Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important rule when carrying a concealed firearm?

The most crucial rule when carrying a concealed firearm is to avoid dangerous situations and locations. If you wouldn't go to a place without a gun, you shouldn't go there with one. Prioritizing avoidance minimizes the need to use your firearm.

Can I drink alcohol while carrying a gun?

It is strongly advised not to drink alcohol while carrying a gun. Even if legal in your state, alcohol impairs judgment and decision-making, which can complicate self-defense claims if an incident occurs.

When should I take my gun out of its holster?

You should only take your gun out of its holster when facing an imminent deadly threat. Otherwise, it should remain concealed and holstered. Taking it out unnecessarily can escalate situations or lead to legal trouble.

Why is smoking cigarettes a concern when carrying a firearm?

Smoking cigarettes increases your overall risk of death from health issues like cancer. While not directly related to firearm handling, it's presented as another factor that increases personal risk, which responsible gun owners should consider for their overall well-being.
