Safety is not an accident. Everybody drove, right? Probably to work today, might be listening to podcasts right now. Hopefully not walking, though. So keep in mind, but when you drive year after year, you do it safely.  It's because of the things you do, and that's the same thing in a training environment, whether it's training for a marathon or you warm up properly, start there afterwards. Firearms training. I've been doing a lot of defensive training. It's because of the fundamentals you laid down. - Adam Metcalf

 

In this episode, you will be able to:


  • Mastering firearm safety training enhances your confidence and competence in handling firearms.
