CCW Stuff?
« on: October 06, 2010, 01:13:10 PM »
Getting ready to put together CCW tips for Season 3 of TBW and I thought I'd ask what you guys would like to see covered or what problem areas you'd like to see addressed!

Personally? My biggest issue is the tucked in shirt. How the heck can you carry wearing "business casual'? I'm sure there great ideas out there beyond pocket carry. I'd love to see them.
Thanks

A comparison of deployment times for the various modes of CCW (from first threat to first shot) might be helpful to folks that are looking at the advantages/disadvantages from one carry mode to another.

Choosing the proper gear for CCW (belt, holster, etc); for example: demonstrate why a 3/4" dress belt is a no-go for CCW.

Draw techniques from various CCW modes.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

How to carry all the "other" stuff, too--spare mag, light, phone, etc. and how not to flash/print while retrieving phone or wallet

How to deal with disarming discretely in the car if you HAVE to go into a no-carry area.

Holsters..........

What brands, types and carry modes. We all have a box of them. Would be nice for a new guy to get an ideal of the different modes of carry before he ends up like the rest of us. ;D

I would love to see some tips on carrying mid-size on up pistols and revolvers. A guy like me who can really only afford to own a couple pistols has to have versatility not only in caliber but also in size. I need something that I can take to the range and enjoy a good workout or shoot USPSA with as well as carry for defense. It might be easier for me to conceal larger pieces than others because of the OR climate, which primarily consists of rain 9 months of the year, but any sort of advice would help.

Tucked in shirt carry.
Concealed Carry at the lake/river/beach.
And two important ones that don't apply directly to me, but I'd still like to see.....
CCW for women.
CCW for the handicapped.
