3 Beginner’s Tips For New Concealed Carriers • Become familiar with EVERY ASPECT of your concealed carry system, including your: • — weapon of choice • — ammo of choice • — holster of choice • — clothing of choice • — behavior of choice • First of all, you will probably never experience a situation so bad that you’ll feel compelled to draw your weapon.

• Even so, it’s important to be prepared for a so-called worst-casescenario… and that begins with being familiar with every little detail of your CCW system.
