While looking into various different training methods to improve gun owners abilities to hit the target everytime, I came across an excellent book written by Erik Lawrence and Mike Pannone called Tactical pistol shooting. Not only is it filled with guides , tactics, and techniques to become proficient with pistols, it emphasizes the point to train more and fight less:

"If you choose a firearm for personal protection, you have an obligation to perform to a significantly higher level. Carrying any weapon brings with it a higher legal, moral, and ethical standard. The armed citizen must be cognizant of his surroundings; he must be able to anticipate and avoid, if possible, any potentially dangerous situations. If an armed citizen is unable to avoid a lethal confrontation, he must be able to devote his entire being to resolving the situation at hand. And he must posses the self-control necessary to know when and how to use,or how not to use, Deadly Physical Force"
