The Myth Of Feeling Safe With A Firearm
Oct 14th 2021
As the world becomes increasingly dangerous, people react differently, whether through fighting for legislation or purchasing a gun. But, just purchasing a gun isn’t enough to ensure your safety or the safety of your family. For that, you will need to be properly trained to use your weapon. Six Maritime has busted the myth of feeling safe with a firearm and how a lack of proper training may put you in more danger.

Having A Gun Doesn't Mean You’re Ready
So you’ve purchased a firearm to protect you and your family, but having this tool doesn’t make you automatically able to stop bad things from happening to you or your family. Having a gun might make you feel ready to protect your home, but gun safety is a myth without proper training. Some people may take to extreme lengths, such as putting their gun in a closet, where it won’t be easily accessible in the event of a home invasion.
You Think You Are Prepared
Many people base their knowledge of guns on what they learn through TV shows and movies but watching someone shoot a gun on TV or movie and actually shooting a gun are two different beasts. You may be prepared for a home invasion or to prevent dangers to your family, but without significant training and practice, plus the right skills and mindset, you could be endangering the very thing you sought to protect.
How Firearms Training Can Help You Prepare
The key to feeling safe with a firearm is quality firearms training, where you can get the skills necessary to use the tool that will help prevent bad things from happening. Gun education doesn’t end with an introductory pistol course or a concealed carry permit. Safety, comfort, and proficiency are critical when handling a firearm. Every gun should be treated as if it can fire at any time, and you should never handle a gun carelessly.
