Expensive Ammo & Guns

People who take terrible photographs think that buying an expensive camera will improve the pictures they take. Other folks think that a more expensive power tool will make for better woodworking. They refuse to look inward, and admit they have to learn basics first.

A good photographer, one who sees the picture, understands composition, and can use a camera, any camera efficiently, is able to take beautiful photos with any camera. Photographs, not snapshots.

A man who can work with wood, read how the grains flow, understand the basics of measurement, angles, joints, and construction concepts, is able to create art from scrap.

No matter how much you spent on a gun or ammunition, if you can't hit the target, and hit it more than once, you are flat wasting money and putting yourself at risk in a personal defense situation.

How beneficial is buying expensive personal defense ammunition if you can't hit the target? How much does the bad guy care about how much that custom pistol cost if you can't bring it to action when you need it?
