10 Gun Training Skills You Should Master… But CAN’T Get at the Range!

It’s an unfortunate puzzle for the armed citizen…
You see, if you’re ever forced to defend yourself and those you love with your firearm, a jury is going to take a hard look at the training you’ve received.
Strangely, the more training you have, the higher the standard you may be held to in your actions.
But what about a LACK of training?
Turns out you can held liable for what you don’t know but ‘should’ have known – and it goes far beyond your shot group down at the range. In fact, below are 10 gun training skills you should master but can’t get at the range.
