7 Things To Do Before Carrying A Gun

About this video

Colion Noir shares seven essential pre-carry checks he believes gun carriers should complete before leaving home with a concealed firearm. He draws on his own experiences and mistakes to teach preparedness habits covering ammunition testing, stress practice, wardrobe considerations, equipment maintenance, and chamber status verification. Colion emphasizes that according to him, concealed carry is a lifestyle requiring daily mental and physical discipline, not just strapping on a holster.

Key takeaways

• Colion recommends testing self-defense ammunition thoroughly in your specific firearm before relying on it, shooting an entire box to ensure reliability and accuracy
• According to Colion, practicing mag dumps from concealment and drawing in your daily clothing helps identify gear malfunctions and wardrobe interference before they matter in a real situation
• Colion advises always performing a press check to verify chamber status, checking your red dot battery and screws, lubricating your gun, and inspecting spare magazines for debris before carrying
