{"id":10,"count":108,"description":"\u201cA gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.\u201d - Alan Ladd in \u201cShane\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s face it. Guns are cool. Guns are also a lot of fun. But a gun is only as useful as the person who uses it. It\u2019s very true that \u201cGod made man, but Colonel Colt (and his revolver) made them equal.\u201d However, all things being equal, the better trained gun owner is the one who will come out the winner of a gunfight. Let\u2019s make sure that winner is you.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFirearms training is an essential part of owning a gun. Safety training in the four rules of gun safety is a foundational element of gun ownership in the United States. Training to obtain a concealed carry permit is required in most states, and is still a good idea in states that don\u2019t require training.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHowever, going beyond the basic requirements to own a gun is where the real change is made in your ability to hit the target when it matters the most. Taking a pistol class that emphasizes the fundamentals of stance, grip, aiming and trigger press is a great way to continue your concealed carry journey. Learning how to carry your gun every day and develop a smooth, fast draw are also essential training topics.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nBut the learning doesn\u2019t stop with pistols. Here you\u2019ll find ways to be a better shot with a rifle, whether it\u2019s an AR-15, precision bolt action gun or just learning how to plink around with a .22 and actually hit what you\u2019re aiming at. And then there\u2019s the power of the shotgun, and finding ways to make a good weapon even better.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nNo one, not even top-level competitive shooters, is born knowing how to shoot a gun. We\u2019ll teach you the right way to do so, and we\u2019ll show you how to have fun while doing so. <\/span>\r\n\r\n ","link":"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/category\/training\/","name":"Training","slug":"training","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nSelf-Defense Training Resources - Pistol, Rifle & More Articles<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"An assortment of articles and guides to help shooters with self-defense, pistol, and rifle training.
