Question Conceal Carry

Anyone carry a concealed pistol/revolver? I have my ccw permit and was thinking of good places to have one concealed. Or alternatively make something.

A very good place is..........on your body.

It is like AMEX...never leave home (or car) without it........since you went thru with the effort to get the license in the first place.

There are a few threads about this I think. IIRC there aren't a lot of options besides sticking the gun in a door/console/glovebox or bolting a formed ABS holster onto a somewhere panel.

If other options are out there I guess people are keeping to themselves so no one steals theirs.

edit - I didn't think about carrying on you, I'm not in a position where I can do that most of the time so I just assumed in the 4Runner.

Just be aware of your state laws. In Ohio, you must have it on your person, you can't conceal it in the vehicle. I use a belly pouch which allows you to quickly take it off and leave it behind. (If you leave it behind, throw a quick tripper lock on and make sure it's not visible). It's also the only way I can find to conceal carry in the summer with light clothing. I don't carry anything less than a 38 special, 380's are useless IMHO :-).
Best regards,
Doug

I also never leave home without it. I found it to be the most comfortable OWB with a cover garmet but I also use CrossBreed Holsters IWB which are pretty comfortable also and cover easily with just a t-shirt. I carry a M&P 9c or a LCP when I want something lighter.

Personally, a Glock 26 in a Crossbreed Supertuck.

If you would like to have it readily available in your vehicle but cannot carry it the best solution I've seen is to mount a paddle holster to the drivers side of the center console. However, DO NOT leave it there when you exit the vehicle, it's in plain sight and not very secure.

Also, I've heard of people getting slim lock boxes and bolting them to the floor under the seats. You won't be able to get to it very easily though.

I carry a lot of the time. I made a custom holster that sits down in the drivers side door pocket that I can drop my pistol in if I'm traveling. Having the gun in an IWB holster for long trips can wear my hip out.

Glock 19 in either a Milt Sparks or Bulman IWB or OWB holster(s). Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P's JHP.

Bedside pistol is a Sig P220 .45ACP. Speer Gold Dot 230gr JHP.

Both pistols have night sights.

Always carry a super bright flashlight at night and have one ready at the bedside.

NEVER... leave a gun in a vehicle unless it's in a fool-proof, locked and bolted safe!

Where do you guys live that you NEED to carry???

I'm NOT against anyone carrying...But I'm glad I don't live in an area where I feel so threatened that I need a weapon to protect myself and my family. I use to when I lived in NY....so I moved to NH...Laws here in NH are pretty lax compared to NY, but Never felt threatened enough.

These threads always boggle my mind, I can't believe people walk around with handguns everyday. Up here the checklist out the front door is Smartphone, keys, wallet. It's just so odd to imagine people need to carry guns around like it's the Wild West.

Have any of you guys ever needed the guns you carry?

Serious question, I'm curious.

My daily carry is a DAO 220. It's my favorite gun I've ever owned.

They don't need. They want, and in America they have that right.

My father was at one point one of the nation's largest private firearm collectors. He was also a lifelong cop, swat team, FBI sniper trained. Retired, moved to MT; realized he didn't like doing nothing... started working part time deputy. Ran for Sheriff, won. Just won re-election last November. I personally own a very nice collection of antiques and not antique firearms. Many items, including a Revolutionary War Brown Bess Smooth Bore Musket, an Original Colt Peacemaker, as well as several umberto reproductions (to actually shoot, you won't risk an original peacemaker).
I have and own many handguns. I have an original 1911A Colt 45; one of the most fantastic firearms ever produced.


So I hope this gives what I am about to say some cred. I have never considered carrying a firearm full time. I am from TN and do not have a carry permit, never got around to it. Moved to D.C., and have several of my pieces here (legally). It is now legal to own handguns in the city.
D.C. is a large city, with crime, like any large city. And I have never thought about being able to carry in my car.

To each their own. I know tons of people who love the power of it and those that legitimately want to protect themselves. It is a mindset. I don't care if people do, growing up around guns, I am not fazed by them; like many. What does irritate me, however, is those certain people that are just complete *******s about it. As with anything else, the teenager in his parents bought fast car or the ******* hunter; put a loaded firearm in some peoples hands and they just become power crazy idiots.

Anyway. Be safe and be responsible. Never leave it in your car, and if you do, don't ***** when it gets stolen. Owning a firearm is a right AND A RESPONSIBILITY. It is your responsibility to ensure it is kept safe and secure.

Anyway. I am more attracted to firearms for the history of them. Probably like my father.

To be honest the area where I work has really gone done hill and there are A-hole people are all over the place. I would love nothing more than to not feel like I need to carry but when I personally have police friends that tell me I'd be a fool not to carry than I kinda take their word for it. My wife and I have considered moving but our home is worth much less than I could sell it for so we are kinda stuck.
