re: Took a concealed carry class

If you carry in the middle of the back and fall on it the wrong way, you can break your back. Past that, I don't know about any "do's" or "don't's." I think mostly it's just about preference in holster type.

Gun ownership is as simple as knowing you're not carrying it because you can... but because you know you'd know what to do with it if something awful should happen.

So, I guess you could qualify that as a "don't." Don't carry a gun if there's any remote chance it will end up getting used on you. I'd suggest a class that will help you learn to use your gun correctly as well.

Welcome to the club! It's an -amazing- right. It's about having the power to protect us from our own government (among other things). Oh... and rule number #1: It's -always loaded and ABOUT to shoot-, regardless of any hand touching it or if you "unloaded it" a second ago.

Yeah... and what those guys said. If you intend on carrying it, I'd strongly recommend a sub-compact because they're the most comfortable to carry.
