Proper MINDSET, TRAINING and PREPARATION is key to protect yourself and family. America is showing their desire to do just this!

In 2017 there were 17.25 million
In 2018, some 7.14% of American adults had permits and an unknown number were carrying in the 16 states that now allow some type of “permitless” or “constitutional carry”.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE? FLORIDA is the #1 state issuing concealed carry permits (1.9 million), followed by TEXAS at 1.3 million.

Keep in mind bad guys don’t use ONLY guns — they use whatever they can to harm or kill as many as possible (vehicles, knives, planes, boats, explosives). STAY ALERT. If you see something, say something.
STAY SAFE. TRAIN OFTEN.
