Hi I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog author of Navy SEAL shooting and one of
the top 20 most frequently asked questions I get is is a firearm even
right for me now start your timer as I share with you five questions to help
you decide if a firearm is right for you in today's five and under 5 FAQ
all right so this may sound strange coming from a firearms instructor but
firearms aren't made for everybody and you need to decide if a firearm is right
for you and there's a few questions that I'm gonna give to you and hopefully they
will help you decide if you should have a firearm or maybe you shouldn't have a
firearm number one is can you use any other options besides a firearm don't
automatically think if you need to protect yourself that a firearm is going
to be the best option for you there's tons of other options out there so what
other options could you use could you use pepper spray could you use a knife
could you use a big wooden stick whatever you do ask the question because
when you start asking questions that's when your mind is going to give you the
answers you need so number one are there any other options you can use alright
number two do you have the mental stability to own a firearm I mean let's
face it there are some crazy people out there and unfortunately crazy people
don't know they're crazy but if you have mental issues I highly recommend against
owning a firearm because something might set you off and you need to be in total
control of your mental faculties if you are going to own a firearm so take that
into consideration do you have the mental stability to own a firearm
alright number three is where do you live if you're looking to say protect
your home and you live in a small apartment complex that might not be the
best option for a firearm or maybe you live someplace that doesn't allow you to
own a firearm then that probably wouldn't be a good choice either because
I want you to follow the law people all right so where do you live is it is it a
good place to own a firearm or is it not remember just ask these questions and
you'll come up with the right answer all right number four along those same lines
of where do you live who do you live with do you live with small children
that could get access to the firearm obviously you need to protect them and
keep it in a safe place or maybe you live with one of those people who they
don't have the mental faculties and the stability to have a firearm in
the home so you need to think about that not just you having the firearm but who
else might be able to get to that firearm when you're not around
all right last but not least this is my favorite one number five do you have the
time to train to use that firearm safely and effectively because if you don't if
you don't have time to train if you don't know how to train or where to
start then do not start by going out and buying a firearm you need to make sure
that for your safety and everybody else's safety around you that you have
the time and the ability to train effectively with that firearm all right
that is it for today's FAQ make sure you ask yourself these five questions before
deciding if a firearm is right for you and please check out my other 19 5 and
