My wife asked me the other night why I had to sit in my gun room and click my gun every night .. Meaning dry fire my carry weapon ..

I explained the more I practice the quicker I would react incase I would ever have to use it .. and told her to read the motto written on the black board .. " Don't train till you get it right !! Train till you can't get it wrong !!" when you can draw and fire with out thinking about each step your doing .. and do it repetitively every time the same .. you have to practice to accomplish that .. just 5 minutes a day makes a huge difference ..

You must be completely familiar with your carry weapon what ever you carry .. and if your leery of carry with one in the chamber get a DA/SA with a safety and carry in a holster that completely covers the trigger .. that's as safe as you can carry a pistol !!

And get training .. as much as you have time for and the money to pay for ..
