Frequently Asked Questions

Does the public notice when someone is carrying a concealed firearm?

Colion Noir explains that, contrary to initial fears, the general public is largely oblivious to individuals carrying firearms. Unless someone is actively looking for it, they typically do not notice, even if the firearm is 'printing' through clothing.

What is the psychological effect of carrying a gun on the carrier?

Carrying a firearm can sometimes lead to solipsism, where the carrier falsely believes their weapon is obvious to everyone. This can also manifest as anxiety during interactions with law enforcement, even when legally armed.

How should one approach interactions with law enforcement when carrying a firearm?

While carrying legally, initial anxiety is common. The key is to understand that law enforcement officers are trained to identify threats, and your legal carry is not inherently suspicious. Awareness of your surroundings and proper procedures are crucial.
