This came in as an Ask Foghorn question, but I’d like to open it up to for wider discussion . . .
I just turned 21 and bought a new handgun and applied for a CHL in the great state of Georgia. I bought my gun at the shop of an old family friend and he hooked me up with a paddle holster, a leather OWB holster, ammo, a belt, and good advice. In the past I’ve always looked to TTAG and I was wondering if you had any advice for a new carrier. I know there have been a handful of articles over the past few years about first time carrying, but I had a difficult time looking for the ones I wanted. Any advice?
Here’s your chance to help out a noob. Think back on your first CCW experiences; the good, the bad and the ugly. What would you have done differently now that you have the perspective afforded by time?
