Practice.
Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice. Run Drills........Run Drills, Run Drills, Run Drills, Run Drills, Run Drills. And not just punching paper, but on a practical shooting course with silouhettes.
If that's your idea of a good time, sure. But, why would I want to spend a lot of time practicing how to kill someone when the odds of me ever having to use that "skill" are roughly zero?
Most cops go through their entire careers without ever pulling the trigger. And even untrained folks have successfully used firearms to defend themselves on the rare occasions where it's necessary.
As for me, I've got a lot better things to do with my time than to "practice, practice, practice" killing...like, riding my bike.
