VIDEO: What and Why I Carry

[PTMCCAIN]

I had a number of friends ask me about why kind of pistol I use for my EDC and made this video for them, also explaining my "take" on why I conceal carry, particularly given my profession.

What do you guys carry and why?

I get hassled by people for carrying concealed, and I wanted to try to explain it, as clearly as I could.

I tried Crossbreed and it just didn't' feel right, for me, the Galco does. I think it really comes down to what works best/feels best for you.

Yes, I follow Sootch, I'll have to check out Brother's Keeper too. Thanks for the tip.

Though I normally choose not to carry, your video was succinct and to the point, and presented a well-reasoned approach to the RKBA that is difficult to fault. Very nice job!

"RKBA" ... took me a second, but...got it.

I still think the best way to avoid being "hassled" about it is keep it to yourself.

I don't get hassled because it's concealed and I see no need to confess even when the discussion is about concealed carry. I can express my beliefs without announcing I'm carrying.

I'm with you surfer. I believe that talking about it is well intended but misguided.

I talk about carrying, RKBA, IDPA, gear, new stuff and anything gun related plenty of the time...especially on social networks where I also try to advertise my friends' local firearm related businesses. I discuss the merits, but never confess. If asked, I politely say that it isn't anyone's business but my own.

To the OP, I really don't want to offend you...but you posted a 9 minute video. Most folks that sit through that are going to be pro-carry themselves (I'm not one of them, especially 9 minutes with no actual shooting). It seems you're preaching to the choir. If you want to put something out there that people of opposing viewpoints may listen to, keep it under 2 minutes. Again, I'm not bashing you, I respect what you're trying to do. Just offering some constructive criticism from my viewpoint.

Thanks for the suggestion! Appreciate it.

Thanks for the supportive video Pastor! I was puzzled by your comment that you don't always carry your G26 with one in the chamber. That extra 3 seconds may cost you your life.

Thanks for watching and for the comment.

'You carry.' ok. 'Your choice of firearm'. Not mine to make. 'People bug you because you carry'. The answer I gave my dearest friend with 'those eyes' was, "Suppose some dumbass maniac comes into this restaurant and starts shooting the place up. How am I supposed to be 'da man' if I can't protect your ass and mine? Your not wanting to do anything with a firearm ain't no law -I- have to follow! It's MY life! I've survived this long, to give it up to some street thug, would be insanity on my part!"

I don't carry guns. I don't own any guns. That would be my video. However, I've read Crossbreed STD is very nice for a 1911 or Glock 30. Or, the Galco Stow-n-Go for a Glock 26. But, I don't know firsthand per the video I'd make.

Interesting.
