This was the headline on Fox News this morning regarding the shooting that took place yesterday in Nevada. The main difference between this incident and past shootings, is use of a long gun, an AK-47B in this case.
Now putting the motives aside, the details of the attack, or even the aftermath, the topic of this blog is the fact that a long gun was the issue that needed to be addressed. Also, this is not the first time that happens. Various attacks included long guns, such as Columbine high school for example.
It is amazing that although handguns are getting stricter, long guns can still be bought and carried out of the store the same day. Don't get me wrong, I am not proposing stricter laws for long guns, but the reality is that hunting rifles, shotguns, and even assault rifles are common place in many households around the country.
As you can see, the reality of having to defend against a long gun is there, and possibly higher than even a handgun. However, many training facilities neglect to teach their students how to defend these common weapons.
So if you are in doubt as to whether or not you should learn how to defend against a long gun just read the news, and if you want to learn how to actually execute the skill check out a class or one of our seminars on weapon defenses.
Stay safe,
