Iowa Concealed Carriers.
Have you studied Iowa Code section 704 Use of Force?
Also consider some key elements of justifiable use of deadly force for the purpose of defense.
1) Imminence- one’s self or an innocent will receive serious bodily harm or death.
2) Reasonableness-It is reasonable to believe that deadly force is necessary.
3) Proportionality-Deadly force is justified against a threat of comparable severity.
4) Ability to do harm-The threat is capable and has the ability to do serious bodily harm.
There is a lot when it comes to the justified use of deadly force in the case of self-defense.

You can be a Master Marksman at muzzle contact distance where there is virtually no deviation (misses). As distance increases the misses can begin to occur and deviation expands. You are the biggest cause of deviation. Your level of mastery of the fundamentals will determine the degree of deviation in your shooting be it practice, training or during high stress defensive shooting.

Wanted to share this from last Wednesday's private "Introduction to Defensive Shooting/EDC". Taylor attended a "Pistol Marksmanship Course” a few months ago. This is her target shooting strong hand only, support hand only, and 2 handed support side for the first time at about 12 feet. 5 rounds each. All X- ring hits. Caleb did almost as well with all 10-ring hits mostly X-ring.

General reasons for fi****ms and defensive shooting training.
Fi****ms are tools that demand skill and knowledge
Fundamental rules become habits only through repetition.
Range accuracy ≠ defensive or stressful use.
Training bridges the gap between ownership and competency.
Training has the highest-return investments a gun owner can make relative to the potential costs of being untrained.
