This week’s Broadcast contains a brief message: How and Why Anger (and other negative emotions) should never be allowed to last in our Guardian minds (and mindsets) for very long. What should fuel us instead? Compassion and a love of human life!

In this week’s broadcast, I answer a burning question sent in a few weeks ago by a seasoned veteran who was wondering:
“In your experience up to this point, what do you see as the top 3 most common and most destructive mistakes people make in their concealed carry journeys?” Buying the wrong gun? Nope! The answer to this question goes a lot deeper and reaches further than that. I hope you enjoy this (somewhat lengthy) broadcast!

During this week’s broadcast, I answer a few questions that have stacked up in my inbox, including: “I’m uncomfortable carrying with a round chambered. What do I need to do, if anything?”, “I don’t know if I understand all the hype about Combat Breathing. Why, and when, is it useful?”, “I don’t feel nervous or apprehensive about the idea of using my gun in self-defense. Should I?”

This week’s Guardian Broadcast focuses on the second of two possible goals related to concealed carry: the goal to go beyond defending one’s own life (or the lives of his/her family members), to seeking to be prepared to deal with better-equipped threats like active shooters, even when personal escape is possible. For such Guardians, Pat also lays out the risks of legal liability. Finally, this broadcast spends several minutes dealing with the alarming reality that we live in a social and legal climate that is eager to make an example out of any privately armed citizens who use their guns at the wrong time.

This week’s Guardian Broadcast is especially important, because Pat breaks down all reasons to carry concealed into two vastly different goals: to be safe, and to be both safe + effective. Applying the 80/20 rule to each goal yields unique implications for the armed American, including every Guardian Broadcast listener.

Did you know that each of us has the ability to create unique competitive advantages for ourselves? In this Guardian Broadcast, Pat lays out his concept of the “Competitive Advantage Action Cycle,” because he wants you to understand just how far Discipline, Opportunity, Awareness, and Action can carry you far beyond your fellow men–in self-defense and in life at large.

This week’s Guardian Broadcast follows up on last week’s broadcast, and shines a light on one compromise I didn’t address last week for making Concealed Carry work with Formal Business Attire: Simply down-sizing our carry guns (either permanently, or having a ‘business clothes’ gun as well as a ‘all the other time’ gun). What’s wrong with carrying a smaller gun? What factors must go into the decision to downsize?

In this Guardian Broadcast, Pat attempts to answer a common question among those who carry concealed: How do I carry concealed when I have to wear business attire (most commonly, a button-down shirt and tie, tucked into dress pants)? After a practical explanation of some of the options we have, Pat dives deeper into a dilemma people usually confront in situations where carrying will be difficult: Do I even need to carry concealed at all while wearing these clothes?
