Special Report: Armed and Ready in PA-Good Video of Handgun Training Course

[RamboLiberal]

"I had two robberies in my home," said Terri, who did not want her last name used for this report.

During the second break-in, Terri was home.

"I heard a crash, a loud crash coming from (a downstairs) window," the York County native said. "I screamed."

So Terri, a nurse who works at two local hospitals, made a decision that tens of thousands of people just like her have done.

"I decided having a gun in my home was something I wanted to do and that I also wanted to carry a gun with me for defensive reasons," Terri said.

-----

"If I ever have to use it, I want to know how to use it properly. And be accurate with it," Terri said about her new handgun. "I don't want to be shooting ten people around because I don't know how to hit the target."

That is why Terri was one of a handful of student who recently completed a weekend-long defensive handgun training course hosted by the West Shore Sportsmen's Association in Fairview Township, York County.

BTW, PA does not require a course to get a CCW - but good on anyone who takes the responsibility to get such training.
