The Caribbean CCW Holder and Carnival.

As Carnival approaches in Trinidad and Tobago the atmosphere is ripe with revelry and celebration. The sun, soca and sweetness culminate into euphoria. A type of unrestricted, but civilized frenzy encapsulates the Caribbean spirit. Any person who has experienced this phenomenon will surely testify that it is an experience like no other.

The history of carnival began centuries ago when African slaves celebrated by mimicking their slave masters through song and dance. Over the centuries the celebration has evolved with the introduction of different and new genres of music like calypso, extempo and Soca, as well as the birth of linguistic terms such as “playing mas” and fete. Revelers have substituted their more conservative attire for bikinis and shorts. The evolution of the celebration has indeed become revealing. But what does this mean for the CCW holder in the Caribbean.

For such a person in the Caribbean the question of when, where and how to carry during carnival whilst playing mas presents itself with a unique set of circumstances. This has become a topic of discussion and debate among firearms owners, instructors, enthusiasts and members of the public. let’s be honest, no one both local and visiting would want to come face to muzzle with a firearm during their carnival celebrations. So, the question is, how can this be mitigated?

Every firearm holder no matter where they are in the world should firstly make themselves familiar with the relevant laws. In this instance the Carnival regulations should be included. This should be used as the initial guide. Although knowledge of the laws are necessary it should be supported by quality, firearms training from reputable organizations. this training should be designed to prepare the end user for most situations inclusive of the carnival type environment.
