carry
My training consisted of marksmanship and bullseye shooting more than anything. I worked in a gun shop and carried openly and carried in my car (FL) before I got my permit. I was delayed for funds for it due to college (beer) expenses. I worked with the class instructor through so many classes at the gunshop I had no problem passing when I decided to get my act and the money together. Most of my actual self defense training back then came from books like In the Gravest Extreme and Stressfire. I didn't feel much different carrying concealed personally. I had a choice of pistols and free or cheap ammo and carried whatever I wanted. I just dressed around it. Still today I have no problem carrying a 1911 Colt in FL in the summer. When my permit expires in December it will be 18 years of carry.
