The Confident Carry Quick-Start Guide for Women Beginners is a comprehensive educational resource focused on helping women build clarity, confidence, and consistency around concealed carry and personal safety. Rather than presenting carrying as a single decision or product choice, this guide approaches it as a practical, sustainable lifestyle skill.
Written by Anna Taylor, a women-focused certified firearms instructor with over 12 years of experience, the guide draws from real-world training, competition, and instruction to address the unique considerations women face when carrying in everyday life.
Topics explored include:
• Holster awareness and carry solutions that account for women’s bodies, clothing, and daily routines
• Practical style and concealment considerations that support carry without requiring a complete wardrobe change
• Situational awareness and safety habits applicable in both armed and unarmed contexts
• Training concepts that build confidence progressively through repetition and informed practice
• Legal considerations and mindset foundations relevant to responsible ownership
• The use of voice as a personal safety tool, including boundary setting and verbal commands
• Integrating fashion, function, and concealment in a way that supports consistency and comfort
The guide spans approximately 100 pages and includes integrated journal and reflection sections designed to support learning, self-assessment, and skill development over time.
Throughout the guide, real-world examples and reflective exercises are used to help readers apply concepts in a way that feels realistic and attainable. The tone is instructional and supportive, informed by experience as a firearms instructor, competitor, business owner, and parent.
This resource is intended for women who are new to firearms, returning to carry after time away, or seeking a clearer, more structured approach than generic or one-size-fits-all advice. Its purpose is to help women understand their role in personal safety and develop the confidence that comes from preparation and informed decision-making.
