More Women Seek Concealed Carry
In the past three years or so, Tom Englehart said he has seen a 60-70 percent increase in the number of women enrolling in his concealed carry classes. Englehart, and other Nebraska State Patrol-certified concealed carry instructors in the area, will teach some women-only courses. There are five in the city.
Part of concealed carry training is learning that a firearm is a last resort. But it could also be training for the worst day of your life, said Andrew McCleary, concealed carry instructor at Exodus Concealed Carry Training Center, which relocated in November to 510 N. Dewey St.
“Defensive shooting is not going to happen in a building with a bad guy in front of you,” McCleary said.
McCleary said he enjoys teaching all-women courses. His female students are more likely to be handling a handgun for the first time.
“They haven’t been shooting since they were this tall,” he said, gesturing at about thigh-height.
The fresh approach that all-women classes have is advantageous, he said. They’re not caught on habits from years of shooting, like an incorrect or inefficient grip. Englehart said women in his classes are usually more involved.
