1. Do attend a reputable training class. There is no “one size fits all” approach to carrying a concealed weapon, and you need to be properly trained to carry it responsibly.

2. Do get good quality gear. A good holster, belt, and ammunition make all the difference when it comes to concealed carry.

3. Don’t skimp on your training or your gear just to save money – this can be a deadly mistake!

4. Do conceal your weapon well. This means wearing clothing that will hide the outline of your gun and practicing drawing your weapon so that it can be done quickly and discreetly.

5. Don’t let anyone know you are carrying a concealed weapon unless they need to know. This includes family and close friends.

6. Do practice regularly with your concealed weapon. This will help you be more comfortable and confident with it, and will also ensure that you can use it effectively if the need ever arises.

7. Don’t forget that carrying a concealed weapon is a serious responsibility. Make sure you are mentally and emotionally prepared to deal with the consequences of using your weapon, both legally and morally.

8. Do stay up to date on the laws in your state regarding Concealed Carry. These laws can change frequently, so it’s important to keep yourself informed.

9. Don’t hesitate to seek professional help if you are struggling to deal with the responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon. There is no shame in admitting that this is not something you can or should handle alone.

10. Do remember that carrying a concealed weapon is not a guarantee of safety. It can often make dangerous situations even more dangerous. Use your best judgment in all situations and be aware of the potential risks involved in carrying a concealed weapon.

There is a lot of debate on the topic of concealed carry, and everyone seems to have their own opinion.

Do’s and don’ts of carrying a concealed weapon?

But here are some general tips that may help you if you’re thinking about carrying a concealed weapon:

DO learn the laws in your state regarding concealed carry. There may be specific places where you are not allowed to carry your weapon, and there may be restrictions on how you can carry it (e.g., in a holster, etc.).

DON’T drink or do drugs if you’re carrying a concealed weapon. You not only increase the chances of making poor decisions that could get you in trouble but also impair your ability to use your weapon effectively if needed.

DO practice with your weapon regularly. This will help you become more familiar with it and increase your confidence in using it, if necessary.

DON’T display your weapon to others unless you have to. Remember, the goal is to keep it concealed!

DO be aware of your surroundings at all times. This includes knowing who or what is behind your target, as well as being aware of escape routes in case you need to use them.

DON’T hesitate to use your weapon if you feel like you’re in danger. The sooner you act, the better chance you have of protecting yourself.

If you have any further questions about concealed carry, please consult an experienced firearms instructor or attorney in your area.
