No shit there I was, Central TX on Veterans Day getting my haircut.

He is HEAVILY PRINTING at the 3 with an IWB holster as the magazine well is sticking out like an impalement. Sad thing is I’m fairly certain I’m the only one who noticed. I’m rocking a 365 in my appendix T. rex arms Raptor (waiting to get a VELO5) with my zero belt. “Gray man” is oblivious to me as I’m rocking shorts, vans, and a normal T. Perhaps we need a vid on situational awareness, if there isn’t already one. P.S. more “gray man” content please! That shit is so funny.
I wear Altama Maritime Assault boots (the mid rise ones) because they look pretty much like Converse. Blue jeans and recently a leather bomber style jacket. Seems to work for me.
Yes, sadly too many bought into a grey man "uniform". Your dress was totally real grey man if you were not drawing attention and seemed a normal part of the crowd. Good job on situational awareness.
Summer carry is the main problem for most people, I wish you'd focused on that more. When it's hot out you can't have multiple layers or even heavy black t-shirts. My solution these days is deep concealment with a tiny firearm but of course the draw isn't fast nor smooth. It's a compromise though between going with or without.
Yup, owb during heavy clothing months for me. So easy to conceal with a jacket, hoodie, flannel, and it helps me with my stomach issues I get from appendix carrying. N I'm not fat in the slightest, just got some bitch ass intestines. 😂
Excellent common sense answers. Great job. I'm retired, so I can wear whatever I want, which in my case is always blue jeans, t shirt, loose fitting henley shirt. For my carry, either a 5 or 6 shot snub nose 38, which I find easier to conceal than a semi-auto. I always carry, usually aiwb, unless I'm someplace where it's illegal, such as a school.
Good video, the information you put out is top tier, Jeff. Tessa Booth made a similar video years ago for fabric choices. Cheers and good luck. If you must wear a fitted shirt, choose one with patterns, that tends to break up the outline of the gun.
Hi Jeff, great video. I always recommend your videos to people new to concealed carry. I think they’re very informative. One topic I would love for you to cover his how to properly carry appendix so that it is comfortable in a seated position. That’s an issue. I struggle with and I think a lot of other people do. Especially if you’re overweight. Most videos about proper holster adjustment demonstrate the holster while standing. The problem to me really is sitting. And sitting in different heights and angles like the difference between an office chair and sitting in your car. For many people, I know the reason they don’t carry regularly is because of this challenge. Keep up the good work.
The #1 thing I learn from your channel without you saying anything is how good a hoody is at concealing appendix carry. I start my conceal carry journey with IWB 3-4 O’clock, then bellyband holster, switch to pocket carry soon after. Now experimenting appendix carry and OWB cover with XL hoody.
I personally do the polo shirt in a suit look as much as possible. It's modern, chic, and the blazer (linen blazer during summer) hides everything you don't want others to see on you :D If I'm going the streetwear route, a black oversized t shirt tucked or untucked with a chain around the neck always works for me. The chain diverts the eyes from the waistline. During colder months I'm not worried at all sweaters, leather jackets etc. do the work. Any belt works tbh. Go designer belts if anything as it diverts the eyes from the holster clip if the shirt's tucked in. I stay away as much as possible from "the guy who carries" look. OD green, tan, tactical softshells, "tactical" jeans, hoodies with certain logos, certain types/brand of shoes all look like you're armed. Even plaid flannels, Hawaiians, Carhartt's are bit of a stretch too, though it depends on the overall silhouette.
Solid information. It took me a while to discover hoodies as a primary concealed carry garment, but now having several of a couple of different weights, they get me by 3/4 of the year. I still struggle in Summer because I'm not a big button down shirt guy, but good pants, belt, holster, and a wedge really help when I'm wearing t-shirts. I agree that a "full time carry" mentality is more efficient, but there can be exceptions. For instance, I'm retired and now a half-assed farmer, so most of the day at home, I'm in an OWB holster for comfort when doing chores, etc. (and of course don't care much about concealment). When I go to the city, I switch to clean clothes and AIWB carry, so even though I carry "full time", I still have to sort of deal with "part time" carry.
Tenicor knocked it out of the park with the Velo5. I wasn’t a fan of the Velo4, but the improvements are significant. It’s my new favorite holster for my full size PDP. I can carry that big gun under a t-shirt with comfort all day.
This is good "Gear Review Video". In my hood above the army and police 1 of 3 is carry, so printing is not a thing. But I do appreciate the principle of "concealed" and I picked few good tips
If u live in a state which has no restrictions on open carry, u don't have to worry about printing when choosing to carry concealed cuz the law basically says as long as u made a reasonable attempt to conceal the gun you're good.
People don’t worry about printing because of the law, we don’t want to print because we are concealing for a reason, we don’t want people to see or know we have a firearm.
@dc2014101 ever buy a new car and then drive down the road and realize how many others of that car u see? Everyone who doesn't have a gun, won't notice the printing. The only people who pickup the printing are your fellow carriers
Great video! I started carrying a pistol concealed when I deployed in the Air Force. I actually got decent at carrying the M9 in uniform, and it really forced me to adapt my gear to concealment. I had no idea what I was doing but using the serpa I've come to learn that angles really make a giant difference. I'm a bigger guy now, so appendix really isn't comfortable, but I think if one is going to hip carry, consider carrying a mag carrier to help even out your profile so you don't look lopsided. Alternatively my bare minimum carry is a S&W Model 10 IWB with two speed strips that fit perfect in the lighter pocket of jeans.
I'd like to see a video on conceal carrying when your shirt is tucked in. My job requires me to dress professionally, so that means either tucked in Polo on casual days or button up dress shirt when there will be clients on site. It also means that 5 out of the 7 days I am dressed like that. I also live in South Florida, so essentially continuous summer. I think this is the most challenging conceal carry case, since you can't wear heavy clothes to hide the gun.
For me, I conceal carry a p320 and I am in a similar situation since I wear just a button down shirt or a suit most days. I have a hybrid leather holster, I think the official name of it is 1781 custom fit holster (in size 5 or 6). Regardless, I have it modified to be in a cross draw position and the clip is close to where my belt buckle is. My belt is rather thick and the clip can hide reliability behind the overlap. The clip itself is like a L shape where there is a gap between where the clip mounts on the holster itself and the part where it clips to the belt. Anyways, I just tuck in the shirt in the gap. I do add stuff on occasionally with a vest or a blazer, but it works well otherwise. So, doing something similar might work for you. You could also look at getting a belly band, but idk a lot of it depends on your body shape and the size of the pistol.
I've gone back and forth between appendix and 2:3O OWB. Last couple years has been the 2:30 OWB with a Core Garrison belt and a high & tight to the body forward-canted holster - uually a Blackpoint Tactical OWB with a Sig X-Macro TacOps. It nestles under my ribs unobtrusively. A tactical style button-down with rolled up sleeves over a Underalls style power core t-shirt lets me go unbuttoned most of the time. It's gotten me through the last couple of summers. Cold weather requires a bit more creativity.
This was great!!! But how about hot environments like Southeast Texas. It is hot and humid for about 8 months of the year. Maybe, a video regarding hot environments and carrying bigger guns ( compact or full size)
I agree completely. As a fellow Texan, I can confirm that carying concealed is definitely more of a challenge in hot weather. Although it's still possible to conceal a full-size handgun, I normally switch to subcompact when I have to wear lighter, thinner, hot weather clothing. I gotta say, the Zero belt is deceptively effective! My first impression was that it was overpriced and too simple. After wearing it daily for over a year, I am a BELIEVER. It doesn't slip...at all... and adjustability is better than anything else I've found. The minimal material works perfectly for concealed carry in hot weather with any size gun I chose and fits better with thin clothes than any other belt I own.
I just commended the same thing that summer carry is usually the problem, especially when you're not built like Reacher. My solution these days is a tiny firearm and deep concealment, the draw isn't great but it's a compromise between going with or without.
I have multiple handguns with a variety of holsters for change of seasons and threat levels. Cross-draw, pocket, appendix, strong-side OWB or IWB. No shoulder or chest rigs.
I use an IWB holster but not in the waist of the pants all the time, sometimes just inside the belt. Depends on how tight the pants are. The belt is crucial, if you are just using sweat pants and relying on the string to hold it up, it can fall out when walking. It has happened to me, but I was on a walking path with no one around, so it didn't end up being an embarrassing moment- no one saw it. The belt clip on the holster needs something to grab.
When it gets hot in the summer, I cannot bring myself to wear stiffer pants, i almost always wear fabletics shorts. I found that the MasterMind tactical belt works well because its not actually attached to your pants. Of course, it helps to be in shape as well and not have a gut. It seems like your zero belt would work well for it too
If you wear cargo pants/shorts every day like I do, going up one size doesn't have much of an effect on overall fit. Cargo pants are generally loose fitting anyway. When I started to CC, I went from size 32 to 34 and it made very little difference. My pants neither look nor feel like they're too big for me, and carrying IWB got a lot more comfortable.
I live in the country. The threats I come across may not be man. I find conceal carry uncomfortable. Not to mention anything about suitable calibers for large mammals. I'll just keep my galco leather holster.
Winter is so easy. It’s the summer that’s hard. Especially if you live somewhere that gets to triple digits heat index often. You need light colored, light wearing clothes, which is the opposite of what you want for CC. I still haven’t found a good system for this.
How do you deal with needing to bend over with appendix carry? or sitting? I started carrying a G19 and it seems to press into my abdomen or pecker when I need to bend over to pick things up.
Urban Star jeans. They have just enough stretch to be comfortable no matter how i carry. Durable, too. I hurt clothing. Adult ADHD. These are still holding up afrer a couple years.
Undershirt cheap form fitting cotton that is never used as an overshirt. Shirt is going to get oil and carbon on it and after a number of washes will no longer come out clean so just throw it away. I use the vneck taggless Hanes
I had to change the type of clothing (not tactical) just 1 size up. But most importantly got a good belt and AIWB Tenicore Velo 4 with 2 T1 clips. Using it over 3 years EDC 365. I tried many other holsters none fit/feel as comfortable as Tenicore. Im sure the Velo 5 is even better.
Appreciate the support. 🤙For most people, the VELO5 will fit better. If you've been running your 365 in a VELO4 for 3 years with no issues, you're probably good to stick with what you got.
Any plans on giving the zero belt a tiny bit of stretch in the future? It's already a lot more comfortable than traditional gun belts, but I don't think I'm the only one who gets a bit of discomfort in the hips and back after sitting down with it all day. While the Groove Life belts aren't meant for carrying a gun as they're quite thin, the material is pretty impressive with its vertical rigidity while still having a degree of stretch.
Thanks for dropping a comment. No plans for a stretchy belt. Stretch in your belt and good concealment are mutually exclusive. Some stretch in your pants is fine as long as you have a belt with structure.
Appendix carry would be ideal EXCEPT for the potential for muzzle sweeping the femoral artery, particularly when seated or transitioning to/from a seat, not to mention the draw.
Thanks for the comment. We addressed this concern in another video called, "Here's how I've not shot myself in 20+ years of carrying a gun". In that video we covered all things appendix carry. We'd argue AIWB is actually safer than carrying on the hip. 👀
I think thats why micros are so popular, because you dont have to think about all this "shit" so much. And if you dont want to mind anything about clothes that works for carry, pocket carry is the best.
Most sizes are out of stock at the moment. Your best bet is to sign up for email notifications on the product page in your size. You'll receive an email the moment we put your belt in stock. 🤙
I like POM. Put a strip of Talon grip down the side of it and you can draw it very quickly. Cheap enough that you can take it out in the back yard and practice with it and keep cycling the canisters so you always have a fresh one in your pocket.
New to conceal carry, but I am wondering if it’s necessary to carry full-time. Who can provide real statistics, something that can be confirmed, how many good guys with a gun actually stop a bad guy with a gun in the United States per year.
The funny thing is that nobody in the youtube guntuber world ever admits to carrying a cheap Chinese folder, yet most real people do. I just have to take Benchmade carriers with a grain of salt.
I don't care to flash a knife around to prove to strangers I got an expensive knife. I can abuse my Chinese knife and buy a new one without a sweat. We all use it to open mails anyways not like we are dropped in a rural jungle for survival. Your $200 and my $15 will go through everything during self defense.
Thanks for the feedback and question. An option for what? If you mean clothing suggestions, then the same rules apply for the most part. If you mean options for concealed carry other than appendix carry, then, yes we make an IWB holster called the CERTUM3. The CERTUM3 doesn't have the body contour and has much more cant adjustability in the clips to allow you to angle the gun on your hip exactly where you need it for optimal comfort and concealment. Check it out on our website Tenicor.com. 🤙
5:06 mind the clearance on your flannel during your drills. If you carry appendix wearing a fitted flannel and you fumble with your gun, you could die. Shop carefully.
We don't have any light bearing options for Walther yet. We likely will eventually. That being said, the Baldr will likely not be compatible with our universal light fit holsters.
First rule of retail…carry what you sell. Your website showed out of stock on practically every size of belt. Also, you don’t carry a Glock 23 holster…shame.
Great content. Only the example of the clothes it maybe better to have them on a hanger and a rack behind you. Again great content just move away from pile of clothes on a table.
Don't wear a pineapple print Hawaiian at least, if you know you know 😅 really awkward leason learned. Found out it's popular in certain "partner" swapping communities. West DSM nightlife is an interesting place 😂
Undershirt and hoody? Quite often shorts and a T-shirt are as heavy as I can go. While my lack of fitness (belly) eliminates AIW carry, my build, size and lack of fashion sense let’s me just wear a baggy T-shirt.
Doesn't like micro-adjustable belts yet looks for a perfect fit? LOL😅😅 Kore Essentials makes great EDC belts, leather AND nylon, with flexible steel cores. VERY comfortable!
I get you, I had thought from the eighties I would be carrying a toy unconcealed and three concealed ones, you don't know me Biden does that's why he is scared of guns, even my father was restricted from carrying we are just one of a kind

Thank you! Appreciate the support. 🤙
No shit there I was, Central TX on Veterans Day getting my haircut.
I walk in the greatclips…first person I notice? a HYPER GRAY MAN.
- tactical pants ✅
- salomon shoes ✅
- trucker hat ✅
- wearing shades indoors like a weirdo? ✅
- gruntstyle shirt ✅ (only diff between this dude and the one in your videos)
I assume he is carrying, and glance at his waist. He is HEAVILY PRINTING at the 3 with an IWB holster as the magazine well is sticking out like an impalement.
Sad thing is I’m fairly certain I’m the only one who noticed. I’m rocking a 365 in my appendix T. rex arms Raptor (waiting to get a VELO5) with my zero belt. “Gray man” is oblivious to me as I’m rocking shorts, vans, and a normal T.
Perhaps we need a vid on situational awareness, if there isn’t already one.
P.S. more “gray man” content please! That shit is so funny.
Love it! 🤣Noted. Appreciate the support. 🤙
I wear Altama Maritime Assault boots (the mid rise ones) because they look pretty much like Converse. Blue jeans and recently a leather bomber style jacket. Seems to work for me.
If you're in central Texas then there was probably 6 other people carrying that you didn't notice.
@@House_of_Zodd good possibility 👍🏾

Also, op, bodyguard 2.0 with the qvo holster.
For summer, get a wedge&claw and a subcompact gun @ appendix
Can still wear an undershirt and a loose t-shirt or button down. True to hoodie or jacket, but with a quality holster it isn’t really needed.
Excellent common sense answers. Great job. I'm retired, so I can wear whatever I want, which in my case is always blue jeans, t shirt, loose fitting henley shirt.

Pro tip. Use a dressing room and try clothing on with your edc prior to buying the wrong fitting shirt. Wow problem solved

2 words. Phlster Enigma. Kind of voids this whole "base your wardrobe around conceal carry" argument.
The Phlster Enigma is Gimmick on so many levels.
@@noHandle1776 Ive used it for the past 3 years so I can carry in sweatpants. You have no idea what you're even saying right now, kid.
@ far from a kid, 25 years carrying a Glock19, but I’m glad that holster works so well for you.
This was great!!!
But how about hot environments like Southeast Texas.
It is hot and humid for about 8 months of the year.
Maybe, a video regarding hot environments and carrying bigger guns ( compact or full size)
I carry a full size year round in a normal plane Jane white shirt. I sweat too much to wear a hoodie or flannel.
Baggy shirt is about your only real option. Stiff button ups in a tall size.
Light overshirts like linen. Loose tee shirts or tank tops. Light vests.
I agree completely. As a fellow Texan, I can confirm that carying concealed is definitely more of a challenge in hot weather. Although it's still possible to conceal a full-size handgun, I normally switch to subcompact when I have to wear lighter, thinner, hot weather clothing.

Stuff with patterns helps so much
I use an IWB holster but not in the waist of the pants all the time, sometimes just inside the belt. Depends on how tight the pants are.

I like the clothing that I normally wear. If you wear tacticool stuff, it just makes you stand out. The only thing you need is a reinforced gun belt
Also, not sure of your opinion of HK and their new CC9 but will you make an AIWB holster for it?
Yes.
A great gun belt and check pattern or plaid, box hem shirt for me. Usually have a t-shirt on between the firearm/gtfo knife and my body.
When it gets hot in the summer, I cannot bring myself to wear stiffer pants, i almost always wear fabletics shorts.

Plop the belly over lol
@@GluteusMaximus808 Or pressed in like in memory foam.😂
Urban Star jeans. They have just enough stretch to be comfortable no matter how i carry. Durable, too. I hurt clothing. Adult ADHD. These are still holding up afrer a couple years.
I found that Lee extreme motion pants work great for a low-cost option
With the sweats and shorts you could use a belly band. Better to switch to that than to not carry it and maybe need it.
Good advice with the shirts
Have you looked into or messed with the Comfort Concealment Belt for sweats or joggers? I am curious how effective that is.
Undershirt cheap form fitting cotton that is never used as an overshirt. Shirt is going to get oil and carbon on it and after a number of washes will no longer come out clean so just throw it away. I use the vneck taggless Hanes
It’s really pretty easy: good belt, IWB carry with a dark colored shirt.
I had to change the type of clothing (not tactical) just 1 size up. But most importantly got a good belt and AIWB Tenicore Velo 4 with 2 T1 clips. Using it over 3 years EDC 365. I tried many other holsters none fit/feel as comfortable as Tenicore. Im sure the Velo 5 is even better.
Appreciate the support. 🤙For most people, the VELO5 will fit better. If you've been running your 365 in a VELO4 for 3 years with no issues, you're probably good to stick with what you got.
@@tenicorusa Well Christmass is just around the corner.... Maybe my wife will get me the 5 wink wink. Love what you guys do keep up the great work.
I’m leaving California and looking to upgrade my concealed carry rig.
Any plans on giving the zero belt a tiny bit of stretch in the future? It's already a lot more comfortable than traditional gun belts, but I don't think I'm the only one who gets a bit of discomfort in the hips and back after sitting down with it all day. While the Groove Life belts aren't meant for carrying a gun as they're quite thin, the material is pretty impressive with its vertical rigidity while still having a degree of stretch.
Thanks for dropping a comment. No plans for a stretchy belt. Stretch in your belt and good concealment are mutually exclusive. Some stretch in your pants is fine as long as you have a belt with structure.
Do your jeans have a more “high rise” belt line for appendix carry? I find sitting to be uncomfortable with appendix carry.
High rise jeans are much more comfortable for sure especially when carrying.
Seiko Alpinist! Also heard the psa stack and a half mags are good
Appendix carry would be ideal EXCEPT for the potential for muzzle sweeping the femoral artery, particularly when seated or transitioning to/from a seat, not to mention the draw.
Thanks for the comment. We addressed this concern in another video called, "Here's how I've not shot myself in 20+ years of carrying a gun". In that video we covered all things appendix carry. We'd argue AIWB is actually safer than carrying on the hip. 👀
CZ P10 holster release date? 😃
We are allowed to give out release dates.
I think thats why micros are so popular, because you dont have to think about all this "shit" so much. And if you dont want to mind anything about clothes that works for carry, pocket carry is the best.
That black+brown zero belt looks great, I dont see it online, any chance yall are going to carry/stock it again?
The Dark Brown was a limited color run. It may come back eventually. Not sure when.
The ending was hilarious!
Glad you liked it. 🤙
Where are the zero belts???
Most sizes are out of stock at the moment. Your best bet is to sign up for email notifications on the product page in your size. You'll receive an email the moment we put your belt in stock. 🤙
In the summer I do a simple T-shirt in the winter now problem
Great video and channel! I didn’t notice a less lethal OC option among your everyday carry items. What is your opinion on carrying OC spray?
OC is an outstanding less lethal option. If I lived in an urban area, I would for sure carry it.
I like POM. Put a strip of Talon grip down the side of it and you can draw it very quickly. Cheap enough that you can take it out in the back yard and practice with it and keep cycling the canisters so you always have a fresh one in your pocket.
New to conceal carry, but I am wondering if it’s necessary to carry full-time. Who can provide real statistics, something that can be confirmed, how many good guys with a gun actually stop a bad guy with a gun in the United States per year.
Do you buckle your seat belt every time you drive your car?
The funny thing is that nobody in the youtube guntuber world ever admits to carrying a cheap Chinese folder, yet most real people do. I just have to take Benchmade carriers with a grain of salt.
I carry a cheap S&W folder. Very useful and reliable.
I grabbed an izula, perfect edc
Some people care more than others. That’s the way of the world. Do you have top notch everything in your life? I don’t.
I don't care to flash a knife around to prove to strangers I got an expensive knife. I can abuse my Chinese knife and buy a new one without a sweat. We all use it to open mails anyways not like we are dropped in a rural jungle for survival. Your $200 and my $15 will go through everything during self defense.
after you lose a few good ones its not worth it
Basically undercover cop clothes
Arrowhead tactical for good concealed carry with joggers/sweats/shorts
Love youre video, but do you have an option, od´r an idea for people who have abit more of a belly? Would love to hear from you.
Thanks for the feedback and question.
An option for what? If you mean clothing suggestions, then the same rules apply for the most part.
If you mean options for concealed carry other than appendix carry, then, yes we make an IWB holster called the CERTUM3. The CERTUM3 doesn't have the body contour and has much more cant adjustability in the clips to allow you to angle the gun on your hip exactly where you need it for optimal comfort and concealment. Check it out on our website Tenicor.com. 🤙
Everyone where I live just wears a t shirt and hoodie
5:06 mind the clearance on your flannel during your drills. If you carry appendix wearing a fitted flannel and you fumble with your gun, you could die. Shop carefully.
Mine always gets holes in them and yeah I get it clothes are replaceable but it sucks with all this drop culture shirts
That’s not my gun that’s imprinting through my shirt😏😏😏
Right. It's your Fupa.
hey, question, i want to buy a velo5 for my walther pdp 3.5'', but i got the olight baldr mini mounted, do u have something for that??
We don't have any light bearing options for Walther yet. We likely will eventually. That being said, the Baldr will likely not be compatible with our universal light fit holsters.
@ which light will be compatible?
I’ve found no better shirt for concealing than a dickies or carhartt medium/tall large/tall
Whatever size you are but in the tall configuration
One sick puppy
The zero belts are awesome. All I wear now.
Appreciate the support. 🤙
First rule of retail…carry what you sell. Your website showed out of stock on practically every size of belt. Also, you don’t carry a Glock 23 holster…shame.
Need that brown zero belt 👀
can you or somebody point me to a company than can mold a kydex holster for an HK VP9 sk with a TL-R 4 attachment?!
Thanks for a comment. If you are serious, the right answer is to get rid of that TLR-4.
@ well that sucks 😆
@ thanks for the comment
Pro-teq custom gear.
Great content. Only the example of the clothes it maybe better to have them on a hanger and a rack behind you. Again great content just move away from pile of clothes on a table.
If I wore a Hawaiian shirt in Iowa, everyone would look at me four times.
Don't wear a pineapple print Hawaiian at least, if you know you know 😅 really awkward leason learned. Found out it's popular in certain "partner" swapping communities. West DSM nightlife is an interesting place 😂
I live in Southeast Florida. 99% of the time i'm in a T shirt and shorts.
What was the name of your straight blade?
The Rat by HeadHunter Blades. 🤙
Undershirt and hoody? Quite often shorts and a T-shirt are as heavy as I can go. While my lack of fitness (belly) eliminates AIW carry, my build, size and lack of fashion sense let’s me just wear a baggy T-shirt.
😂
Please show me something for those of us in hot and humid weather!! I’m tired of all the longseeleves and sweatshirt videos. 😂
With that clothes we always gonna look like a suspect
7:15 when wearing light colored shirts wear black undershirts
Doesn't like micro-adjustable belts yet looks for a perfect fit? LOL😅😅
Kore Essentials makes great EDC belts, leather AND nylon, with flexible steel cores. VERY comfortable!
Nice video
Thanks! Appreciate the support. 🤙
Gotta be a real dork to wake up and put a gun in your pants and then sit around the house
I get you, I had thought from the eighties I would be carrying a toy unconcealed and three concealed ones, you don't know me Biden does that's why he is scared of guns, even my father was restricted from carrying we are just one of a kind
5-11 Stryke pants, baby
Disregard...I had 2 rewind 3 times. I found it. 😂
haha i absolutely pay attention to my clothes, maybe too much
nice man!
christ is lord.
Jesus Christ is LORD
Arrowhead has a decent solution for sweatpants carry!
