Here’s today’s update with a mix of mindset, training, and real-world defensive gun use.

We start with Breaking Bad Shooting Habits, a look at how ingrained habits—especially ones you don’t even realize you have—can hold back your shooting and what it takes to fix them.

On the defensive side, a Pueblo resident used a .22 revolver to stop a knife-armed intruder inside the home, and in Indiana, a Muncie man who spat on bar staff and hurled chairs at patrons was shot in self-defense after the situation escalated out of control.

Different incidents, different settings—but each one highlights how quickly situations can escalate and why preparation, situational awareness, and understanding the law matter when seconds count.
