Conceal Carry Training helping you excel in other parts of life.

I’ve noticed Conceal Carry Training has helped me in other areas of my life.

I learned that you have more control over your firearm if you jam it in your holster, or if you shoot from retention.

That retention position helped me today with learning how to polish car parts at my new job, helping me maintain control of the sander, and buffer pads.

In what ways or areas of life has conceal carry training taught you, that has also applied to other aspects of life?

Not just CC training, but SD training in general. Sounds crazy but, the more I train, the more at ease I am in general with my surroundings regardless of where I am in the world.

Conceal Carry has taught me to be a little more organized in my thoughts and my actions, ie the way I get money out, or how I put groceries in my car.

:thinking: I guess it gets me to the range more often which makes me happier.

I’ve actually had the opposite for the most part. For example, growing up around power tools trained me to keep my finger off the trigger until I’m ready to cut/drill/etc. You don’t want to have your finger on the trigger of a Skillsaw while holding it next to your leg. Growing up working on cars and repairing other things gave me a real appreciation of how firearms work and how to maintain and fix 'em (amateur gunsmithing). And I’ve always been more of a quiet & observant type of person, so learning about situational awareness just put a name to a lot of the things I’d already been doing.

It has taught me to be a more polite and respectful citizen. I am more patient and keep my temper in check. If someone cuts me off in traffic, snags a parking spot I’ve been waiting for, or is rude; I just shrug it off and go about my day.

I also find that I am more situationally aware now, and observing other people’s behaviors and things that seem out of place. I also don’t mind waiting a few minutes for a table at a Restaraunt. It gives me extra time to scan the room for exit routes, cover, concealment, and the other patrons in the Restaraunt.
