Has anyone that is currently open carrying or lobbying for open carry in their statesconsidered practicingany type of handgun retention or weapon malfunction type drills?
I ask this because in my opinion there a several reason why someone might open carry. Maybe to make a political statement, to preserve their right to bear arms, for personal protection etc. But when making that decision to open carry, maybe some have overlooked a more important underlying issue. The responsibility that comes with making thatdecision to open carry. That issue being your responsibility as a person to protect that firearm and make sure that you have total control over it at all times. As well as maintain that firearm so that if that one situation arises and the only thing you have to count on is your good judgement and the piece of metal strapped to your side. I won't go into any elaborate typesof scenarios here. Just a suggestion, but how about consideringto practice malfunction drills. Also weapon retention techniques that work with your type of holster that you are currently carrying.
If some don't understand the verbiage or are unfamiliar with some of the terms statedI am using I apologize and will explain. Weapon malfunction drills in the sense of clearing a firearm from a jammed round, poor magazine feed, or other type of malfunction that occures when the weapon misfeeds. When I say handgun retention I am referring to youphysically keepingyour weapon in the holster if you are involved in a struggle, fight, etc.
Just a thought what do you guys think?
