Work Smarter, Not Harder: Concealed Carry in the Workplace

Police frequently state that they cannot be held responsible for your security. I take the security of my family seriously and choose not to leave that security to chance. Besides criminals, we have wild animals in the country. I live in the country and work in the city. So, it saddens you to see my family safe? I don't live my life behind locked doors. Would you also deny hired security for politicians and movie stars, or are they special?

 

Nope, got it down. You'll never see it. A Remora ankle holster with cowboy boots is undetectable. The 290 in pocket holster is the same. In cargo pants you can't see it. Sneaky Pete hides in plain sight. With something as small as a 290 or a Bersa, it looks like a cell phone holder.

 

I don't care if they shoot each other, but the mortality rate is just dismal. Chicago bangers are at 1:6. However the B-more bangers are 1:3 with some neighborhoods 1:2.

 

Just gotta sleep in the bathtub then.

Need a smaller mattress.

 

Actually the B-more bangers are using more shotguns which probably puts their mortality rate a bit higher. However, they have what's called the walk-up down pat.

 

My LCP in my front pocket looks like a wallet or case for my glasses. The pocket holster changes the shape of the bulge and smooths it out. Sometimes, I can put my hand in my pocket and be ready without alarming people or putting them in danger. (Convenience store in bad neighborhoods and similar situations) I typically carry my Kahr CW-9 IWB and it's undetectable even in shorts and a t shirt. I carry a higher capacity gun if I think I need it, but I'm not a cop and I just want to be able to get to safety. The 15 rounds of my Kahr with an extra magazine should be fine. I'm more apt to carry it if it is comfortable.

 

Well Texas is a shall-issue state so if that's where you are then you should be fine.

I always carry my 45ACP with me IWB.

CZ 97B.

 

I wear my 9mm Shield with a tshirt at 4 oclock and even my wife doesn't notice.

The only people who might notice are other people who carry and are trying to tell if others are carrying.

 

For the same reason one would choose to possess a first aid kit, spare tire, fire extinguisher, or insurance for health and home. Real life cannot be predicted, and is often not nice.

The world is a dangerous place, with some specific locations more so than others. This is a fact that has remained constant for as long as the human race has existed, if not even longer. Resources in the united states, as well as everywhere else, are quite finite, as well as insufficient for providing for everyone everywhere. Often the public must take care of itself, because outside assistance is simply not an option. For many the possibility of outside assistance is more an abstract concept of thought, rather than a physical possibility. It is no different in the nation of Australia.

 

It's called "PRINTING"

 

Agree ... but "imprinting" makes more sense so I use it.

 

At work I carry a Kahr PM9 in a holster I made from material acquired from Remora. I designed it to be a tuckable holster and to smooth edges over a larger area than the gun, and even with my shirt tucked you would be hard pressed to tell I am carrying. It is very comfortable and I have never had a problem with it dislodging. Most of my family and close friends have no idea I carry.

When I cycle and when in shorts in very hot weather I carry a NAA pug with laser sights (yep, they make them). A pop gun to be sure, but better than a stick. A good gun when concealment of anything larger is difficult.

 

I have not yet solved the problem of what to carry when jogging.

Cycling is easy. Then I can put the pistol either into the cargo pack on the back of the bike or I can wear it on my hip as usual.

We don't have an imprinting (aka printing) law in my state so my sleeveless sweatshirt over the holster works fine.

 

What to carry depends on what threat you might encounter. Feral dogs have been a problem near me. I made my own holster that securely retains my gun inside my shorts and I carry a 5" folder clipped in my shorts as backup to that and for other non-sd uses. Lots options... I make most of my own holsters for different applications... they aren't that difficult to make. I want to be able to access my gun quickly, not fumble looking for it.

 

Jogging is a difficult proposition. There is no truly superb setup. I like a lightweight weapon, like a Ruger LCR and use a non-brand fanny pack. Not fast, but effective but OK because of where I live.

 

So far I have been carrying just a jack knife.

 

I like Remora, not only because of the price, but it conceals easily. The problem with the Remora is retention.

 

If it were that bad here I would just use my shoulder holster under my sweatshirt.

But I don't want to get the shoulder holster all sweaty.

 

I like the Browning Black Label Backlash, BUT it is just barely legal if at all. It's just a small Fairburn-Sykes. It will still do the job in close, head-eyeball, under the chin or just in front of the ear or neck. Just think of it as extension of the fist.

 

If I can get that close my knife will work too.

 

But a snub is the best anti-ambush weapon in existence. It works to contact and it will conceal inside your hand. Just ask (if could Lee Harvey Oswald) Jack got to the most heavily guarded man in the world and put one into his gut that put his lights out. No one saw it coming.

 

Nobody can ambush me along my jogging route.

And if they did my jack knife would be plenty to kill them with.

 

I have never had a problem with retention, I have several, including one each for my HK 45c and my Springfield Micro Compact .45. You can easily attach your own belt clips if you want better retention. I recommend a ulticlip, on of the most secure, and stealthy I have seen and it can be set up to be tuckable.
On my G26, my LCP and my Kahr I have clipdraws. They work very well. However, I do not recommend them without something like a trigger block (triggerblok) to prevent accidental discharges. I made a very effective one for my Kahr and there is no delay in removing them on a draw. I installed a sliderlock on my G26 several years ago and it has worked well for me, though a triggerblok also worked before I got it. The Clipdraws work great for just slipping a gun in your wasteband when doing short trips to the store, they retain well. The only drawback is the gun is exposed to your sweat so frequent cleaning should be attended.

 

Jogging trails are choke points that predators use. But I suspect you're too ugly and not the right gender. ')

 

I don't run on jogging trails though.

I avoid those like the plague.

I run up a steep hill along the sidewalk next to a 5 lane roadway.
