He was armed, he was willing, and he couldn't shoot

You have probably seen the coverage of the active shooter incident in Idaho. What made it stand out, especially in our community, is that the attacker was engaged by multiple armed citizens rather than just one.

At least five firearms were involved in that fight. Two of them either went down or just never made it into the fight.

One was the attacker's handgun, which malfunctioned. In that case we can be glad it did. The other belonged to a retired officer who was there and armed and willing. He was shot, and with only one working arm he could not get his gun into the fight.

I am not interested in second guessing anyone who ran toward that. Those were brave people. But there is a lesson sitting in the middle of it that we need to consider: on the worst day of your life, something may go wrong with you or with your gun. Getting it into the fight and keeping it in the fight is a skill, and most people who carry have never trained it.

That is exactly why we built a course called Stay In The Fight. We filmed the whole thing and published it on our site.

It covers preventing malfunctions before they happen, clearing them fast when they do, and running your gun with one hand. Loading, drawing, clearing, reloading, all of it, with either hand.

None of that is particularly tacti-cool. Nobody posts a video of themselves clearing a double feed. But if you carry a gun for self defense, it belongs in your skill set.

Here is everything the course covers.

Stay safe,

P.S. Think about your own carry setup for a second. If your strong hand is out of commission, do you know how you would clear a malfunction or reload? If the answer is no, that is a gap worth closing. Start here.
