I spent the other day working on my CCW here in Nevada.  In Michigan I had a CPL license and while it is not expired I needed a new one for the State of Nevada!  I think if you train in the Martial Sciences that having the option of utilizing many different tools is very, very important.  Firearms are one of the most effective tools available right now and probably will be for some time.  So getting training in them should be on the list and a requirement for serious martial practitioners.  Then having the ability to carry is just one more step in making sure that you can be prepared if needed.  I always further recommend that everyone go and get some extra tactical instruction on top of the basics.  This will really make you more well-rounded and sure of your ability to carry and defend yourself if needed.  Now I also understand that this training is not for everyone.  However, I always tell people if you can give yourself an advantage then you should.  Tool utilization at all levels is some thing that is very important for a martial practitioner so in the end if you can do not limit yourself and experience every thing that you can in the Martial Sciences.

See You On The Mats!
