Even pays to think through different places to carry backup, may happen to need a 'high line' carry if for some reason you can't reach your waist or pockets where your 'low line' primary carry and your backup most likely are.

Been thinking about a 'neck gun' my own self, there's a .22LR NAA mini revolver handy... used to be someone was making a nice Kydex neck holster for them, wonder if they still are?
Col. Cooper spoke of Carrying as being Comforting not Comfortable.
I get chided for thinking out of the box and my always citing things such as Improvise, Adapt, Overcome, quoting CRSam's One never knows..., and many other of my "traits".
Here is another quote a Mentor & Elder shared with me when I was a wee brat. One learns from mistakes - less expensive and painful if someone elses.
Primary Mission of Strategies and Tactics: "How you gonna Prevent best can, and if Serious Matters present themselves - How you gonna Survive?
Well it ain't cheating if it works, - called ingenuity. -Mentor & Elder.
High Line Carry:
Today we have more folks wearing Badges and USB Storage Drives (flashdives) around their necks. This assists in concealment a bit better from earlier times when folks did not.
NAA .22 Mini Revolvers , various knives come with laynard rings and allow one to wear around their necks.
"Why Steve, you are being paranoid, just silly".
One of my former employers, a Pilot, Plane crash, bad weather came up fast, he survived, badly burned below waist, passengers died.
He recovered , and it was a tense moment the first time he took off on his first flight after that accident. He had one knife around his neck, three more in that plane easily accessible, and ..."I / we could not reach a knife, could not cut the belts to save...always felt having a knife around neck...".
See, this is NOT just for ladies wearing dresses. skirts and having these pulled down, in sexual assault situations. These ideas are not just for some mugger taking one's pants away - and any and all defensive weapons.
The brain is "high line" at least the one Main defensive tool is "high line".
Having worked in a Main OR, I am quite familar with scrubs. State Reg's do not allow CCW in hospitals here. Still one has to arrive, and depart hospital. Not uncommon to do ADLs [activities of daily living] before and after. Activities such as running to grocery store, kids to and from school, ...just take note of whom is in Scrubs next time you are out.
Surgeons, Scrub Techs, Radiologists, Nurses, even Dental Assistants, and even your Vet and his Assistants.
Some scrubs have elastic waist bands, my ex was a nurse, hers did. she had nice pockets in the front as well.
Mine - top and bottom reversible, my bottoms had drawstrings -one right rear pocket in bottoms, one upper left pocket in top. Yes some folks , me included put stuff inside inside pocket..such as Me putting a NAA Mini Revolver in Scrub Top upper inside pocket.
I wore a T shirt (as per Hospital Regs) under my Scrub Top, not uncommon to get all messy in a OR and have to change scrubs. My ex was a Pediatric Nurse - kids get sick and one gets messy in a unit too.
I used, as did many others, a Belly Band. I mean getting off at midnight, having to go grocery shopping, perhaps just wanting to go out to eat after work at IHOP or somewhere, like "normal folks" do after work...1911, K frames or whatever real "comforting" at 1AM.
I know Carpenters and similar folks doing new construction and remodels...having "something" on person is a real good idea.
I also know Home Health Nurses, Sales Reps, Ladies doing Real Estate....well you get the idea.
It may NOT be a rapist, carjacker, or somesuch. One of my former classmates, a Scrub Tech, was using her sister's car, and was to pick her up Niece. Fairly new car, and why it caught on fire? It did. she pulled over to shoulder, gravel drive-way, and perhaps "bumpy" roads, air bag deployed.
She used her inexpensive Shrade Knife, on laynard, around her neck to "deflate" the bag, cut seat belt, get out, get into back seat and cut the seat belts to hold child safety seat. Car burned, child cried, all were safe.
"Steve, I kept thinking about my husband keeping a knife clipped his sun visor, there is no way I could have reached a visor with a air bag in the way...".
She wore hers with the idea of being attacked entering/ leaving hospital. Hubby kept one handy on visor just because it was an inexpensive gift and figured if out and someone needed a knife, or he was going to use a knife for something he did not want to use his "good one" for, like cutting a rubber hose...
Wives are - "persistent" in good ways. Hubby now puts a knife around his neck when driving, gets in the way as does his work badge, USB Flashdive, but Wife is a lot more "comfortable". He is too.
Something to think about, granted out the box, just the way I am.
Regards,
Steve
