Carry for Life!© II
Strong - Off-Hand, take Cover!
In Carrying for Life! II, you will learn shooting techniques: rapid reloading, one-arm shooting (left arm and right arm), malfunction drills, half-turns, and full turns, and close quarter battle (CQB).
Then you will take cover! Many police officers and individuals are injured or killed while standing mere feet from an object that, if used correctly, would have stopped incoming projectiles. In addition, many are injured or killed because the cover was unnecessarily abandoned prior to the threat being neutralized or where individuals mistook concealment for cover.
-
Cover is an object which effectively stops or deflects a projectile.
-
Concealment is anything that hides a person from the observation.
-
Concealment is NOT always cover.
-
