3:20 “Do I have a firearm? Maybe I do maybe I don’t, maybe I like vests” 😂 he’s the greatest
It's so funny
3:16 "Im just a guy who likes a vest." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:18 Too 😂😂😂😂😂
yup hahaha
I ran that part back to show my friend 😂😂😂
My Mom: "Why are you wearing a vest? You're 21."
Me: "Well maybe I'm just a guy who likes a vest."
“Who are you, Aladdin?”
Sounds like a line from super bad
A man's purse, because sometimes even cargo pants don't have enough pockets
@@cdgonepotatoes4219 its called a SATCHEL. MOOOM
Me: "Why are you wearing a thong? You're 50."
Zing!
Post failed mugging interview: Mr. Miculek, please give me the details of the encounter. He demanded my wallet, first shot on target was about a 1.27 with .16 to .18 splits 'till he dropped.
Jerry is so fast with his finger, the ATF made Jerry get a machine gun tax stamp on his finger.
Love it
@@danielaramburo7648 his finger us so fast it is being used in litigation concerning bump stocks.
@@dougdouglass1248 the bump stock debacle is going to look like a fucking joke compared to what's coming down the pipe.
Too bad because he's open carrying they see the gun and just come up behind him and sucker punch him and take all his stuff from his knocked out body on the ground.thats real life.
Jerry: walks out with a vest, helmet, 50 bmg, ar, and pistol
“Hey what you got there”!
Jerry: “oh just an umbrella”
And a Vector and another mp on his back :))))
Legend has it someone watched this video in Los Angeles and they're still in the hospital. Stupidity overload.
I’m getting a holster that carries a Jerry Miculek
Sounds like a chuck norris fact
That's funny, lol
Underrated af
Jerry Miculek vs Chuck Norris. Who will win?
😂😂😂😂 even tho other people say underrated lol this is funny
I love that Jerry is a rational gun owner AND amazing at shooting.
Indeed, he is a very good example of responsible gun owner. More open carry fanatics should follow his example.
He is an amazing human bieng and I hope he lives forever
6thMessenger typically that goes hand in hand
I find most rational gun owners appreciate the right to choose open carry but would rather conceal carry. If shit goes down, the first person shot would probably be the one with a rifle on their back.
6thMessenger And he has a great sense of humor......just a great all around package...
“You can take this holster from me with little to no effort.”
Sure, so is that before or after I hear the beep?
If you hear the beep it's too late
Robber: Give me your wallet!
Jerry's timer: *beep*
brocc-o YOU DOGe, I give you 👍👍👍 for the best comment I've seen here!!! Cheers mate🤣
Hahah you hear that beep and you know you're fucked. Reminds me of the equalizer movies every time Denzel Washington starts his watch.
You'll probably never even hear the HEY-OOO
Matches Where do you think the equalizer movie got that idea from
That’s funny!
I don't always open carry but when I do I open carry with a 50 BMG
let me guess your backup is a Desert eagle?
Weaponkid nah a bit more discreet. X frame 460 Magnum.

or as absolutly untrained shooter if I found 5 minutes a gun before in a corner on the street but saw enough gunvideos... I think Im faster by my wriststrength 8n closed distance and the caliber not to high.

Open Carry, Concealed carry, doesn't matter. This is the last man I would ever want to have draw on me.
I'd rather face up against Jerry concealed carrying than the Cisco Kid with his single actions and speed draw rigs.
"You can take this holster from me without any effort".
Yeah Jerry, I think I'll skip. I'm afraid .5 seconds before I grab it I'll hear a beep.
That is a good one. LOL.
Nah... If I see Jerry Miculek in public I'll know he's carrying!
And whomever gives him trouble will have 12 holes in them before they hit the ground... from a 6 shot revolver lol
Truuuuu
Trevor Anderson be careful when using the USMC emblem if you plan on posting videos, the government doesn’t like it.
Jerry so fast he doesn't need to carry. He can open his safe and get a "striker-fired" bodyguard shot on target, back at the grocery store, in 1.1 seconds
Another thing he’ll do is just mag dump about nineteen 33 round glock mags in 0.00000001 seconds then be like wait he can be new steel to shoot
Every gun owner should strive to be more like Jerry or Hickock45
Calm Rational wholesome full of genuine practical advice and wisdom.
Not the "gun nut" which is obsessive and full of spite and negativity
and has infinite amounts of awful unwanted advice.
I agree these two guys should be the face of firearm ownership in the US. Excellent fellas.
“ Gun nut” is a slur created by the anti-rights extremists to paint all gun owners as somehow unstable and less than human. It is used to demean people who own and carry firearms. It’s akin to someone calling a motorcycle enthusiast a biker nut, for the purpose of insulting them. Guess you have fallen for the propaganda. Also, Hickok has advocated for gun control, by way of a bump stock ban. You can have him, because we don’t want him.
Most gun owners are calm and down to earth, Some have shorter fuses than others ill give you that, and some are actually pretty insane people or full of hate, but most gun owners are good people and give respect when they are given respect, I've never met a gun owner with a piss poor attitude, I have however met anti gun people with very bad attitudes, And there are a lot of gun owners that might joke about shit when put in a bad confrontational situations like "5 more seconds and i woulda blown him away" but those are normally just jokes, And some are assholes pretty quickly if you don't show respect but are pretty nice if you are nice, But almost none of them are gonna be crazy "gun nuts" ready to pop shots into anyone that looks at them wrong.
Have you ever even seen this "Gun Nut" you talk about?
Tyler Bryan But bump stocks aren’t even useful to any good shooter. It teaches poor handling and lowers accuracy to a point where you can barley keep a good grouping. The way I see it is, If you are a new shooter, it will only teach you bad habits, and If you are an experienced shooter, it just wouldn’t be beneficial at all.
Jerry seems like he gives the best hugs I’d love to be his grandchild
Jerry you might as well open carry...we all know you're strapped
lol!!
I guess you didn’t get the point of the video.
Joshua Marcotte and you don’t get “jokes”. Alls right in the world.
He open carries his timer, that's enough to scare people away
@@marcotte6608 🛫😀🛬
M249 SAW is my concealed carry of choice but I have some pretty serious issues with printing.
How do you carry? Appendix IWB? I carry 3 o'clock IWB and it just drops right down the leg and is very concealed. Of course my M60 is a bit different. I also like my shoulder holster for my Barret .50 Cal. More of a backup though.
My concealed carry weapon of choice is a mini gun. Its not the easiest on my back and it does make me look pregnant, but it's still worth it.
It doesn't really matter if it prints. As long as people can't see the actual gun, you're fine.
just tell people you are happy to see them
PutOnAFlannel I love these types of comments
I've carried a weapon my entire adult life. You always learn something new or get great reinforcement in safety and common sense. Jerry, many thanks for your easy and friendly way of explaining things. All the best to you!
SEMPER FIDELIS!!
semper indifel
Jerry's "relatively quick" is faster than I can even get my hand to my gun, let alone draw it.
Concealed carry just seems smart don't it? I mean you don't reveal the cards in your hand until you need them, right?
That's why you open carry a fake gun while conceal carrying a real one. When they take the real one and point it at you, you shoot them and say they had intentions to kill you
Yeah, they never know i always bring my 20mm pistol
With open carry it makes it so that people don't need with you. Your gun can and will protect you even without you knowing.
Open carry has the same effect but can stop someone from wanting to commit knowing there is someone who will do something.
I open carry in texas, because its the same permit, and its easier to draw from, i use a double retention holster and my belt isnt coming off lol.
When in other states who have stricter gun laws i have only one conceal carry.
The best deterrent is sometimes the one people know of.
Why does the US and china not go to war, because they both know they have nukes.
If you open carry, you do have to be aware you make yourself a target, and you have to be more mindful of your surroundings
Tesla Haxz it’s holstered (strapped down) you cant just "take it"
Here is my opinion as a citizen & as a policeman on open or concealed carry.
1. In general public places conducting everyday work or travel I like concealed carry. What people don't know can be an asset in a crisis. Surprise can change the whole dynamics of a situation. I have heard that if the gun is openly visible it might deter a problem, and that it might no argument OR it could mean you are targeted first taking away your precious reaction time and tactic. After weighing both I still prefer concealed.
2. In rural settings I like open carry. Camping, Horseback riding etc.....open carry is more comfortable for long term wear, easier to access quickly and gear is more suited for open carry.
WHY I like open carry laws & concealed carry laws BOTH. Due to the very selected and often liberal enforcement of gun laws a person might find himself in conflict with an officer or laws. Example: An area has concealed carry but outlaws open carry. You think no problem you carry concealed only anyway. But one day your getting out of your car at the mall or store and for a few moments you don't have your jacket on and your gun is "open" by definition of the law. While most cops view this with common sense and move along another liberal cop see's open carry = illegal. Now your under arrest, gun seized and all kinds of legal issues. In the end you might win it but still undergo the hassle of it. With open & concealed laws this would not be an issue.
Now you might say "that wont happen". Well I didn't think so either, until it happened. I was a policeman in LAPD at the time also. After 45 minutes of hassle and interrogation and verification of ID after being detained for open display of a handgun I was sent on my way. But it was obvious that had I not been a policeman I would be on my way to jail. Very liberal beliefs in our law enforcement today.....you have to be careful. But it is just my opinion.
+Potato Gunn in what way are u offended idiot?
I think the "deterrent" argument only works when you are around a few other people who open carry. I would like to live in a society where most legal and responsible people open carry, unfortunately we don't seem to be there yet.
Wow is all i gotta say! Why are you even on this site? Oh i know why cause you think by watchin the fastest pro gunner your gunna be ??? Ur still an anti gunner!!! Get a life you dont decide AR rights!!! LAPD hahahahahaha

I was kinda slow 2.53 of the timer but once I got on target I just shot with .17 to .23 second splits until he dropped
Thank you Jerry for pointing out open carry/concealed pros and cons
Jerry is the best coach I have ever witnessed! His insight is golden!
Thomas D Harrell I love your brother Paul, him and Jerry should do a collab. It’d break RUclips I’m pretty sure.
Steven Cohen NOT BROTHERS!!!!
But probably kin!! Yep I love him too
He sure knows shootin irons
And NOT so much BS
Couldn't agree more Jerry it's all about the presentation.
It should be mandatory for everybody who carries to watch videos like this.
I'm watching his channel to prepare myself for ownership. At the end of the day, my weapon is my responsibility, and if I have to use it I need to make sure I am as safe as possible on doing so.
Thats not freedom. Nothing should be mandatory.

Jerry: I'm done why didn't it beep?
I'm so glad you made this video. I always conceal even if it's an open carry unless you're in the woods. Also the element of surprise is always better. Thanks Jerry for another valuable lesson.

Those sneaky left-handed samurai's had a leg up on the competition
alexoz Reminds me of how left-handed swordsman engaged in castle raids had an advantage over their right-handed allies in fighting up staircases.
aznmarty256 ah but left handed people couldn't be knights. They were considered to be the work of the devil.
He was actually talking about a sword in the scabard, If it's carried in the left hand you can draw it with your right, if it's in the right hand youvwould have to transfer it to your left first to draw.... I was confused at first myself but you can see him do the drawing motion when hes explaining it
Alex Oz IM LEFT HANDED!
Percentage of japanese left-handed people is higher than in western countries; still, even left-handed samurai would use the katana with the left hand on the lower end of the handle, sustaining the weight of the sword, and the right one just below the guard.
why am I watching this? I live in Australia.

Jerry I have to agree with you on every aspect of this awesome video. I have carried for 47 years and have come across every one of these incidents including the pocket carry.
the speed of that concealed carry draw has so much authority
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Maybe I just like vests." I love you, Jerry.
Thanks for the tips Jerry. I definitely need them. I just recently picked up my first hand gun for the purpose of concealed carry. It's great that you used the shield too because that's I got. I've practiced a little bit with it. Probably about 300 rounds through. Still getting the hang of firing given my family isn't that into guns so it's just a friend and I getting shooting. Thanks a ton! --Cameron
"accept that responsibility" wow that was refreshing. I haven't heard that sentiment out loud in many years...
I love the humor in the beginning, it's funny and makes a good point.
You make it clear that although you are not against open carry you believe that those that do need to take several important things into consideration before doing so. This is just sound advice from a grown up to a crowd that can be a bit childish with things.
Do I have a firearm? Maybe I do Maybe I don't... schrodingers gun
Did you shoot the cat? Or not?
cat maybe dead & or alive @ the same time!
Hahahahahaha 😉
Ahhh. The infamous schrodinger's gun.
I learnt about schrondinger from big bang theory
Jerry, Hickock, and Ian are the holy trinity of wholesome gun vidoes. They treat the guns as tools, with the respect and maturity they deserve.
If your only motivation for getting a gun is to walk around showing it to everyone in 7/11 while treating it like an expensive toy, you probably shouldn't own one.
this
only reason my bros carry em is because they live in the shits and are trappin. if ppl think you make too much dosh trappin they might want some, and wont be asking nicely.
You know this is great advice. I was a State Trooper for 26 years. I trained martial arts, especially jiujitsu for 30 years. I was a police combatives instructor. Open carry in public in most situations is not smart. I read an article as a young trooper about not wearing police identifiers in public. Changed my thinking. Jerry is spot on. Just wish I could shoot about a third of what he is capable of.
People like Jerry make the world a safer and better place.
John Jordan America must be really unsafe place to live. I mean Jesus fucking christ. What other developed country requires its citizens to carry weapons to feel safe? I certainly won’t feel truly free if I have to have a weapon to feel secure.
Cervelo R5 it’s not required at all tf you talking about
I mean... I feel safe without a firearm, it’s like a first aid kit. You feel fine without it, but in the very very slight off-chance that you need it and you don’t have it, you’re screwed.
@@haydenmoore3421 John said the guy w/ gun makes the world safer & better. Only in US, gun makes the country safer & better
@@inevahdie ??? You think law abiding citizens make the crime rate go up because law abiding citizens commit crimes or something? Nice logic.

Seeing someone with so many guns, man he is absolutely scared of nobody 😂😂 I have just joined your channel and I have to say l have a lot to learn. Love watching and learning. God bless from South Africa 🇿🇦
Gotta love the sound of that B-52 flying over & you didn't even have to edit or stop talking until it flew by because of the noise. Love the video!!!!
Jerry, you truly are a great spokesperson for the gun community. Thanks for what you do!
you had me at the intro. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO YOU, SIR! you are an excellent ambassador for our hobby / way of life.
Jerry your closing words said it all for me. We are ambassadors for our sport and non shooters potentially judge the whole shooting community by our actions. To bear arms is a right but it is also a responsibility and a golden opportunity to ensure that future generations can inherit our freedoms and our sport.
Your awesome man, truly.
We need more people like you in this world
One of the very best videos covering open and concealed carry I've ever seen! It's been over 10 minutes now and I'm still laughing at your trip to the corner store for a gallon of milk scenario.
Less than three minutes into this video, and it drips and oozes with rational, common sense knowledge that most citizens disregard, or have not the capacity to comprehend. Reality versus Dreamworld, Ego versus Responsibility. Fantastic public service video that educates, while supporting the basics of the Constitution. Protect and safeguard, by all means necessary…….
IMHO the most important function of a pocket holster is to keep your booger picker out of the trigger guard when you first grab the gun in your pocket. You have to draw the gun safely. A good pocket holster also keeps your firearm in a consistent position so that each draw is the same. Try grabbing a loose pistol 20 times out of your pocket after walking just a bit between draws and you will find out how often your draw gets messed up because the gun turns a bit this way or that.
A pocket holster also helps reduce printing and lint in the works. To paraphrase Jerry, get one!
“It draws a lot of attention to who I am”. Pretty sure most people who know even a little bit about firearms know this guy. Talk about a memorable face. Thanks for another good, informative video.
Thank You Jerry...!
"I'm just a guy who likes a vest..." Haha.. that's true though, misdirection is a self defense weapon too.
What I like about you Jerry is you always make sense.
He reminds me of my grand dad funny and brilliant even till his last days god bless this man
Any bad guys choosing Jerry as their next 'victim' would have a very very bad day.
as fast and accurate as he shoots a MOB of attackers would have a bad day ;)
Very bad day, even if they were a hundred yards away with an accurate rifle.

I've watched a few of your Target and speed shooting vids. However, this video enticed me to subscribe. Well done keep up the good work!👍🇺🇸
I love this guy! Always worth listening to.
His posturing lesson was what I've always thought but no ones ever known. Thank you Jerry
As always Jerry. Funny, smart, and just plain makes sense.
Excellent safety training video ty for sharing
Thanks Jerry. You are appreciated.
Great video. Personally I only conceal carry because I don't want anyone to know I am armed. Open carry you lose the element of surprise and as stated you really have to look out for your firearm.
Of what value is the element of surprise?
As a former cop, I can say I NEVER open carried off duty. If someone does want to make trouble, who in their right mind would want them to know they are armed? I'd sure like to conceal that fact until the need is there to have a weapon in hand.
Wow this is the smartest guy in the room thanks for your comment open carry seems like the worst idea it seems to defeat the whole purpose unless you just enjoy the extra attention
You think it would be common sense. If you're going to try to shoot as many people as possible, you just might start with the guy with a rifle strapped to his back.
haha that's what ive been thinking !
Well if I was a burglar I sure an hell know that I will NOT be robbing the guy with the open carry gun, instead I will try to rob the other guy next to him with the concealed gun. Yes either way I am screwed as a mugger but the difference is I tried robbing the conceal carrier because I thought he had no weapon where as the open carrier I said fuck that shit because I seen the gun. I do both depends where I am at, what I feel like and who is around. One thing I won't do is OC long guns but thats a different story, just make sure you don't fuck it up wither it be OC or CC you can still fuck up both.
Also a former cop. Never carried open off-duty. Actually used a .22 Sterling most of the time for off-duty and back-up. Never worried about the caliber since I HAD a gun and watched around me where I was.
You da best Jerry Miculek. You crack me up with your outlook on the truth. Makes so much sense.
This is the best video I've ever seen on how to be a responsible gun owner. Train and be courteous.
So refreshing to see a thoughtful and succinct presentation on open carry. Good on you
15 seconds in & I'm like "That's it I gotta sub" 😂
Gun grandpas is my favorite youtube genre now. Genuinely makes me calm the fuck down after a chaotic day of high school.
Thank you for sharing. You educated and reconfirmed that we must be aware of how to properly carry keeping good relations.
Jerry, you're the best!
I personally prefer concealed carry. I like to be the "gray man" and not draw unneeded attention to myself in public. I have no problem with open carry though. Not many people do it in my town - I'm in IN but a very liberal town near Chicago so the sight of a gun is sometimes alarming. I open carried once locally and a child said "LOOK MOM HES GOT A GUN!" Really loudly and the mother panicked and ran away with her child in tow, and it put everyone in the gas station on edge too. (Little brat should mind his own business). With concealed carry, no one knows I'm packing and I don't make a spectacle of myself. As I said though, I don't mind open carry. Unlike many, I take comfort in knowing there is another gun owner in the area should the SHTF somehow.
+A James Wilson Yep, my buddy and his dad used to open carry, until the day three police cars showed up while they were eating at a restaurant when one of the patrons called 911 for "two men with guns".
+A James Wilson Same here. I feel more comfortable being a 'gray man' in my neighbourhood. Ive come from Chicago, but now live in Wisconsin, and I feel at ease having my CCL, and just blending in with the crowd. At work, at the gas station, the grocery store, the shops, etc. On the other hand, I rarely open carry, and the only time ive ever "open carried" was momentarily in a restaurant but decided against and tucked it under my shirt. I, for one, don't want a "hey mom, look" situation, where it can end very badly.
I agree. If there is an incident where a CCW permit holder needs to use their weapon to defend themselves or those around them I think they would have a much better chance of success if the assailant did not know they were armed.
A James Wilson I share the exact same opinion, and also from Indiana brother South bend here
blame the dumbfucks from illinois who come here & dont know our laws. they create these unfortunate aggrivating situations for us law abinding hoosiers.
I will say that's the first time I've heard someone's pocket being described as a "hostile environment".
Excellent sane points. Thank you sir. As a retired coroner, I like to say, placement is critical.
Hahahaha...........love the "bit much" opening.....!! Great vids.....thanks.

Another Very Informative, Interesting And Great Video. *Jerry Miculek Is The Finest Example Of What The USA Is All About*
Be polite. That's a great message. How you present yourself reflects on all of us.
New subscriber.
This video was published in 2014. It is worth reposting this year.
Jerry, As a former LEO, you are spot-on when it comes to a thug attempting to grab your weapon if you open carry. That is something a lot of people do not consider. Many times during a scuffle with a suspect, they would attempt to go after our service revolvers.
I've open carried for years and never had someone so much as touch it. There is only one video of this ever happening on all of RUclips AND he was carrying in his back pocket. Can you show me some statistic about open carriers being targets of snatching? Police use retention because they are in scuffles pretty regularly, not something the average citizen has to worry about.
@Initfortheparking
The stupidity in this comment is overwhelming.
Personal Defense and Firearm Education 69 vs 2
I'm sorry, should I link you comments on Pro-Open-Carry videos that have hundreds of likes? I mean it isn't like the audience here is going to be biased or anything right? LMAO
But I also don't see you linking any of the evidence that I asked for. So mass ignorance doesn't trump facts. You know most people used to believe the world was flat too. Present evidence or your ignorance is just that.
@Randoplh W
Also... my comment was directed at Initfortheparking(aka saying his comment was stupid). So where is this 69 vs 2.
@Initfortheparking
Anyone who needs to link other's evidence instead of making good arguments based on logic is a fucking idiot.
Literally read your comments and dissect what type of person even thinks like this.
You need to read much much more literature on situational awareness and spend some range time on military ranges with actual combat veterans. The type of material you are absorbing is seriously bad for your long term tactical judgement.
Here is a simple way for someone of your simplicity to understand.
Violent career criminals are usually dozens of times more experienced at harming or killing people and getting away. Do you really want someone who has spent there entire life avoiding jail and death, while killing and maiming other humans for profit or fun to know you have a weapon BEFORE you know they are a threat?
If that is a bit too hard for you to comprehend then I am sorry I even tried.
Great points, I prefer open carry personally but I’m very careful and aware of my surroundings out in the public. As far as public perception goes, when people see me being a friendly and honorable person when I open carry, it shows people that folks that carry are not the evil vile creatures that the news would have you believe we are. However I do think that not everyone should open carry. If you are a jerk and have a bad or unfriendly personality, you should probably conceal because you ain’t helping the cause.
@@bthompson1767 I appreciate that bud, so are you :)
Thank you for this video, which answered my question about open carry. Because I'm 70 and female it occurred to me that someone might underestimate my agility and attempt to take my weapon. Concealed just seems the safer option in my situation.
" I got a pistol in my pocket, and yeah I'm pleased to see ya" :D lol Subbed
Always love your videos and knowledge and input. I have grown up through your career. Thank you
This is excellent, great teacher.
Thanks, Jerry! Great carry tips.
Well stated and very thoughtfully put. I have no issue with open carry at all, and preach for people's right to do so. I do think it's important for ALL those that carry that we support each other's rights rather than divide ourselves.
I open carry a lot (handguns) and I must say that a retention holster is a must. As Jerry said, without one someone can easily take it from you. I stand firm that open carrying is a huge crime deterrent, and many criminal interviews back that up but still, have a lockable retention holster when you go out in public.
I don't think a woman should carry in their purse. Lets face it, the majority of men are stronger than the majority of women and in a struggle for a purse, the man is going to win almost every time and a purse robbery is most common. So having your firearm in your purse is likely going to mean the criminal that just did a snatch and run is going to have your purse AND YOUR FIREARM now. Carry it on your body.
About ordinances, if your state has preemption laws for firearms, they nullify ordinances. If the STATE says it is legal to carry in say parks, and a city has an ordinance that says otherwise, it is not a legally binding ordinance because the state already ruled on it and the firearm preemption laws say that no local body of government may enact or enforce any ordinance regarding firearms that are more restrictive than the laws of the state. You can look up the exact wording and I suggest checking into your states laws.
I must end that if you open carry, that's fine. Just don't be a bad representation of firearm owners. Smile, be polite, open doors, chat with people, just put a good face on firearm owners. Pretend that you can change the world's image of firearm owners and be the best ambassador you can be.
Jerry walking towards the camera with a rifle and saying "everything has changed" was one of the most cinematic moments I've ever seen.
Some really great points. Thank you Jerry. A few things I havent seen.
God bless all here.
Texas is on the way to OC and I'm trying to figure out if I will or not. I'm leaning towards just continuing to conceal my handgun. I think the element of surprise is more important (to me) and also not having to worry about retaining my weapon.
I choose to conceal. Every now and then if the boys & I are going out shooting I will OC. But that's the only time. If someone is trying to harm me I don't want you to know I have until you have to find out.
That's what I'm saying bruh. I may OC carry only when I can't pull full swag mode concealed. Some outfits just won't let'cha conceal.
I don't want to be a distraction and i don't want to be distracted.
***** agreed. If they are on a mission instead of some random decision wreck havoc, then you get targeted first.
Some dudes like to use cops OC'n as a shining example. When it is fact their authority and position that is the deterrent instead of the weapon.
I carry a full sized 1911. Damn near impossible to conceal in the summer. I still won't OC. I'll keep a .380 in my pocket ir my wife will have it in a purse with an extra mag.
Bounce off chest hairs. ...
I love this video. I'm Pro 2nd Amendment but there is a point of common sense and considering your fellow human beings.
Daryl Black LOL, your funny
This is exactly what I was looking for and I didn't know it. I need older people to mentor me about how to be polite with a firearm. Not everything is obvious to me and I neednit spelled out. Great job!
Pocket holster for my J frame revolver has made it my go-to EDC. Cooler weather/jacket and bad area, then I'll use IWB SA w/more capacity.
