“FWIW, one time I had to use my Smith w/ CT in a situation. A 6’5” man was attacking me. When I aimed at his forehead, at about 10’ range as he was coming for me, I said, “And I know how to use it.” He immediately hit the ground and begged for mercy.”

Way to go!!! So glad you’re OK. Have you convinced all your friends and family to get their carry permits yet? I’d say you’ve got a better argument to make than most of us.

Thanks pyrless. Actually I come from a shooting family and was the ‘last’ one to get my CCW. LOL

I am glad to add, with all the training, practice and courses you take for defense, I think unless you’re an experienced military or seasoned LEO, it always helps to have an edge. But, at least for me, in the remote recesses of your brain, you have a teeny tiny doubt, that if it comes down to it, will you have what it takes to use your weapon?

I’m glad I passed that hurdle because now, I have absolutely no doubt. And this comes from a lot a personal searching and introspection because I have the deepest respect for all life.

But even having a red dot is no substitute for lots and lots of practice.
