This is episode 19. Gear Guide: Elzetta Flashlights GunGuyRadio Interview Elzetta disassembled under water Main Topic: Picking an Instructor I never really thought about it beforehand, but picking a quality ccw instructor is just as important as picking out your carry gun. Instructors will mold you and shape you more than you realize. It is important to pick an instructor that can teach you everything you will need to know. If they don’t teach you, most likely you will never know what you missed. The thought of how important a quality instructor is never crossed my mind until I was sitting in class and realized my instructor was not answering the questions I had in my head. When can I use my gun? Where can I not carry? Where is the best place to carry on my body? How should I carry my gun? What kind of ammo should I use? Should I carry a spare magazine? What holster should I buy? Can I use my gun to deter crime? What happens after I use my gun? Can I leave my gun in the car? Can I carry my gun loaded? Should I have a round in the chamber? CalCCW Forum Utah Concealed Carry Forum Texas CHL Forum Gun Safety: 1) Always treat a gun as if it were loaded. 2) Always point a gun in a safe direction. 3) Know your target and beyond. 4) Keep your finger off the trigger unless you intend to shoot. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER!!!! Training Trick: I want you to practice sidestepping as you draw your handgun from the holster. The purpose of this is to move out of the way of an attacker. Getting off the “X” if you will. You can do this with live fire or dry fire. Stand in a casual manner then quickly sidestep while drawing your handgun and fire 2 rounds. Re holster and repeat.
