When I receive my License should I carry a firearm?
Carrying a firearm is never meant to bring excitement into your life. It brings with it considerable responsibility to know the rules and to train with your firearm to become proficient. You carry the means to protect life or deal out death. As a permit holder you will be held to a higher standard of conduct. If you cannot except this responsibility, adapt how you conduct yourself in your day to day life, and make a commitment to training, you should not carry a handgun or any weapon as you will be posing a risk to yourself and those around you.
