Cover is a gift from the heavens if someone tries to kill you with a long-range, portable hole puncher. Cover projects a literal blanket of security that sits between you and certain death. I guarantee anyone reading this owns a gun for self-protection and likely carries the gun for self-defense purposes. If you carry a weapon and intend to defend your life and the life of your family, then you need to know how to use that bulletproof heavenly gift.
Using Cover
Getting tucked in and safe behind some form of cover seems simple. Just stand behind it, right? Well, not exactly. If you’re new to carrying a gun, you likely picture something from a movie. The hero has their back to a wall, their gun held with both hands at chest level. They spin out from around the wall, and plot armor takes over.
That’s not what we are doing today. We are taking a rational look at how to use cover and how to make the most out of that bulletproof, or more accurately bullet resistant, heavenly gift. The first thing you need to be able to do is figure out what resists bullets and what doesn’t.
