The person that takes the responsibility to carry concealed should understand that he must control the physiological and psychological stresses that will occur when he or she may have to use a weapon in self defense.  He must also must also be trained in the law for when and when not to make the decision to defend him or herself.  The failure to understand the law means that you may have had the right to carry a deadly weapon concealed but you may also go to prison or be sued for using or carrying it in Kentucky even though you were the victim of a burglar or attacked.  Obtaining a permit is only the start of having training in the legal and marksmanship decisions that are made when you carry a concealed deadly weapon.  I teach CCDW classes and as an attorney I teach what the law is and when it is correct or incorrect to shoot in self defense. 

  The decision to use deadly force in self defense is only correct when made in fear to save an innocent life and never in anger or with any selfish motive.  The law that allows you to do this is explained in the CCDW class and our manual and audio.  If a person uses concealed carry and deadly force with anger or with a selfish motive then he should first dig two graves.  Carrying a concealed deadly weapon does not make a person a police officer.  Instead it allows you to take personal responsibility for the safety of yourself and your family instead of waiting for police who often  arrive 30 minutes or longer after you were attacked.  Like an insurance policy hopefully it will never be needed but you don't want to drive or go out in public without it.  It was designed to be a life saving device and not a life taking device and if used properly about 94% of the time it will not be used to injure someone in self defense.
