Today we talk about carrying your gun. The long and short of it, do it every day. You never know the time and place you will need it. You never know if you will ever need it. But if you have your gun every day you’ll never wish you had. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Your life my depend on it. I also recorded a conversation between Bob Mayne, Paul Lathrop, and myself about government mandating training. Paul has a unique reason for thinking government mandated training is a bad idea.
