owning a hand gun for defence has many responcibilites that go with ownership, we all know this. But inorder to use that gun in a moment of crisis we need to know how to use it instinctivly. Learn to shoot at what you see with out looking at the gun. A perp just ten feet away can be on you before you have time to aim. Being clubed, slashed or stuck with a knife or worse will surley ruin your aim. Be your weapon a semi or DA revolver learn to use it well. Shoot with out sights. Remember that nois in your house could be a loved one comming home, we don't want the kind accident caused by inexpirence or rattled nerves. A flashlight is also a great thing to keep handy, pick up the gun in your gun hand and the light in your off hand, if you have time. Investigate the sound that drove you to your gun and make lots of noise, let the intruder know you are there and armed. Playing cop or Rambo will get you dead. Make the perp leave. Shoot as a last resort, and learn what is a last resort before you take up guarding you and yours with deadly force. The legal entanglement you will find yourself in for pulling that trigger before you are sure you are trully in danger will really ruin your day and a whole lot more.<P>Bullwnkl.
