OK, I just took my CCW class last night from a very good instructor, Daniel Brunner. That was very a informative evening and left me with a lot to think about. Mr. Brunner is a well seasoned man and can deliver a clear picture of what happens when you use your gun in self-defense. Since I don't have a dangerous job do I really want/need a CCW?
Things I'm thinking about:
> Finger Printed and on record with FBI.
> Some municipalities list CCW people automatically as “Persons of Interest”.
> Carry a loaded (chambered) gun. I don't even chamber my rifle when hunting until just before the shot.
> Highly recommends getting liability insurance to cover large lawyer fees, etc.
> There are so many places you can/can't carry and ways to get your self in trouble when carrying. You must be well informed and mindful of what you are doing to much higher degree than most of us non-carriers ever are.
Before the class my big concern was getting a comfortable fitting holster. Not so sure a CCW is right for me at all now.
Any thoughts?
