Why having Your Concealed Carry License is Important? The State of Ohio is recognizing the Constitutional rights of citizens to carry handguns concealed. It has recently passed a concealed handgun carry law allowing citizens with the proper training to apply for and receive such a permit. It is prudent for responsible Citizens of Ohio to receive the proper handgun safety and permit training and be able to protect them and loved ones from direct criminal attack. Crime has been reduced in other States that have passed similar laws. When criminals realize they may face serious harm or death when randomly victimizing citizens, they think twice. The vast majority of times a firearm is used in legitimate self-protection, a shot is never fired. The deterrent itself is enough to cause a would be attacker to flee. Keep in mind, just as buying a hammer does not make you a carpenter, just carrying a gun, does not make you immune to violence or ready to face a violent criminal. You must mentally prepare and train properly in order to use a handgun safely and effectively to defend yours or another's life. Empower yourself by mental preparation and training. It is your responsibility to prepare to deal with this threat of random crime, direct personal threats, and terrorism; thus protecting yourself and your family. By educating and training yourself in awareness, fighting skills, and combat use of a handgun, you will empower yourself with more options to deal with such a threat. WHAT IS SELF-PROTECTION? "Self-protection" has different meanings to different people. To some, it is learning crime prevention methods and participation in block watch organizations. To others, studying a martial arts, or carrying a gun. Whatever you’re ideal is, please continue to educate and train yourself. Please keep in mind you must develop your fighting spirit, be aware of your surroundings, and learn to overcome and use fear to your advantage. If you are not properly mentally prepared, all the weaponry and martial skill will mean little against a determined attacker. Remember, it will be you, and you alone, face to face with the mugger or thug in an alley; the serial rapist entering your bedroom. If you are aware, make yourself a "hard" target, you may avoid him altogether. If a face-to-face confrontation is unavoidable; develop the skills to be able to escape and call for help, your fighting spirit, and the aggressive combat fighting skills needed to survive a brutal attack. Empower yourself with choices! If each of us take ownership of our personal safety, Ohio and our United States, will be a safer place for all who wish to live peacefully.
