I am all in favor of pistol practice. Go to any indoor range and take a look. People need to practice. But do you ever wonder how much of this "defensive training" is simply churn? "Oh no, your five shot J Frame is totally worthless. You are endangering your family....blah blah". Or my favorite: "The 12 gauge shotgun is a ****** home defense gun". Really? I have hunted with a 12 gauge most of my life. I have a grasp of what a load of 00 will do at 5 yards. I wonder if some of these people have even fired a 12 gauge. Rant over. My apologies in advance.
