If You're Over 60 and Carry a Gun, Fix These 5 Things First

Most men over sixty buy the gun first, carry it for a month, and then it ends up in a drawer. It is rarely fear that stops them — it is five small mistakes made early, and today I walk through all five in the order of the damage they do. Number five saves your wallet. Number one decides whether you are still carrying next year, and it costs nothing. I talk about why the holster should come before the gun, why your everyday clothes matter more than the model you pick, and why the strength in your hands should have a say in the caliber you choose. I also get into what the industry keeps getting wrong about older shooters, how dry practice builds more skill than burning through live rounds, and the slow work of making carrying a gun feel ordinary instead of alarming. Near the end I answer the question your wife is going to ask you, honestly, and I go over the safety boundaries I think every new carrier should settle before the gun ever leaves the house.
