Hey, welcome back. I'm Tom Gresham.

This is Gun Talk, where we, well, guess what?

We talk about guns.

Big deal.

Not a surprise, right?

We call it Gun Talk because it weren't limited to hunting.

People say, it's a hunting show. No, it's not. It's about guns. It's about everything we do with guns.

It can be competitive shooting, keeping a gun in your home for personal protection, carrying a gun on your belt or in your purse for protection.

If you're going to do that kind of thing, how do you know?

Here's a good question for you.

How do you know if you're competent?

I remember asking that question with a bunch of pilots were sitting around one time, one evening, and I was the shortest time, the lowest time pilot there, a lot of experienced

people, people with tens of thousands of hours.

And I said, how do I know if I'm a good pilot?

And it kind of stumped them.

So the question I ask you is, how do you know if you're competent with your self-defense firearm? There are a few ways to know, but I think you have to,

I mean, if you can't measure it, you can't know. You've got to have some way of measuring.

And competition will help you with that because you're looking at times and scores.

Another way is just to simply go get training and find out how am I doing against everybody
