There are many things in the world that we know and understand because they are common knowledge.  We have been exposed to those ideas throughout our lives as we grew from a child through adulthood.  There are also ideas that we know because we have been taught these things by someone else.  The more we know and study a topic, the more we realize that there are many things that we do not know.  We realize that our knowledge is limited, and study to learn more.

But what if your understanding about a topic is so limited you don't even know where to start?  Even the most basic concepts are foreign to you.  You have now entered the area where you don't even know what you don't know.

What do you know about guns and ammunition? What do you not know about Carrying A Concealed Weapon.  What do you know about CCW in Wisconsin?  Deadly Force Decision Making?  Proper Firearm Handling?  There are many very important aspects of Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) you may not even realize exist, even if you have already obtained a WI CCW license / permit.

What is your life and freedom worth to you?  In a worst-case scenario, you could die or your your family could die while you watch.  Lights out.  End of story.  Or you could survive what you were sure was going to end up being a deadly encounter, only to kill an innocent person.  Neither is a favorable outcome.

You owe it to yourself to get the most comprehensive training and information possible.  Be skeptical.  Does what you are being taught make sense?  Does it seem unrealistic?  Does it only work when you are training at slow motion speed, instead of at the speed of real life ? Does what you're learning take into account your body's reaction to stress brought on by the "fight or flight" response?  These are all questions that you should think about as you move forward on your learning journey of self-defense and CCW.
