Knowing exactly what you want to achieve is the first step towards success.
For me this is being able to feel confident when running with my firearm on-body and that I would be effectively be able to pull and use the firearm if I needed to.
Seek Professional Training
Invest in professional training for concealed carry. Enroll in courses offered by certified instructors who can teach you the fundamentals of firearm safety, marksmanship, and self-defense techniques.
Proper training is essential for both beginners and experienced gun owners.
In my case, I am new to pulling from my running pants, so my goal is to work with a female instructor at my local range on practicing pulling from my running tights.
Regular Practice
Practice makes perfect. Dedicate time to regular firearm practice to improve your shooting skills.
