PLEASE PLEASE if anyone here is thinking about getting a CCP please take a REAL course, and then continue to retrain. I have an exstinsive back ground in the subject, with well over 30+ years, and i just signed up for yet another course.

Heres the real deal, YOU ARE TAKING SOMEONES LIFE. You dont want to make a mistake. Whether your in the right or in the wrong you life will change, Ive seen it first hand how it affects people.

THIS^^^^^ Before you decide to buy a weapon and take the carry course YOU need to have a soul searching and make damn sure that if and when the need arises , You can kill another human being?

Yes, we all talk a big game and say , no problem. But when it comes down to the nut cutting .Can you and will you do it?
Been many a rookie both LEO and military that passed the training w/ flying colors but they froze the first time s--t got real.

If you decide that yes i can and you take the CC course don't stop there, take some tactical courses . decide how you are going to conceal and practice getting your weapon from concealed to a firing position.
When i say practice i mean over and over . your are creating muscle memory . My instructor says 1000 times of drawing the weapon then 1000 times of drawing and going to firing position then the same by drawing, safety off, hammer back, firing position.
make sure that you practice with the weapon that you will carry w/ it fully UNLOADED!
I have watched guys use this technique go from an average shooter to drawing from concealed and having the first round on target in less than 2 seconds.
