Every Day is a Good Day to Be Ready

Cajun Arms instructors guide students in building the mindset and skills for everyday readiness.

Every Day is a Good Day to Be Ready

CONCEALED CARRY PREPARATION

At Cajun Arms, we believe every day is an opportunity to reinforce your readiness. Recent events remind us that complacency is a luxury we cannot afford. Whether it’s a bombing attempt, a public altercation, or an unexpected threat in your community, you must be prepared to defend yourself and your loved ones.

Morning routines matter. I personally arm myself as I get dressed, adjusting my gear or clothing as needed to ensure a fast and effective carry. Today, I chose my Glock 19 in an outside-the-waistband holster for its higher round count and quicker draw compared to my Glock 43. I also carried two extra magazines and my flashlight, all ready to respond. Checking your vehicle’s blowout kits and keeping essentials close is part of living the mindset of readiness.

DON’T GET COMPLACENT

Many people assume danger is far away, but real-life events show it can appear anywhere, at any time. We can no longer ignore an abandoned backpack or assume someone acting strangely is harmless. You must remain vigilant and accountable for your own protection and the protection of those around you.

Preparation isn’t just about carrying a gun; it’s about training your mind and body to respond effectively under pressure. Basic concealed carry knowledge, such as that taught in Defensive Carry 1 at Cajun Arms, establishes the foundation. But higher-level threats demand more advanced skills. We encourage students to continue their education with Defensive Carry 2, Defensive Carry 3, and beyond, all the way to Defensive Carry 8.

TRAINING FOR COMPLEX SCENARIOS

Level 1 classes introduce controlled defensive scenarios, such as home defense or simple confrontations. But public settings, active shooter situations, and unpredictable social environments require advanced tactical thought processes. With higher-level training, you learn to:

• Move tactically in public areas while maintaining concealment

• Make rapid decisions under stress

• Engage threats while protecting innocents nearby

• Integrate tools like lights, multiple magazines, and communication devices effectively

Cajun Arms emphasizes practical skills and mental preparation. Students who immerse themselves in training learn to visualize real-life threats, creating muscle memory and situational awareness that can save lives. Your firearm is only as effective as the training and mindset supporting it.

MAKE EVERY DAY A TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

Carrying daily is not just about having your firearm on you—it’s about practicing routines, maintaining equipment, and refreshing your skills. Use downtime to simulate scenarios, check gear, and reinforce the mental discipline required to act decisively. Remember: every day you train, you improve your ability to respond when seconds count.
