I agree. Continue your training, and keep up on your skills by practicing. I hope you never have to use a firearm for personal protection. If you do, it is likely you will be sued in civil court. Make sure your ammunition is made for personal protection. If it is not, the lawyers for the one shot will have a hay-day with that fact.
