Disagree with many points of this podcast
Very opinionated
I know many older men and women who would be better off with a 5 shot revolver, no limp wrist, can handle Less recoil with a smaller caliber, etc
Not everyone needs a quick open safe
( no children, keep the gun beside bed at night and carry in daytime, have a hidden storage device, etc)
Not everyone needs a gun safe
I think the “shopping list” is a good start for someone getting into conceal carry. As you go , with experience and training through the years , one will make some modifications to the list. Some will carry more rounds , some less. Some may not carry as much med stuff or maybe more. Either way , ccw shouldn’t be taken lightly. Always be a student .
Loved this informative episode! I wanted to educate myself on the first aid stuff & wanted to clarify the website you referenced which offered free first aid information?
