Training is very important, and selecting the best instructor should be a very important factor, when you will be carrying a concealed weapon everyday. Regardless of the number of days, or how long the training is, or how far away the training center is, it is very crucial to know the laws of the state of CA, and particularly knowing the laws when it comes down to self defense, and where you are not allowed to carry weapons, etc., rather than just demonstrating that you can shoot a gun at a range.
