@dumpstrpainting It's definitely helped with my confidence and sense of security. I'm going to the range this weekend, and I can ask them if they still do classes if you'd like info on that!
My rights are dwindling, and I'm terrified. In these times, I'm grateful that my partner has advocated for my safety. Not only has he empowered me, but he's also taught me how to protect myself. I carry daily, and I promise I won't miss if provoked.
