How can YOU NOT AFFORD to pay for training when you own a handgun for CONCEALED CARRY?

-

When purchasing a handgun, there are some things to consider, we will talk about one criteria I tell my students.

Cost.

You want to look for a handgun that you can afford to purchase, as well as the total cost.

Not only are you looking at purchase price, you want to look at the cost of the ammunition, training, classes, liability insurance, ongoing training and gear.

You are purchasing a new lifestyle when it comes to concealed carry, so you need to learn good safe habits right away.  They do not come with the box that your handgun came in, there may be an owner's manual and some propaganda for warranty information and how to use the lock, but that is it. You just purchased a handgun, now what?

Train, but how? I have my permit, you might say to yourself, but here in Pennsylvania, that is all you need, but is it? The 12 rules written from the County on a piece of paper that comes with your concealed carry permit does not tell you anything about the legal aspects of concealed carry and use of firearm for self-defense, nor does it give you information on training you should receive.

What happens if you have a negligent discharge and it hits someone, what will happen to you?  I know for a fact, you most likely will wind up with serious civil damages and criminal charges will be pending, what could the cost of the class have saved me?  A lifetime of regret, let alone the heckling you will get for shooting your spouse's boss in the leg while showing them your prized handgun. . .

Also, if you happen to be unlucky enough to use your handgun in self-defense, do you know what to do or say so your conversation with police that will not make your 20 hour stay a 20 year to life sentence.  Because without the liability insurance can you and will your family be able to find a PRO2A defense attorney to help your case, or have the money to do so?

These are things you need to be able to afford when deciding on the purchase of a handgun, it sounds expensive, but when you waiver the fact that you could lose your family's home, your job or if your spouse decides to leave you for defending yourself or a loved one because you wound up in prison for defending yourself and now have no legal aid on your side to help you.

So, with this, I believe you CAN AFFORD to pay for training to be safe.

Whether the instructor is with the NRA, or the USCCA, you have them both on your side.  If you forego the training with an instructor and still get a handgun, please get the insurance and piece of mind.

Carry one in the Chamber? If not, you could be setting yourself up for disaster!

 Have you ever put the seatbelt on during an accident?  Well, that would be the case of having a full magazine with no round in the chamber.  How do you get used to carrying a firearm?  Well, for one, you can start by carrying one on you in the comfort of your own home, getting used to sitting, walking, using the restroom, etc.   Carry it on your person as if you were in public, careful not to bring attention to it by touching it all the time, adjusting your pants, etc.   Conceal it the best way you can, and find the right tools to do so by looking at comfortable, sturdy options, a leather-backed holster with Kydex formed to fit your firearm brings you all-day comfort.  I chose Crossbreed Holsters for my main concealed carry holster option.   I also use other types of holsters for how I dress. There are good options out there, but finding one for your needs is a task for you and you alone. I, nor anyone else can tell you what works best for you and eventually, you will have a drawer o

How do your classes work? Where do I start?

Where do we start you off?  If you tell me you have been shooting and have taken classes before, we ask which ones and which affiliation have you taken them from. NRA? USCCA? Brand X, or BIG BOX INDOOR RANGE PLACE?  I have typically 2 basic courses for anyone to start out at, even as a refresher for those who have been shooting and taught by a friend or family member, trust me, you will learn something here that they could not have taught you unless they took a class with us and remembered everything we teach, or they themselves have been a firearms instructor and know what I know.  I have been to many instructors/schools/training facilities and know what they do not teach.  -prices shown are at the time of this article, prices may have increased due to rising costs- Pistol Fundamentals, or Women's Pistol Fundamentals-  $175 6-hour course 1) Safety Rules, 2) Handgun Anatomy 3) Action Types 4) Ammunition types/storage 5) Sight Alignment 6) Trigger Cycle 7) Gear & Gadgets 8) Rang

Do they do ongoing training with a Certified Instructor?  Do you have enough Volunteers for your Greeter/Usher/Security Team? Do you have armed security?  Have they qualified with a Firearms Instructor for Insurance Purposes? Are they Insured in the event they need to use their firearm?  Personally Insured or does the House of Worship Insurance Cover these volunteers?  At Shamar's Shield, a division of Gunpowder & Lead Firearms Training, we help re-establish the Greeter/Security/Usher Team, and make it manageable.  We offer a few programs.  1) Ongoing Training for 1 year, including 4 In-person HOW training, 26 Zoom meetings for your team to train on subjects, 2 days at the range and 2 days in the HOW for Reality-Based Training utilizing SIRT (inert weapons),
