So everything is done, license is in the mail.
Now here is my list of things to do... (Some already done)
1. Decide which firearm(s) to carry
the more options the better
2. IWB or OWB or BOTH carry
see above
3. Pick a holster
see above
4. Get CC insurance
do your own research about whether you feel that you need/want CC Insurance (pre-paid legal service) or whether you know an attorney who would be willing to help you in a pinch. I chose pre-paid legal because I didn't really have anyone else to call in the middle of the night if I had to shoot...
5. Get a car safe to store said firearms if need be
http://www.center-of-mass.com/car-lockersthere are other companies who have the same product with a different name. It's simple and effective. Gun Vault has the car vaults that are more secure but they cost a lot more too.
6. Buy new pants and belts - different shirts and styles.
7. Pick up critical defense ammo
check out http://www.sgammo.com lots of people buy speer gold dot ammo and various other self defense ammo from them and they have good prices
And of course ongoing training to draw from and shoot from holster...
Whew.. I'm exhausted already.. Did I miss anything
