Appropriate level of skill to carry concealed, responsibly?

[Shawn Dodson]

Has there been any trend of problematic CCW shootings that shows a need for an "appropriate level of skill"?

I don't, but I'm only 81.

At 70 (but I identify as 5), I'm starting to see your point!

He teaches a great snubby class, BTW. JLW has a great podcast with John Holschen on requisite abilities. John stresses an interesting aspect of skill which is when to stop shooting. Found that this is teachable. He taught high end competitors and found their split times increased but appropriate hits increased significantly. Holschen is good teacher, did classes with him.

I took John Holschen's course last year and can testify that knowing when to STOP is harder than it may seem. Same thing with John Hearne's Cognitive Pistol (but we made it almost through the 2nd day before anyone had a "bad shooting ). Cognitive overload is a real thing and I now have MUCH more sympathy for cops who don't hit as often as I think they should in a gunfight.
