Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important step before carrying a new firearm?

Before carrying a new firearm, it's crucial to break it in by firing at least 100-200 rounds. This ensures the gun functions reliably with your specific carry ammunition and helps identify any potential malfunctions before you depend on it for self-defense.

Should I modify my carry gun for better performance?

It's generally advised against modifying your carry gun, especially trigger jobs. While modifications can improve a range gun, a modified firearm could be used against you legally in a self-defense scenario, potentially arguing negligence due to altered components.

What are the risks of carrying a firearm while under the influence?

Carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous and illegal. It can lead to severe legal consequences, including felony charges and the permanent loss of your firearm rights, even if no incident occurs.

How should I practice with my concealed carry firearm?

While close-range practice is important for self-defense, you should also practice at longer distances (10-12 yards or more). This broadens your proficiency, improves efficiency, and builds confidence in your ability to handle your carry gun effectively in various situations.
