How Long Have You Been Carrying A Firearm, And What Have You Learned?

Big question with the last one, I know. Hopefully, you’ve been learning new things all the time and continue to mold yourself into a responsible concealed carrier. We can never learn too much and we can never train enough. With that said, we’d like to simply throw out two questions:

1. How long have you been carrying?
2. What have you learned during that time?

The second question is open-ended for a reason, and we want to see what comes to your mind first. So many things are on the list, we’re sure, but let’s hear your answers in the comments below.
