Give us helpful tactics that will keep us alive as we live our lives as a concealed carrying citizen. We’ve talked about it before, the Carrying Lifestyle Always carry 2 Always carry the same way Train the way you carry It’s easy to disregard these three rules of carrying. We become complacent. It’s a habit of life to become complacent. I was given a promotion at work that put me in a new position. This position offered new job responsibilities, I had to dress differently, requires new skills, old skills had to be honed. I worked really hard at the beginning to prove myself, I earned this position!! Well, time set in...I became complacent. Have a gun at the gun fight!!! When thinking about positions of advantage, practice in all areas of your life. Because, lets be honest, you never know when you may need that advantage. Disgruntled employees or coworkers, crazy people on the street, aggressive sales people, confrontational individuals. 3 Main things to think about: Do I have an out? An escape plan!! Is my confrontation between me and my escape? How do I fix that? Where are my hands? Am I holding grocery bags? Do I have paperwork in my hands? Are they in my pockets? If things go bad, what are you going to do with the crap in your hands? Keep your hands up!! Be ready to fight if necessary. Visualize, practice, know your weakness, have a plan.

This can be live or dry fire. face your target with your firearm in your normal concealed carry position. At the start or at the buzzer if using a shot counter, step right or left working on foot movement as well as presenting your firearm. Fire two shots at the target.
