Hi All
I am looking for recommendations for a trainer who can give me a 60 min Concealed Carry 101 training session to plug some fundamentals that I did not get when I took the 16 hour CCW class. I have my MD CCW but I feel that can use some additional information over and above what I got when I took the mandated class. I want to feel confident carrying a loaded handgun and although I can find a lot of the information I am seeking on-line, I believe that nothing beats training provided by a live instructor. For example, I want to be sure I get advice on the pros and cons of different carry-positions (Appendix, 3 O'Clock, 6 O'Clock, etc.), as well as tips on holstering/unholstering loaded weapons. In addition, I have bought several IWB/OWB holsters and most of them feel uncomfortable when I wear them, even when I do not have a weapon in them. This could be because I may not be positioning them correctly upon my person when I wear the holster. Basically I need someone to train me on the fundamentals that I should have got, but never did, when I took the 16-hour training course. I recognize that some people may think that I am overthinking concealed carry, but I firmly believe that I need the live training for my own safety and the safety of others around me.
My preference is for a trainer who is a 30-45 min or so drive from Gaithersburg/Germantown MD. I will of course pay a reasonable amount for this valuable and to me, essential training. I hope my friends on this forum can recommend an experienced trainer who can help me out.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
