THIS Photo Should Make you Cringe

This should make you cringe. You should see this photo and think, “STOP!”. Yet, I see dozzzens of people doing it on social platforms (and on the range) either because they don’t care, or because they have no idea they’re doing it. In this photo I am flagging myself. If you’re doing this on the way in or out of the holster then you are putting yourself at risk. Holstering a loaded gun is likely one of the most dangerous things you are going to be doing on a regular basis as a concealed carrier. It is important to do so as safely as possible.

Tomorrow I’m going to share a bit more on what it looks like to safely holster...because this certainly ain’t it.
