There are no right answers in a defensive shooting situation; with an infinite number of possible situations, there is an infinite number of responses. Know your laws, use good judgment and mentally prepare yourself for something to go wrong.
In no particular order, let’s go over three important topics that you may want to consider before it comes time to unholster your pistol:

- Use common sense
- Know your rights
All three of these topics combined should take only a few minutes out of your daily routine to review. Join ATS for a CCW Defensive Class and get all the details and learn much much more!
