Just remember that when you're in trouble and seconds count, the police are minutes away.

I'm all about my guns for fun at the range, hunting, and protection. However, I do believe that there should be some sort of mandated training and recertification for concealed carry. $150 plus 250-500 rounds of ammo for the day isn't cheap but being required to do a basic pistol or concealed pistol class from good instructors (magpul dynamics, redback one, grey group, vickers shooting method, etc) every 3-5 years is just a good idea.
