I carry the Smith and Wesson Airweight .38 revolver. I use a pocket holster and carry it in my front pocket so that it does not print. I feel uneasy about carrying a semi-automatic for fear I might shoot myself. Revolvers won't shoot unless you really want to pull the trigger. I like the Airweight because it is light to carry, but the light frame makes for a nasty kick when fired.

However, for the CCL test, I always qualify with a semi-automatic so that I am not restricted to a revolver in case I ever do want to carry a semi.

The CCL class was actually pretty interesting. Not so much on handling guns, but on legal issues.

CZ P01 is a 9mm with de-cocker. Magazine holds 14. With one in the chamber and de-cocked you get 15 with a flick of the thumb and a manual cock.
CZ P07 Duty is a 40mm. with de-cocker and mag. cap. of 12.

From cz-usa web site:
CZ P-07 DUTY Don't let the "Duty" designation trick you. The P-07 model Is a compact sized handgun, just as appropriate for concealed carry as it is for uniformed duty. The abbreviated 3.8" barrel and compact grip allow the Duty to disappear under clothing much more easily than full sized models. This compact size and polymer frame along with the new slide profile (fully machined from bar stock) reduce weight, making the P-07 Duty a great choice for concealed carry. Easily adaptable to low light use, the Duty features an accessory rail to which a light or laser can be attached.

This is a very common worry. It goes away over time when you do the following, research your gun and learn how safe it is in various carry modes (some are safe in some conditions but not others), practice carrying around the house unloaded then loaded with snapcaps then fully loaded, get more training in safety and shooting, practice practice practice (dry fire and handling as well as shooting). I did all of those things and now I am 100% confident to carry my Kimber cocked and locked the way John Browning designed it to be carried.
