Carrying a Concealed Handgun
  • Once you have made the decision to carry a gun
    and understand the laws in your state, there is
    one thing that is not an option and that is
    carrying a gun un-holstered.
  • Whether you carry in your pocket, in a purse or
    in your belt, your firearm must be holstered and
    the trigger covered at all times.
  • Carrying a concealed gun carries the great
    responsibility of being safe and fully trained
    how to use it.
  • If you are not prepared to commit to these
    things, than you are not ready for the
    responsibility of gun ownership.
