As an instructor, one of the most important fundamentals I teach is this: know your target and what’s beyond it.

In this video, you can see a man step in and stop what could have been a robbery — but at the tragic expense of his own wife. That’s the part people don’t talk about enough. It’s not just about stopping the threat. It’s about accountability for every single round you send downrange.

You are responsible for your target, what’s in front of it, around it, and beyond it. In a defensive situation, emotions are high, adrenaline is pumping, and tunnel vision is real. That’s why training matters. That’s why discipline matters. That’s why we don’t just train to shoot — we train to think.

Every decision has consequences. Make sure your training prepares you for all of them.
