Do you train like the military?

No. Our Armed Forces train primarily in aggressive offensive tactics, in teams, with battle rifles. Your main purpose for carrying a firearm is for personal protection and self-defense. This is not to say we cannot draw important lessons from the military.  Military training instills in the mind a "warrior spirit."  Read Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's book "On Combat" and decide for yourself whether possessing this spirit is an asset or a liability.  Read the author's essay on sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. "I do not fear an army of lions, if they are led by a lamb. I do fear an army of sheep, if they are led by a lion."- Alexander the Great There are some schools  where, as a civilian, you can get some specialized military- oriented training.  Click here then and scroll down to "Advanced Firearms Training."         If you want real military training, click below:
