In a world where danger lurks in unexpected places, your personal safety strategy demands more than wishful thinking. This week, Eric and Matt dive deep into the critical importance of everyday carry, sparked by the recent CDC shooting where an assailant had 500 rounds of ammunition and specifically targeted a gun-free zone.

Beyond just having a firearm, we explore the heavy responsibilities that come with carrying. When shots ring out, your first duty is to those immediately in your care—not playing hero for strangers. We candidly discuss the messy reality of multiple armed responders in crisis situations and why "running toward gunfire" requires careful consideration.

The hardware matters too. From the concealable SIG P365 to the reliable Glock 19, we break down practical EDC options that balance capacity, controllability, and concealability. Modern 9mm defensive ammunition has revolutionized personal protection, offering excellent stopping power with manageable recoil—but which specific loads perform best through barriers like automotive glass and heavy clothing?

Perhaps most crucial is what most overlook: medical preparedness. If you're prepared to create wounds, you must be equally prepared to treat them. We explain why tourniquets, gauze, and medical training might save more lives than your firearm ever will. Your fine motor skills deteriorate under stress—have you practiced drawing your weapon after physical exertion?

Whether you're new to carrying or a seasoned veteran, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating the complex responsibility of being your own first responder. The choice to carry is deeply personal, but for those willing to accept the responsibility, it could mean the difference between life and death when seconds count.
