Pocket carry is quite popular and has a number of substantial advantages: Notably, you can pre-emptively acquire a grip on the gun and look like a dude that just has his hand in his pocket.

I am a life-long multi tool junkie and I came to the conclusion long ago that a multi tool is an essential element of preparedness. If you don’t carry one on your person you should at least have one in your go bag. As a teenager I acquired the original Leatherman. I have owned some... Continue Reading →
I was a guest on the CCX2 show again and we had an excellent discussion on lethal force related to civil unrest and riots, as well as a good discussion on alternate forms of carry while exercising, and a number of other topics. If interested, check it out Here.
