Can you hold a baby & defend yourself with a handgun? | #firearmmentor #illinoisccl #2astrong

Can you defend yourself with a handgun while holding a baby?

Physically, perhaps. Safely, it creates serious problems.

Try this controlled, two-stage drill with a qualified instructor. Secure 15 to 20 pounds inside a training doll so nothing can shift or detach. Using an inert training firearm, carry the doll while moving toward cover.

Practice calling 911, protecting the doll’s head, and placing it in a predetermined protected location.

Only after the doll is safely down and completely behind the firing line should the live-fire portion begin. Practice carefully controlled, one-handed shooting under your instructor’s direction.

Never fire while holding a real child, and do not hold the weighted doll during live fire.

The lesson is simple: protect the child, create distance, find safety, and use a firearm only as a last resort. Learn more at www.FirearmMentor.com
