for a damn good reason, not to play Dirty Harry.So after watching that video, there were tons of comments on it about brandishing being illegal and so forth. It made me curious what the legality of it was in MN. I found the following page:http://ift.tt/2nfb8LZ the text it clearly states that any person who: “(2) intentionally points a gun of any kind, capable of injuring or killing a human being and whether loaded or unloaded, at or toward another” would be guilty of a misdemeanor.The only other place in the text I could find anything about “brandishing” was in reference to while on school property with a replica firearm or BB gun.My question is this: since the above quoted text says “intentionally points toward another”, does that mean a person could technically - in a potentially dangerous situation - perhaps say lift up a shirt to indicate that they are armed? Doing so is clearly not pointing a firearm at anyone.Yes, I do understand the complications of “escalating” situations and legalities therein. When the safest and easiest path is to just remove yourself from the situation that is always the best choice, but we all know that sometimes that isn’t an option.Thoughts? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2Bz9sRP

FN 509

Anybody have the 509? If so what holster are you using? I just picked up the gun and I'm looking for a leather minimalist holster similar to a Yaqui Slide. Something like below. I'll take all your recommendations.http://ift.tt/2GpePGU via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2rKlUhM
