The firearms massacres that have periodically caused shock and horror
around the world have been dwarfed by the Mumbai shootings, in which
a handful of gunmen left some 500 people killed or wounded.
For anybody who still believed in it, the Mumbai shootings exposed
the myth of “gun control”. India had some of the strictest firearms
laws in the world, going back to the Indian Arms Act of 1878, by
which Britain had sought to prevent a recurrence of the Indian
Mutiny.
MEMORIZE THESE!!
1. ALWAYS treat guns as though they are loaded until proven otherwise.
Never ASSUME that a gun is unloaded, especially before pulling the trigger. Only when YOU have performed a clearing of the gun is it to be considered unloaded. If someone clears the gun before handing it to you, clear it again yourself. Never rely on another to tell you weapon is unloaded.
2. NEVER point a weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy.
This is true during live AND dry fire.
3. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger along side the slide of the gun in as high a position as comfortable. This is know as the “registered“ position and is where you finger should be at all times when holding the gun in a “master” (where you are in control of the gun) grip.
4. ALWAYS know your target what is in front and beyond it.
Be absolutely certain you have identified your target, foreground and beyond. This means observing your entire area of fire before you shoot. Look, Think, then Decide if you should shoot!
Never shoot faster than your brain can process the situation!

Why am I always armed? Why do I train continuously?
This from a friend who works in a prison:
“Today, I had an opportunity to hear stories from several violent offenders, straight from their own lips. All were in excellent physical shape and would (and do!) put up a serious fight in any situation. I know few people could prevail against them with only bare hands. When there is more than one, any one of us would be in serious danger. Put any one of them into regular clothing, and they would blend right in most anywhere.
One inmate revealed the reason he was in the prison was multiple murders. He got high on meth one evening and decided to break into a home. He tied up the terrified (an unarmed) husband and wife, then decided to murder them. With a pocket knife, he sawed on a woman’s neck until he had cut her head off. Before he himself was similarly murdered, her husband heard every one of her screams and gurgles!
He took the victims’ car and headed out of state. On the way, he ran out of gas, so he stopped another car, murdered the unarmed driver (again with a pocket knife), and took that car.
He continued to meet and murder people over the next week, seven in three states. Finally, he returned home, married his girlfriend, and became a father! Using DNA analysis, detectives secured a warrant for his arrest two years later.
This is just one prison story, and by no means the worst! This institution alone is full of them.”
Comment: Next time someone asks you why you go armed, tell them this story!

You can also print out all the forms you will need to apply from there.
