Notable Quotes from Karl Rehn

* "If you did great on your state concealed carry shooting test, it doesn’t really mean much. That doesn’t mean you’re well prepared for a real-life defensive encounter."

* "The gun in your glove box won’t help you at the grocery store. If you’re carrying, carry the gun ON you. Period." (Lora Thorson)

* "The FBI used to teach hip-shooting out to ten yards. Why? Because in the 1930s, that was the ‘status quo’—just like bad advice still circulates today."

* "If you don’t train regularly, your skills fade. You can’t just take a class once, call it good, and hope for the best when your life is on the line."
