Poll for those who carry concealed
Given what I have read in some of the threads on this site to date...I have a questions for people who CC...or used to, and now OC.
How much professional training have you had with your carry weapon? Has participating in training influenced your decision to OC/ CC?
If people want to respond to the thread, I'd be interested to know what TOPICS were covered in some of the classes you participated in.
Thanks.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

re: Poll for those who carry concealed
40+ : Insights, ATSA, etc...
Has it influenced my decision to CC?
I can only speculate, since I have training. IOW, had I not had training I do not know if I would still CC *since I do have training*... So I have no idea.
Not sure what the diff is anyway as training is not required for OC or CC in Pa., so who cares?..._________________________________________

re: Poll for those who carry concealed
I've had very basic NRA class many years ago. I plan on getting real training this year. I won't make it my resolution, as those are made to be broken.
I vote the second first

re: Poll for those who carry concealed
I took a NRA safety class when I joined my range as required. Laughed to myself the whole time as I could have taught the class.
What is "training" anyway?
All police are "trained" and how many accidently/negligently shoot themselves or others every year?
Personally I feel if a person takes it upon themselves to study proper firearms usage and safety and tactics and practice properly they should consider themselves trained.

re: Poll for those who carry concealed
does carring a Beretta m-9 almost every day for 4 years as military law enforcement count as 40+ hours?

re: Poll for those who carry concealed
Greg. I apologize for voting before I read your first post.
The poll asks about level of training and subject matter covered. Your first post clarify's that for people who now OC
I do have well over 200 hours of professional training but do not OC so won't list my training experience or what was covered.
Sorry
