[QUOTE="FOG, post: 2741773, member: 37480"] I'm new here but I'll play. :lookaroun I believe training is paramount regardless of the type of weapon b/c simple things like working the safety (let alone aiming) is much easier said than done when confronted with adversity. It has to be second nature, with little or no thinking involved. For example, Many novice bowhunters go to pieces the first time a deer presents a shot. They draw, put their pin on brown hide, shoot and hope for the best. After a time, they learn to subconsciously "pick a hair" to aim at without much thought, i.e., they go on auto-pilot. That's talking about deer, I'd imagine when confronted with a human threat the intensity would be multiplied several times. That's why the military trains in repetition so when the 'fog of war' comes over you, your instincts will kick in and you'll perform as you should, theoretically anyway. Oh, and to answer the original question, I have a pump action loaded with buckshot beneath my bed along with a pistol hidden nearby and the AR is only a few steps away in my armory closet. ;) [/QUOTE]
