What’s holding you back from taking your conceal carry course?

With all the different training organizations out there what’s holding you back from signing up ?

People are holding back? Every time I pass by the ranges near here, they're invariably packed with instructors/course takers. Day of the week doesn't matter.

Have there been any outliers? Doesn't seem like it.

Money and free time.

Free time

Time.

16 hours is a LOT of time to carve out when you have 3 jobs.

Liability, the scenario of shooting someone, awkward to carry a gun concealed.
I prefer to avoid places where I may need to carry a gun but there are folks who need and deserve to carry and I'm thankful for them to have the right.
Protecting yourself and others from harm is a good enough reason to carry.
As far as being robbed, the amount of cash you carry and your phone or car is not worth the lawyer fees, being sued and prosecuted. You'll probably not get your gun back even if you shoot it in your own home.
I think the new legislative session is going to bring new challenges, restrictions and requirements to the law. Maybe turn over your social media accounts, require insurance, mental health examine.
Maryland's state's attorney will criminalize you for protecting yourself, charge you with murder and make the perp the victim.

I understand. A new roof is expensive coupled along with the price of classes now.

Agreed. LGS used to run two W&C classes a month and are now doing two per week. Booked solid into December!

 

[Blaster229]

LOL, Thanks

I do hope for a speedy recovery.

Cost, as both my wife and I want to do it.

 

[traveller]

Time. Wore out the wife's willingness to put up with me being gone for weekends.

I think you've thought this through pretty carefully, and made a decision that is right for you.
