And the Steel Ibeam has said it beautifully. I also fell into the "hunker down and wait" mode, putting Krav on the back burner (waiting for a private slot to open), staying off the range (I don't have nearly the ammo reserves I should), and generally playing a dangerous waiting game. There are a million excuses to NOT train, but they won't save you when SHTF. Excellent read from a true Patriot.

There is an old saying, beware the man who owns but one gun, chances are he knows how to use it. My advice for years has been own at least two. Have a 22 rifle to train with. Ammo is cheap, usually available, and you can shoot all with out spending a fortune. The rules of balistics don't change much between a 22 and a 300 mag. Bullets still drop, they still get moved by wind and blades of grass, and you can learn to compensate with them.
Make sure your MBR is sited in and ready, then train with the 22.
recoil? If you are ever in combat, you will find you don't notice it at all when the adrenaline is pumping. Better to train with a low recoil 22 then have a loved one who is scared of the buck of the .45.
