My first concern was about line of fire when carrying IWB appendix...Still unnerving when I think about it, even more so when I read about ND when suiting up.
Minor nit pick. WallyWorld makes you pay for the ammo at the sporting goods counter. When distracted reading the back covers of DVDs or checking for cracked eggs, theft from your cart is a real possibility.
Why in the world would anyone want to carry a gun without a round in the chamber? That is the same as carrying an empty gun. If you doubt that and think you will have time to rack the slide in a SD situation, think again.
True. Since I started the concealed carry process. I find myself looking at other people for a "print" and just more observing my surroundings in general. I saw someone concealed carrying yesterday when I was getting lunch, and saw where it was located. But it was relatively easy to notice him. He was wearing a Glock fanboy T shirt. lol. I'm definitely going to work on looking at people better not as a paranoid thing. Just to improve my observation skills.It keeps coming up that people don't pay attention. And while that's usually true, It's not always true.
The trick is to carry, and not be spotted by those folks who have that keen situational awareness.
And then ultimately, to be one of those people who see the things that usually pass unnoticed.
Part of the responsibility that comes with being capable of your own defense, is being able to recognize the potential threats and assets that move around you.
I know I'm preaching to the choir, but sometimes those finer points are lost within the debate of "what", "where" and "how" to carry.
A good gun belt is something a lot of folks don't take into consideration.My biggest problem when I got my CCW was the weight of the gun. It kept pulling my pants down, not off, just down enough to be uncomfortable. The hazards of my butt moving to my gut. Been wearing suspenders ever since. Only problem with that is with an undershirt under the suspenders and a cover garment (shirt) it gets a little warm in the summer. I guess you young’uns don’t have that problem.
Why do so many who carry concealed worry so much about printing?
I have heard in some states the laws are such as if your gun is visible when carrying concealed you could be charged with brandishing but the gun has to be visible. I have never heard of a law where it was illegal to print, it's not the same as lifting your arms and the gun peeks out or your cover garment getting pushed to one side and the gun is fully visible. I have never heard of printing being a crime. Of course just because I never heard of it doesn't make it impossible. Can you tell me in which state is it illegal to print?ArchAngelCD said:
In some states, the antis got enough language into those laws to make it "illegal" to print. And many of those same antis will be the first one to scream in panic at somebody printing, making a public spectacle of everybody involved.
