Because unlike riding a bike, safe gun handling skills are perishable, if not practiced regularly. Regular practice attains and maintains proficiency.

I moved from NE to NJ and all I have is a blue gun and a IWB holster. To rent a gun buy ammo (at the range) is about $70! So practicing keeps my up on my skills and saves cash!

Because drawing from concealment is the best representation of the real-life scenario that you will face in self-defense situations. If you can't do this reliably you may not survive when it counts.

if you need to draw, you don't have time to fumble around. practice when your life isn't on the line and you can create muscle memory

It is always best to practice what you want to learn when you are not under pressure. You can do it very slowly at first, then you can increase your speed as you find yourself getting better.

Practice makes fast and permanent. When under stress, I want to be able to draw and hit my target (thug) without having to think about what I need to do. MY LIFE depends on it.

I was taught most altercations where you have to draw your weapon happen from 4-7 yards and you normally don't have much time to aim down the sights, so thats why I train from the hip.

I carry concealed so I carry for protection and practice for perfection. You must try something 3000 times roughly before it becomes second nature. That way when the time comes it just happens.

Being skilled using firearms is a continuous process - with a lot of repetition - the only was to develop muscle memory.....play the 'what if' scenario. Of course, I only practice draws @ right time.

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.
