In times of crisis, there’s nothing more that we hate than the panicking of a select few. We don’t trust people when they go into “panic mode.” There’s a good chance they’ll do something stupid and wind up hurting themselves or others. Instead of panicking, it’s time to stock up and learn to protect yourself and your loved ones. That’s what drove us in putting together this Concealed Carry Handguns issue of Personal Defense World, which is full of great info. We have guides on the best carry pistols that won’t break your budget, the top holsters of 2020, and how to dress to defend yourself no matter the weather. Stay safe!
