    Duaine Zeitz is the CEO of Pack-N-Heat, Inc., and an NRA certified firearms instructor in both basic pistol and personal protection. He was a farm boy that grew up with guns. Firearms became a very satisfying, lifelong hobby. He shot competitively with some success with both rifle and pistol. As a member of the legendary Hadley Tech rifle team, he managed to acquire two consecutive Missouri state championships and one 3rd place in the nation in one of those years. Duaine became a small arms trainer in the Air Force and has been deeply involved with both bank and airport security in civilian life. After retirement, Duaine become politically active and helped the NRA in their efforts to get Missouri’s “Proposition B” on the ballot in 1999. He soon found himself in a position to be a major player in the efforts to get a CCW law passed in the state of Missouri. He has been providing the safety training required to qualify for the Missouri Concealed carry permit, as well as several out-of-state permits obtainable by mail, since 2005.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      ~~~~

      INTRODUCTION

      There has always been a psychopathic as well as a criminal element in our midst and there always will be. In fact, they represent a shocking percentage of our state’s population. Nationwide, 2.7% of our population has actually served hard time. These are repeat offenders that commit over 90% of all crimes. Our government has failed miserably in protecting us from them. This element has always found it much easier to prey on the weak and unsuspecting than to work for a living. They have expensive habits, usually drugs. They will do anything to support their miserable lifestyle, except work! They will rob, rape, maim and kill with no regret, as they place no value on another human life and very little on their own.

      Every time one of their atrocities makes the news, throngs of honest people panic and run out and buy guns they have no idea how to use safely! They usually ask a friend to show them how to shoot, and they will normally fire less than a full box of shells. Despite all of their good intentions, the lack of both knowledge and training will not only get them in deep trouble with the law, it may also get them killed.

      The very first thing I want to impress on you is the responsibilities and the safety issues facing those of us that choose to carry a concealed weapon are far more complex than any of those faced by the average hunter or target shooter. Subjects like always assume a gun is loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire and never point a gun at anything you do not intend to destroy are all extremely valid and important. However, they pale in comparison to the additional moral, legal and safety issues involved when we choose to participate in the potentially deadly practice of concealed carry.

      My second point, if you are going to handle a firearm, you owe it to yourself, your family and the world at large, to become an expert in its use. Like learning to drive, one can teach you the rules of the road, the traffic laws and the basics, but only diligent practice will make you truly skillful.

      Along with the other basics, I promise to give you a firm foundation in ballistics that is no longer taught by many of my fellow instructors. Don’t panic, I will try to make it interesting and fun. I will give you all of the basic tools required to become an expert marksman. I will cover most all of the problems unique to concealed carry. I will attempt to explain the reactions and mindsets of other groups of people you will encounter, including law enforcement officers, politicians, criminals and anti-gunners, so you can better understand them and deal with them in relative safety.

      More importantly, I will teach you what you may expect from your own reactions to stress. I will give you the basics so you can make your own decision on when and how to carry, transport and store your self-defense weapon in the home, at the range and in the field. I will show you how to devise a safe home defense plan that involves everyone in the family. Above all I will attempt to equip you with some rudimentary knowledge of some of the principles that are common to most areas laws. Remember, you must always check with a competent local attorney on any matter involving law.

      In order to give you an idea of the scope covered by this booklet, let’s start by trashing the words Firearms Safety. Like Military Intelligence and free lunch, there is no such thing. Firearms are neither dangerous nor safe; those words only have meaning when applied to the person that is using the firearm.

      If we consult the dictionary we find safety is defined as freeing ourselves from danger. We might better describe the carrying of a weapon as insurance, or the ability to deter or prevail over danger.

      A basic rule of safety in all of the firearm sports is Never load your firearm until you are ready to use it! As a personal defense weapon, an unloaded gun is worse than useless. Therefore, a whole new set of safety rules must be devised, and they must protect those on both ends of our guns.

      The Ten Commandments of safe gun handling are:

      1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

      2. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.

      3. Always make sure the firearm is unloaded and keep the action open except when actually hunting or preparing to shoot.

      4. Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions and you have the proper ammunition for the firearm you are carrying.

      5. Never point a firearm at anything you do not want to shoot. Avoid all horseplay with a firearm.

      6. Never shoot at a flat hard surface or water.

      7. Store firearms and ammunition separately.

      8. Avoid alcohol and other drugs before or during hunting or other uses of firearms.

      9. Never climb a fence, tree, or jump a ditch with a loaded firearm.

      10. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger.

      These time-tested rules were devised to reduce the number of common accidents in the various firearm sports. We will follow them where practical. They should serve us well at home and at the range. But for concealed carry I would like to add a couple commandments of my own.

      1. I will only draw my weapon in public, to save a human life, or prevent great bodily harm.
