What is your go-to gun in case of a burglary or home invasion? Is it a shotgun? If it is, you need to be trained up on it. In my Basic Defensive Shotgun class, we bust the often repeated shotgun myths and learn why the shotgun is a thinking man's weapon.

Just a few of the shotgun myths we bust:
1. "Just rack the action and the badguy will defecate in his pants and run away."
2. "You can't miss with a shotgun."
3. "A shotgun is simple."


Sunday November first from 10am to 6pm I'll be teaching the Basic Defensive Shotgun class at Colonial Shooting Academy's Richmond location.
