Hey, guys.
I'm a newly-minted concealed handgun license holder; I'm just getting used to carrying. I'm a minister of a church and developing our campus security plan. We do have a few members who carry and I was encouraged by the eldership to get my license.
I've selected a Ruger American Compact in 9mm as my EDC. It seems a tad heavy, but I'm pretty sure that's because I have literally never carried a firearm with me on a daily basis. I have an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck IWB holster on the way (thank you, UPS...) and I was encouraged to buy a real gun belt, so I chose the Relentless Tactical in both brown and black so my gun will stand out less on Sundays. Hopefully.
I would appreciate any and all advice on how to safely and responsibly operate as a concealed handgun owner. I had a very good CHL instructor who is a retired DPS trooper. He gave me a lot of great instruction, but I'd like to gain access to 'continuing education', so any resources you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. I have selected USCCA as my insurance carrier and I'm paid up for the year, but if anyone knows of better deals, then send them my way. What I like about USCCA is that they offer classes throughout the year.
Again, thank you for all the wealth of information I've gained thus far on this site and I look forward to talking to you all.
