Absolutely, say the anti-gun lefties. They would rather leave kids defenseless from kindergarten through high school than trust willing teachers to protect them with concealed-carry weapons. Teachers idolized as brilliant, selfless saints in the classroom are apparently too incompetent, irresponsible, or just plain stupid to be trained to capably operate a firearm.

Tuesday night in Edmonds, myself, Dave Ross, Jason Rantz and King County Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht will discuss and debate in what we have billed as a discussion about guns and our children. There is much to discuss: Why government employees ignore existing laws, which enable murderers like the Parkland killer, the Virginia Tech murderer, and many more? Why do gun control advocates and their partners in the mainstream media ignore the fact that it is gang violence which we could attack without a Second Amendment issue that is responsible for most murders with guns?

To become competent with your defensive handgun, you must practice. But, practice consumes money and time. Training courses are a way to maximize your time and money because theyre controlled and conducted under the watchful eye of a capable instructor. This is why Gunsite Academy has been in business more than 40 years. However, few of us have a week or $1,500-plus lying around to take advantage of what such a school offers. There is an affordable option, however, one that can fill the gap until vacation and greenbacks become available. You can drastically improve your defensive-handgun skills by developing a budget practice plan, and most importantly, by sticking to it.
