Firearms Retention Techniques

These are a good thing to pracice for the times when an unarmed assailent attempts to take away your firearm. I have had a few peoploe try, but they were never succcesful at it. One did manage to bite my arm on the bicep when he realized he wasn't getting the gun. He got a good and quite legal whooping for that. Basically it was a combination of unarmed techniques, retention techniques and a bit of martial arts that saved me in that case.

Another time it was five (5) assailants at once who tried to get it from me. To this day I am not exactly sure how I held onto except that I fought like I knew my life depended upon it. Whatever I did, I did it right and it saved my life. My guess is that if I had not been trained in firearms retention I would not be here today.

I put this in this forum because when retaining your firearm you are in essence involved in hand to hand combat.
