Understanding Constitutional Carry and Gun Safety with Nomad Tactical: Constitutional Carry Questions Answered

Gun ownership comes with great responsibility, and ensuring proper training is essential for safety and legal protection. In the latest episode of The Todd and Tony Show, we sit down with Dennis from Nomad Tactical to discuss gun safety, training, and the realities of constitutional carry.

Key Takeaways from the Conversation

• What is Constitutional Carry? Texas law allows eligible individuals to carry a firearm without a license, but there are important legal restrictions. Dennis explains why obtaining a license to carry (LTC) still provides significant legal protections and reciprocity in other states.

• Training is Essential Many new gun owners believe that simply owning a firearm is enough for protection. However, Dennis emphasizes that proper training is crucial, as under stress, you revert to your training level. Private instruction allows for skill development, from safe handling to drawing techniques and situational awareness.

• Choosing the Right Firearm A common mistake among new gun owners is selecting the wrong firearm. Smaller guns may seem convenient, but they often have more recoil and are harder to control. Dennis walks through how to choose a firearm based on hand size, purpose, and comfort.

• Home and RV Protection Strategies Whether protecting your home or traveling in an RV, Dennis shares essential safety measures. He explains why a shotgun may be a better home defense weapon than a handgun due to its reduced risk of over-penetration.

• Situational Awareness and Self-Defense Gun ownership isn't just about shooting—it’s about awareness. Dennis covers strategies for staying alert in public spaces, such as parking lots, and the importance of understanding when (and when not) to use a firearm.

• The Importance of Proper Storage Keeping a firearm secure is a major responsibility, especially with children in the home. Dennis advises on gun safes, vehicle storage, and how to reduce the risk of firearm theft.

• Training for Real-World Scenarios Nomad Tactical offers specialized training, including night shooting, close-quarters defense, and malfunction drills. Dennis demonstrates how training under real-world conditions improves preparedness.
