You Need Concealed Carry Training ~ Video

USCCA

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The laws regarding concealed carry and the use of deadly force are amazingly complex.

Even if there is no requirement for training in your area, I beg you to get the training you NEED to ensure that you are a responsibly armed citizen.

By the same token, even if a requirement infringes on your right, that does not mean the training is not important. Get the training. You need it.

I agree that training is something everyone should have. Just because you take the training, it doesn’t mean you have to apply for and get the permit. Anyone carrying a gun should be educated in the law about it, and as it says here, those can be quite complicated and vary from state to state.
