RULE #4
This course is designed to meet the specific needs of private citizens and/or off-duty law enforcement officers carrying concealed handguns for defense. While this is the most common context of concealed carry, current events and trends have required another look at the realities of deploying those weapons in public settings. Also, since we are using these guns in public without the benefit of Rule 4’s backstops, bystander control and easy sized targets, these new norms require performance in extremis that few organizations or training courses provide (and often teach responses in direct conflict with real world needs). In summary, Rule 4, so easily applied and often placed in our collective comfort zone at the range, looms huge in a street encounter.

COMPACT REVOLVER
In the age of the auto-pistol as the defensive weapon of choice, the compact (usually a snub nose or “snubby”) revolver continues to be the preferred choice of many armed citizens for their actual daily pistol carrying needs, while their 1911s, Glocks, etc. ride in the glovebox or in the safe at home.
