Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to carry a concealed firearm?

While concealed carry purses offer an option, carrying a firearm on your person is generally recommended by instructors for quicker access, especially in a self-defense situation where your arms might be compromised. The most effective method is the one that allows you to reliably and quickly draw your weapon.

Should a self-defense firearm have a safety?

Many self-defense instructors advise against manual safeties on firearms used for personal protection. In a high-stress encounter, the extra step of disengaging a safety can cause critical hesitation, potentially preventing the firearm from discharging when needed. Training to manage a non-safety firearm is key.

How important is situational awareness for self-defense?

Situational awareness is paramount. Being aware of your surroundings allows you to identify potential threats early, avoid dangerous situations, and react proactively. This awareness is a critical component of personal safety and can significantly reduce the need for lethal force.

What is the difference between a concealed carry purse and carrying on the body?

Concealed carry purses provide a dedicated compartment for a firearm, but accessing it can be slower, especially if an attacker grabs you. Carrying on the body, via a holster, generally allows for faster and more direct access to your firearm, even if your movement is restricted.
