Watch This Before You Decide to Carry a Gun
A firearms instructor discusses the biggest mistake new gun carriers make: not deciding in advance when they would use their weapon. He emphasizes that drawing a firearm means committing to potentially killing someone, and that anyone uncomfortable with that reality should not carry.
Summary
In this brief excerpt, a firearms instructor and tactical trainer identifies the most critical mistake new concealed carriers make: failing to pre-determine the conditions under which they would deploy their weapon. He refers to this pre-decision framework as a 'loyalty chain,' a concept he teaches both in tactical training and personal development contexts.
The instructor argues that the decision to draw a firearm must be made before any encounter occurs, not in the heat of the moment. His core point is stark and direct: drawing a pistol is functionally equivalent to deciding to kill someone. Therefore, carriers must be psychologically and morally prepared to take a life before they ever choose to carry. He concludes with a firm position that individuals who are not comfortable with the possibility of killing another human being should not carry a firearm at all.
