I'm one of those guys that think a CC doesn't give you ANYTHING except the right to carry concealed...
If you're going to carry --- or even USE firearms of ANY kind... then you need to invest in various classes. Not just target practice! It's like owning a high hp car... if you own something like that -- you should be equally engaged in LEARNING how to drive! To me - they go hand in hand.
There are so many GREAT classes a guy/gal can take! Including knife defense classes -- and tactical classes etc. There's a fabulous training group right in good old Pahrump! We should get a group together before or after SEMA / OUSCI and take one! My law enforcement buddies say this is one of the very best!
