As I said before I don't carry 24/7, nor do I think I need to. But I do practice regularly. And yes do practice quick draw and double taps. My Police friends and books on self defense I've read have recommended many of these techniques. If you choose to own a weapon, know how to use it. Safely, efficiently, prudently. These are not toys, but instruments that can cause death. Anyone who chooses to exercise their right of ownership should take the responsibility to be educated.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Having the power to take a life from more than arm's length is a large, and horrible power. Never to be taken lightly or played with.
It appears that the participants in this thread on both sides understand this. Safety is the major concern for both sides, let's not loose sight of that. We may differ in approach, but we are actually all being protectors.
