Frequently Asked Questions

Target shooting focuses on accuracy and small groups, while concealed carry training emphasizes shooting under stress, potentially while moving or after physical exertion, to simulate real-world defensive scenarios.

No, the opposite is generally true. Responsible concealed carriers take on significant responsibility and can act as a deterrent or provide aid in dangerous situations, potentially reducing overall trouble.

Should you only carry a concealed firearm when you expect trouble?

No, it's a myth that you should only carry when you feel you need to. Predicting when a crime will occur is impossible, so consistent carry is recommended for effective self-protection.
