This DVD only covers one aspect of concealed carry - the mechanics of "how" to carry a firearm.

Unfortunately, the instructor does not delve into the personal and legal aspects.

For a beginner, there are some useful tips that could save you some money. Most people learn through trial and error. By demonstrating the various methods, it better prepares you to make a more informed decision about how to carry a firearm.

There is too much focus on speed of presentation and reholstering. These are skills that are better taught in a class with a real instructor, instead of on a DVD that is clearly aimed at beginners.

Overall it's a good product. The DVD is nothing more than a transfer of their VHS version. There are no special features. I have seen this video used in concealed handgun licensing classes, because it is a good overview of carry methods.

If you are interested in pursuing a CHL license, this is a decent primer on ONE aspect.

This tape is a good start for new holders of a CCW (Carry Concealed Weapons permit).

Seasoned CCW holders will get little from this video, newbies will learn enough to avoid making some of the mistakes that most of us had to learn the hard way.

It has some interesting footage on various carry options, some good practical shooting advice and examples of shooting from concealment (ie: through a coat pocket).

In my opinion, it makes too much of the ability to reholster the weapon after it has been drawn.

It does not cover the ethical, legal and post-shooting mindset aspects that would have made this a well rounded video. It only covers methods of carry, clothing choices, the draw and shooting.

NOTE: The "Fastest Handgun Concealed Draw and Firing" shown on this tape should NOT be attempted by ANYONE, EVER!

I watch the video and learn the basics of such disciplene(Concealed Carry) for a responsible gun ownership thinking.What i like best is the portion where mr. magill pointed out the situation that "it should not be a cause of further violent escalation ... it is not always nessesary to always introduce a gun...the best thing is to AVOID a situation as possible". The techniques presented on this video are very helpful to me and safety is always given a good emphasis.

I have had this for a while. It will tell you a thing or two about CCW that you may need, but it is meant for the beginner. I was fairly informed before I saw this so it was kind of meaningless. Also, you kind of have to buy into Lenny's mentality which I don't really. It is well executed and accurate. It would be a good primer for real CCW training and knowledge quest.
