This week I am training 11 ladies. Several of them have their CHL & the rest are prepairing for it.
Folks are really recognizing the need & getting prepared.
So far I have never been called by a student that told me they were alive & their assailant was not & training saved their life. Hope I never get that call. I know personally one Instructor who has.
I have lost count of the calls & visits I have got over time from folks that said they were approached in a parking lot, gas station, incident at their house, .... where at best unwanted attention & at worst probable crime was at hand. Their general response was always something like: "Thanks to training I knew how to handle it." So far never a firearm drawn.
Some ladies have said, a yr ago I would have given that panhandler $$$s & then gone home & beat self up wondering why thy did it. No more.
Verbal assertiveness training is as important as arms training. Maybe more so since it is needed more often than the weapon.
As sure as you will never DO what you have not trained yourself to DO,
You will never SAY what you have not trained yourself to SAY.
No Personal Defense Instructor ever got where we are w/o investing time & $$$s in training.
CHL is good.
Yes, defense training is fun on the range.
It can be a life saver on the street.
Training builds confidence & confidence is not arrogance.
There is someone in your area. Do your homework. Find them & train.
