Everything I carry in 2023-2024

If this is a carry method you have used, plan to use, or use for special occasions, then I would encourage you to give this article a look and objectively evaluate the pros and cons. It might be more trouble than it’s worth.

In this post I want to specifically address holster placement when carrying between 10-2 in a dress, and the potential for wedge use.

Whenever I’m shopping for dresses, I try to make an effort to select a very specific shape, that both flatters my body while allowing me to carry as I normally do.

I can’t remember the last time I wore a traditional belt.

Part of self defense is also realizing that YOU ARE WORTH DEFENDING.

Doing something that was so far out of my comfort zone, and turning it into a passion has shown me that I am capable of more than I realized.

I think the general distaste for leaving guns in the safe from time to time can come from a misunderstanding as to WHY it’s being left there, and I think that distinction is fairly important to note.

It’s one of those things that we can go through our entire life thinking, “it doesn’t really matter”….until the VERY moment that it matters.

Story Time: I had to draw my pepper spray this morning for the first time . . .

Why I don’t carry a weapon mounted light on my concealed carry gun . . .

Why is there a blue film around my primer on my defensive ammo?

The stakes are high here, and I personally believe it is our responsibility as concealed carriers to do the research and make wise decisions with our life saving gear . . .

Not only did it make my concealment subpar, but it also made me feel frumpy and less put together . . .

Customizing to YOUR body becomes a lot easier with at least a base level of knowledge on how and what makes concealment happen . . .

There is a difference between making a MISTAKE and being NEGLIGENT . . .

Patience and generosity will get you a lot further than meaningless confrontation . . .

I think both schools of thought get it wrong. Selecting a firearm for concealed carry is a highly personal decision that nobody else can make for you.

I often see off body carry being presented as an “easy solution.” I find that this stems from a gross misunderstanding of how to properly carry off body . . .

Why I made the switch from sidecar to an independent holster design.
