I agree!
After taking a defensive pistol course, part 1, it changed my perspective A TON!
It’s one thing to pickup your firearm off the table at the range, use both hands, aim, fire, repeat.
It’s a whole new ball of wax getting your hand on the firearm, drawing it from the holster, while defending with other hand, and quickly in a simulated “real” scenario.
Then there is the don’t STAND there, move so YOUR a harder target to hit AND hit the target.
It made me a proponent of open carry.
