What is your concealed carry method?

[FatSlob]

Poll question: What is your concealed carry method?

Well, what is your carry method? Use your most typical, or favorite if you use multiple methods.

I typically carry IWB

[slackmaster]

1. Knapsack, fanny pack, bicycle luggage

If I'm in camp and use a weapon it's generally carried openly in a holster.

[TX-RAT]

35. Is California issuing CCWs, and do you have one.

[slackmaster]

37. Yes, no

And to head off the obvious line of criticism there are places and circumstances where a permit is not required.

[Endangered Specie]

2. In the front of my pants...

enhances the image you know ;).

[FatSlob]

4. Believe it or not, there is a holster made for that!

It is called "Thunderwear" or something like that. I'll try to find you a link when I get back to the office.

[Endangered Specie]

10. D__S beat you to it.

[Vladimir]

5. Do you use a silencer as well? n/t

[Endangered Specie]

6. hehe, Hey, its a lot cheaper than a sports car.

[-..__...]

7. You might find this of interest then.

8. ROTFL

its funny because its true...

[MrBenchley]

25. Yeah...there's the RKBA cause in all its dignity

and intellectual appeal (snicker)....

[Endangered Specie]

9. I guess it brings a whole new meaning to gun nut eh?

If only more of these nutjobs carried em this way... I forsee evolution in action.

[-..__...]

13. I guess it does have some practical use.

Now, if only they made it in a thong version...

[rkc3]

16. Two words - Explosive Castration

[Endangered Specie]

18. With any luck.

[FatSlob]

30. Shame, shame.

Don't be wishing harm upon others.:evilgrin:

[MrBenchley]

32. Too too funny....

How many posts have we had from the "pro gun democrats" openly gloating about plugging this or that person.

Besides, what are the odds one of these loonies in his pathetic underoos is going to be able to hit a target that small?

[Retired AF Dem]

50. At least you can breathe easier

I only know of three guys that could regularly hit saccharin size tablets from the draw and they have all passed on.

[MrBenchley]

52. Gee, and yet I don't need a gun to walk around in public....

Want me to tell you where you can stick your gun so it doesn't show?

[Retired AF Dem]

53. Now Now MrBenchley

Even CO thinks I need a gun for my job. One requirement of my job is to have a pistol license which is also a concealed license. Guess what I don't carry when I'm not working.

[MrBenchley]

54. If you ask me to guess what you don't got

we'll be here all day and night....

[Kierkegaard]

3. Shoulder harness

[slackmaster]

11. I have one of those for formal occasions

I got my new tuxedo jacket tailored to accommodate a 1911 pistol in a shoulder harness. It was fun communicating that requirement to the tailor. I was a little surprised that he'd heard it many times before and didn't make a big deal out of it.

[Endangered Specie]

12. I wonder who the other guys the tailor did the same thing for

say... Mobsters?

[FatSlob]

14. Nah, I've got one.

Usually bodyguards around here. Some Detectives do also. I think the Sheriff carries that way too.

[slackmaster]

17. I find it a lot more comfortable than most other methods

If you have to wear a @#$%^& jacket you might as well make the best of it.

[FatSlob]

29. I'm not too big a fan of it.

Mostly due to the draw. I much prefer strong side carry, IWB. I usually use "The Greatest Holster Ever" the Comp-Tac C-Tac. Almost undetectable.

[slackmaster]

15. Police officers, judges, private security people

Maybe an occasional mobster too. With some of the aforementioned the line between them and "mobsters" sometimes gets blurry.

[FatSlob]

31. Usually in New Jersey!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[-..__...]

20. Fashion faux pas.

Why would a mobster ruin the lines of a fine Italian silk suit with an unsightly "gat" bulge?

[slackmaster]

24. Good point

Real mobsters have gun molls.

[MrBenchley]

22. Ah, those trigger happy chums and their toys...

"it's unlikely that living in California I will ever be able to get a concealed handgun permit"

[enfield collector]

33. unless you're diane feinstien.

[MrBenchley]

34. I'd rather have Dianne Feinstein posting in this forum

at least we wouldn't be subjected to mindless horseshit from trigger-happy gumps.

38. Rather than alert this scurrilous accusation I'll address it directly

You don't need a permit to carry concealed when on private property or at a place of business. All you need is the permission of the owner, manager, proprietor, etc. It is also legal to have a concealed weapon when you are at a campsite.

I resent people making accusations like this in a public forum. I haven't and will not give you complete information about the circumstances in which I have carried a concealed weapon, and any probing on your part in that direction would be highly personal and inappropriate.

41. "I resent people making accusations like this in a public forum"

Ah, what did Robert Benchley say on the subject?

[TX-RAT]

42. I resent people making accusations like this in a public forum

And i resent people making accusations about Police Officers and Judges in a public forum.

[MrBenchley]

43. Wonder how many resent slurs against Democrats and right wing crap?

Our "pro gun democrats" don't seem to have anything but....

[Endangered Specie]

48. You could call them the Republican-wing...

of the Democratic party.

[slackmaster]

44. Gee TX-RAT, some of them ARE corrupt

That's a fact. I didn't say YOU are corrupt, I didn't say most of them or even many of them are corrupt, but some are. And I didn't accuse YOU of doing something illegal as you and someone else who got TWO posts on the same subject deleted did to me.

Deal with it.

[TX-RAT]

45. And some people do carry illegally, thats a fact

Deal with it.

[slackmaster]

46. There was no legitimate basis for accusing me of carrying illegally

I think you owe me an apology.

[TX-RAT]

47. Your right, that was unnecessary, I apologize.

Some times i just get tired of all the shots fired at LEO.

I have asked the Mods to delete that post.

[slackmaster]

51. You are a gentleman

A rare commodity around here. Thank you.

19. nothing better than ...

... my little Makarov in the front pocket of my jacket.

[Romulus]

21. IWB (usually)

When I travel to VA or PA.

When going backpacking I have a modified chest pack that is attached behind a North Face map holder.

[-..__...]

23. IWB

I know a couple of people who wear a photographers vest for CCW.

[Fescue4u]

26. Still trying to figure out the best way

I've got a .357 snubbie that I've been carrying in a pocket holster.

I like to carry my 1911's though as well, although I havent quite found an IWB that I like well enough yet.

[skippythwndrdog]

28. I went through a ton of IWB's for 1911's.

Never got one that suited me. My solution?


or



I still get the almost 1911 feel from the defender and I get 11 (10 in the mag + one up the pipe) from the 145. Both are .45ACP so I don't lose any power compared to the 1911.

[MrSandman]

49. I carry my p-220

IWB sometimes. Usually it is just a PPK/S IWB or shoulder holster under short tailed sweaters.

[skippythwndrdog]

27. Usually a K-Line crossdraw

Sometimes I go for the fanny pack. Especially in summer.

Watch out, guys. I'll soon be carrying everywhere. There's no one else on the ballot but me for Constable in my precinct. Constable is a qualified LEO in my state.

Hey! That means I can soon carry in CA, NJ, D.C., Chicago, etc. with no problems. Just gotta have my ID and a copy of my proof of being sworn.

I'm gonna enjoy this!

[TX-RAT]

55. When did you get your peace officer certification?

Or is it required in your state? In TX you have 2 years to complete your training after being elected, otherwise they pull your position. If you already have a commission it's unnecessary.
