Welcome back to The Protector’s Perspective. I’m Chris Goemans, and if you’ve been following our Shooting Simplified series, you’ve already started building a solid foundation with grip and stance. This is the third installment of the series. But let’s be real: you can have the most rock-solid stance in the world and a grip like a vice, but if your sights aren't pointing where they need to be, you’re just making noise.
The transition from traditional iron sights to a Red Dot Sight (RDS) on a handgun isn't just a gear upgrade; it’s a paradigm shift. For decades, shooters were told to focus on the front sight while the target remained a blur. In a high-stakes encounter, this goes against every natural human instinct. When your life is on the line, your brain wants to look at the threat, not a piece of serrated steel an arm's length away.
Hey everyone, Chris Goemans here. If you’ve spent any time walking through Manhattan lately, especially near the "Crossroads of the World", you’ve likely seen the signs. They are bright, bold, and carry a heavy message: "Gun Free Zone."
You’ve spent hours on the range. You’ve mastered your draw stroke, you’ve practiced your "sight alignment" until it’s reflexive, and you’ve finally navigated the maze of NY carry laws. You are prepared for the fight.
But what happens when the fight is over?
Navigating the world of concealed carry in New York City often feels like trying to find a parking spot in Bayside on a Friday night, frustrating, confusing, and seemingly impossible. If you live in Queens, you know that the journey from deciding to protect your family to actually holding that permit in your hand can feel like an uphill battle against a mountain of paperwork and changing regulations.
