A Gun Won’t Save You
Having a gun or knife will not protect you in all situations. You won’t have your gun or knife ready to use, and assailants won’t warn you before they get 21 feet from you. It takes 21 feet for you to pull out your gun and fire 2 rounds. A victimizer won’t have the good manners to give you fair warning.
If you choose to get a gun, fine. I highly recommend that you get training with it, so that you can use it safely and effectively. However, do not mistakenly think that it makes you invulnerable.
What do you think?

I got a few guns, but they are for hunting not self-defense. I wouldn’t give one to my daughter for self-defense or anything.

Common sense stuff, and like you, I agree you should have training, and I do hope that the Texas law requires you to have training. And you take care of that gun.

Owning a gun or knife for self defense is a good idea.I agree that proper training is key.Remember that reliance on that weapon only could be dangerous.You must also be able to use body weapons,ie;fists, elbows, legs as well. If you are attacked,that weapon could be taken and used on you.Proper training on knife and gun defense is also key. http://www.sammyfranco.com
