As a firefighter who has shown up to people shot in their homes, yards and cars... Who has seen people murdered with axes in their doorways or knifed in their garages, I can say that you never know when it is time. I can tell you that if I was in my kitchen and someone kicked in my door, I would not be able to make it to my bedroom before they intercepted me. The place for a defensive handgun is on your person or on your night stand by your bed. I bring my handgun into my bathroom when I shower. If I go into a building where I cannot carry like an airport terminal or a government building I lock it in my car in a place not obvious and put it right back on when I return. Gun free zones like stores that do not allow guns I completely disregard as it is not backed by laws. All that they can do is trespass you if you are caught carrying (which if you conceal correctly they never will). I am my brothers and sisters keepers and will always be on guard for others as I am myself.

Yes.. find a gun small enough and a holster comfortable enough that you pretty much forget it's there. A gun in your glove box does absolutely nothing for you when the shooting starts in the store or gas station. A gun on your nightstand does nothing for you when you are in your garage.

Thanks for this podcast. I watch and read anything Mas has to say, and have since the 80's. Pants on, gun on. My P365 is a natural part of my body now. Not the prime self defense sidearm, but it is there, always. I keep a spare 15 round mag handy, but would rather get to my stashed 12 ga. I feel like when the perp realizes he has lost the element of surprise, through seeing flashes of bright light, hearing loud bangs, and possibly catching some hot lead, he would quickly decide to retreat.
I started following this man years before the internet Read his books followed his teachings I carry my EDC from when I wake up until I go to sleep It’s big, it’s powerful and I trust it and my ability use it
Pants on gun on is a new phrase for me, I am glad that I have been doing this. My thought process was exactly how Massad described. If someone comes into my house, will I have time to get into the safe? No. Will I have time to draw it from my holster, yessir!
I don't know who the hell Polite Society Podcast is, but if you have Massad Ayoob on, I'm subscribing. Thanks for the good interview. Sending a link to my daughter now.
I have one with a holster that I can wear with my PJs...Still trying to convince my wife to learn to shoot and carry...Daughter is into armed self-defense which pleases me greatly...
I carry my Glock 42 unless I’m in the shower or if I’m fulfilling my marital duty. That is the only two exceptions I’m not armed. I have a 3 speed holster which allows me to deep conceal it for 40 hours a week and then pull it up into the appendix position every chance I can. The 42 is light and I can put 8 rounds in a fist sized group with either hand if I have to. Something like the 42 is what I believe most people need for program compliance and to shoot quickly and accurately with either or both hands.
I am a Glock fan and own three of them 19,21,30 but I love my Sig P365 for everyday carry. It is almost like not having one on me yet has 11 with one in the pipe.
When I first started carrying I carried at home for a few days to get used to it before carrying in public. Now it’s either on my person or within arm’s reach almost 100% of the time. Also we have feral hogs and coyotes, so keeping it on me while outside is imperative.
I actually do have one in every room. But all of them are housed in a speed safe that I lock when I leave and open when I return. All get locked at night with the exception of the one next to my bed to avoid an invader finding it and using it against me. I have one that is not locked but well out of the reach of any child in my kitchen. I wish they made a small version of the speed safe for smaller weapons, it's a LCP II .380. Maybe I'll find one for it. I run through scenarios from time to time to prepare for and intruder from either the front door or back door. Massad always has good advice and I like listening to it.
I live in the Republic of America. Of course I have one in each room. I don't want to run to get my defense weapon. Do you? Or do you just wait freightenly on the call to 911 hoping the police who many want defunded, to respond to your feable plea?

@@BatCaveOz Hey, you're being rude to a lot of people that choose to take their self defense more seriously than you do. How about you take your naive old ass out of here or just be quiet.
When at home, I CARRY my backup with a reload. My full-size sidearm that I routinely WEAR is no more than arm-length away. Showering/bathing is when most people are most vulnerable. When I do so, I lock the door. No more than arm-length away is my full-size sidearm, cell phone, tac light, folding knife, and trousers.
When he mentioned the bathroom, I smiled. I was actually in the bathroom watching this, but I have what I affectionately call my 'shitter Glock'. It's a Glock 17 that lives in a hidden compartment in my bathroom, with two high capacity magazines. If someone kicks in the door while I'm on the shitter, it's going to be a bad day for them. 😁👍
Shoulder holster could be a comfortable option for the home Easy to take a leak, sit at the table, doing chores around the house, or lay on the couch and relax Thoughts?
Mas I have been trying to find a credible reason to carry in my house, because alot of people will laugh. You have given me a terrific answer to home carry. I have firearms every 10 ala clint smith. If I take your advise, I won't need all those guns if I have one on me. thank you Mas
I'm kinda bashful to admit it, but I even take my gun to the bathroom with me. Not that I'm so insecure that I'm scared to go to the johnny without it. It's just that while I'm isolated in there, I'd hate to get caught with my drawers down.
He is the MAN I went to the Police Academy in 1979 retired in 2006 he is so right about females and guns. I have taught a lot of women to shoot but if they can’t answer that they will use the firearm if needed to STOP the bad guy. Back in the old days kill. I will not train them. Because I don’t want their firearm used on them. Firearms are a lethal weapon not a scare technique.
One man I knew who taught CCW classes. said that a woman who never shot before or had limited experience.could take just a small amount of instruction.and often match or beat many of the males.who said they had been shooting for years and shot often.
@@BatCaveOz you need to reread @mikechampion's again. The instructor said the ladies could take a small amount of training. A person doesn't need hundreds of hours to learn basic firearm safety.
My wife asked me why I carry a gun at home. I said the Decepticons. She laughed. I laughed. The toaster laughed. I shot the toaster. It was a good time.
Who was it that said "better to have the advice and not need it, than to need the advice and not have it?" Also, if "you are a nudist" without a shoulder holster would it be considered a pee shooter?
My Mom taught me how to shoot. She even out shot a police officer with his own pistol. She was at the armory shooting her 22 rifle when one of the city cops came in and started talking to her. Asked if she ever fired a revolver before. ( she hadn’t) He proceeded to show her how and fired his 6 shots at the target. Reloaded and then let her try. She put 5 of 6 in the 10 ring. He suddenly had to get going and left. 😀😀😀😀
as a blind ccw holder and hunter, I feel naked without a gun at home or on the road. Pants on, gun on times two is how I have run for years. Two guns are better than one if you are using a cane as one hand is busy. Strike, block and shoot CQC is my defensive formula.
A little late but I have wrestled with keeping guns throughout my home. I don't because I have neices and nephews that come over and I don't want to have to try to remember to secure firearms then put them back, etc. I keep almost all of my firearms secured except the one I'm carrying and maybe one more that is hidden in a high enough place that I can reach but kids can't. Just my 2 cents.
Infrared doorbell positioned in the driveway. Security system with backup power turned on. Doors locked. My house is almost completely surrounded by a moat. So once you’ve gotten past the lake, gotten past the sensors, and gotten past the windows or doors , you then come in contact with a heavily armed home owner. I love living in the country, in a rich neighborhood far from any town or city. Literally an oasis. Stay vigilant.
Someone violently kicks my door in and within seconds they are having to deal with my two large breed dogs ( German Shepherd and Boxer). In my bedroom, which is the furthest room from the front door has my 12 gauge at the ready. When I get home I typically change into lounging clothes. My EDC CCW goes with my street clothes and my S&W J-Frame comes with me around the house. Between the dogs and the model 36 I’m pretty confident I can deal with most home invasions. & if not they will give me the needed cover to get back to the shotgun.
Sleep with my pistol on the pillow next to my head. Keep it on my computer desk all evening when I am online reading or gaming. No kids here, never any visitors, FTW!
Similar set up here. SIG 365 12+1 in a IWB holster under the pillow, spare mags in nightstand, with 2600 lumen light, Smith 649 under my body and spare 5 round speedloader in pj shirt pocket. The revolver will shoot just fine under the bedcovers. The SIG is to continue the response if needed.
Soooo true. You have to have it where you can grab it in an instant all the time. I carry mine in a secure hip holster and it "goes to bed with me" every night.
I own a rather keyed up female Presa Canario. I have no questions of her buying me time while I fetch the .45 hardball, but I do need to keep it on me more at home.
Home carry has a third advantage; you're ready to go out. If you need to run to the store for a jug of milk, or you remember it's time to pick up your kids, or your friend calls and needs a quick favor, it can be very tempting to think, "It's just a short, routine trip. I don't really need to go to the trouble of opening the lock box and putting my gun on for a simple trip like this, only to have to put it away when I get back." Unfortunately, trouble doesn't RSVP. I'd rather be armed, even just walking out to the mailbox.
What method and holsters do people use to carry guns on sweat pants and gym shorts at home? How do you secure holsters to sweat pants and gym shorts? Their is no belt on them.
Have you considered a shoulder holster for the home? Seems like the best for comfort. You can leak, lay on the couch, sit at the table. Some of them do require a waiste belt tough Else go full ugly cowboy like Eli Wallach and just sling a belt over the head and across your chest 😀
Girls with guns is awesome!!! First off it’s great for them cuz some women are not capable of defending themselves even if they are able you can’t stop a bullet or getting stabbed sometime even someone who is bigger or stronger. 2nd it’s good in case she’s with her husband or boyfriend or kids etc an they are in a situation she can protect them an themselves
I don't keep my gun on my nightstand at night. Unfortunately when I wake up in the middle of the night I barely know who I am, let alone ready to fight for my life. Are there exercises or something to fix that?
As we get older and our eyes let us down, we have to increase the odds in our favor. I recommend low noise/low recoil birdshot in a 12ga shotgun. At in-home distances, it will be devastating. And, at 10 feet it spreads about as much as the size of a gallon of milk or antifreeze jug so you don't have to be super accurate. I also recommend having just 2 rounds of this in the shotgun, followed by #4 buckshot in a 2 3/4 size shell - no magnums! By the time you use the first 2 low power rounds, you will be ready for the big stuff and IF you need it, it's there. Best of luck.
My dogs will wake me right away. If they are not shot by the intruder ( bad shit will occur then) they will keep them busy so I can take care of the leftovers. My two German Shepherds are very protective and love me to death!
Pajamas = cutoffs, holster & G26, flashlight on night stand. Shelf above shower, just reach up. 24/7 in my possession, under my control. Women armed, NOW! 3 daughters, shoot very well, .22 up to .45 Oldest daughter, MP and amazing.
I have to keep my gun on me while at home continually because my chihuahua is freaking worthless when it comes to barking ! ….. he’s so nice he quietly greets anyone who comes to visit , I wouldn’t be surprised if he would show a bad guy where all my guns are 😝 🤪
I'm a firm believer of being able to fight before getting a gun. Boxing, wrestling, judo, or karate. Master the basics and get proficient at striking, blocking, parrying, and stepping. You can learn ways to hurt people for self-defense. There are classes you can take offered to women and weak gentlemen who have been bullied. You don't have to get good enough to compete against others in mixed martial arts but keep your training a secret and have that to surprise your attacker while getting good at pointing your gun center mass if they are not wearing a body armor. Then get good with your firearm. Real good. Put in the time at an isolated place where your bullets will not travel past the dirt mound or mounds or wall that will stop your bullet, and not cause your bullet to ricochet. Then, get some safety training about how to look past your target so you don't shoot more than the person you HAVE TO SHOOT. Never want to shoot someone. If you want to shoot someone, stay away from that person. Be aware of your surroundings and ready to respond. Don't attend rallies that have the potential to get violent. If you sense danger, then leave before it occurs. That whole stand your ground thing is only if you are caught off guard. If you know something is going to go down, it is your duty to get away from there and call the police. Let them handle it because you are not being paid to put your life on the line not to mention the lives of the people you are with, like your wife or children or brothers or sisters. I hope you never have to use the gun. STAY SAFE is my last offering to anyone reading this.
Pistol - holster - dummy rounds - re factor target......You can build proficiency and confidence with your pistol and be prepared. With the ammo shortage and the bat stew flu its a real effective way to go about it. CCW classes are in session. Get that done ASAP.... By all means own a gun and be prepared....EVERYBODY
I carry 99.9% of time, when i wake up till i go to bed, even to the restroom. im finally getting my wife to do the same. you just never know when something will happen. and also carry one in the chamber, you might not get a chance to load it when you need it, you most likely will forget to charge it in a stressful situation.
Massad is correct about the motor skills of women generally being better than men. The best hand gun shooter I ever saw was a lady who could shoot a 6 shot 4" group at 50 yards in 6 seconds or less with a 8" Colt Python .357! She could shoot that 4" group at 100 yards, just not as fast!
They’ll be kicking my door for a long time, reinforced with 3/16 steel plate 3” wide and I need exactly 3 seconds to retrieve a gun, light and backup mag if I’m in bed otherwise I pull it from 4 o’ and it’s not a pocket pistol.
I'm trying to get a a gun and my wife agrees we need one when traveling but when I explain the need to carry in the house she refuses the concept completely.
this is what I should start doing, home carry since we live in Communist New Jermany and not allowed to carry outside beyond our property should carry inside our home. hopefully when SCOTUS changes that law in June 2022, all the may issue states turn into shall issue state, we'd be free to carry everywhere almost. I saw a picture with Massad and Bill Jordan together. Bill was holding a S&W .41 magnum while Massad was looking at it. was in Bills book I believe, No Second Chance.
Always armed even if only a 22 revolver. For newbies gun carriers I say it like carrying your pet Rattlesnake in a box with you, know were its is at all the time, don't be careless and mishandle it because it will bite you , leave it lay around it will bite someone else
2:56 I shit you not, and the pun is fully intended, I kept a firearm in the bathroom for that very reason. I was lucky enough to never be the victim of a home invasion, but I lived in an apartment complex where the neighbor to each side of me and the one directly on top of me had their apartments broken in to while they were home. Over reaction? Maybe. But I could do my business from that point on with one less worry on my mind.
Nice. I sometimes forget to carry into the throne room. But if I remember to do so, I'm happy to say that it is one of the rooms in which I have ammo stacked in case I have to barricade myself inside. And I also have very firm milk crates that stack perfectly sideways to make it extremely difficult to force the door open.
I keep a gun next to my toilet. The most important place, in my opinion. If I’m in the shower or on the shitter, it will take me the longest time to get to a weapon if I didn’t have one in the bathroom. Think about it. You have to get out of the shower soaking, which would be a big slipping hazard. If you are shitting, then you have to stand up and pull up your pants. Then you are exiting the room into an unknown situation. Bottom line, if you only have 1 gun, carry it around your home. If you have many, and don’t want to carry 24/7, keep one in the most vulnerable areas. The bathroom, and your bedside.
@@Kop_in_the_Sky I was at first. Having been at sea before, I was used to see rust build up on weapons overnight. But I had a rifle leaning up against the wall between the toilet and shower for over a year and it didn’t rust at all, even when it was soaked with hot shower steam. I didn’t clean that weapon the whole year to see what would happen. I would check the chamber once a week just to make sure it wasn’t rusting. It was a Colt AR-15. Where I live now, I no longer have my own bathroom so I don’t have the Colt sitting in the same spot, instead I have a handgun in a drawer that’s easily reachable from sitting on the throne. If you’re sitting down or laying down in my home, there’s a gun or two within reach. I have a tiny 1 bedroom apartment now, so it’s sort of important. In a home where your couch is a room away from the front door you’d probably have some time to react if some thug booted in your door. For me, my couch is 5 feet from the door, so as soon as I could stand up they could push me back down. That’s why I think it’s important to have weapons in vulnerable areas, especially in apartments where you aren’t allowed to install security doors or upgrade your locks.
Interesting that he wears both his genuine squirrel fur toupee and his EDC gun inside his house. If he hears a bump in the night which does he put on first, the gun or the rug for his bald head? How many squirrels had to die to make that toupee?
It's not that women can't do it, it's that most women don't want to. Men and women are different, psychologically. That's scientifically proven (as much as such a thing can be proven) and after 50+ years of social pressure to say men and women are the same inside (any differences are just "socially constructed") most of the differences remain, in spite of all of that pressure to be the same. Most women *do* want her man to be her "protector-provider" just like the old days. And most men want to be that protector-provider. Even very wealthy and successful women in the career world tend to choose men who earn more than they do, and who exude masculinity. They "marry up" as the saying goes. And women tend to choose careers where they work with people, while men tend to choose careers where they work with things. Men tend to choose more dangerous careers, women tend towards indoor jobs. All of that fits with "my husband carries the gun." He's the protector-provider, and the handler of a dangerous mechanical device. Because that's the way she *wants* it. Not all women of course, but most women.

I don't know who the hell Polite Society Podcast is, but if you have Massad Ayoob on, I'm subscribing. Thanks for the good interview. Sending a link to my daughter now.
Yessir! Any channel featuring Mr. Ayoob I automagically hit the subscribe button. Muscle memory :)
I have one with a holster that I can wear with my PJs...Still trying to convince my wife to learn to shoot and carry...Daughter is into armed self-defense which pleases me greatly...
My 80-year-old grandmother carries a 38 special revolver in her apron while she’s cooking dinner. She’s a very smart woman
Any video with Mr. Ayoob is a good video.
amen Massad , i raised my daughter shooting long guns and pistols she just turned 21 and is carrying now
Best 10 minutes of today.
Great Content from a legend. God Bless.
I carry my Glock 42 unless I’m in the shower or if I’m fulfilling my marital duty. That is the only two exceptions I’m not armed. I have a 3 speed holster which allows me to deep conceal it for 40 hours a week and then pull it up into the appendix position every chance I can. The 42 is light and I can put 8 rounds in a fist sized group with either hand if I have to. Something like the 42 is what I believe most people need for program compliance and to shoot quickly and accurately with either or both hands.
You do were you gun when taking out the trash?
I am a Glock fan and own three of them 19,21,30 but I love my Sig P365 for everyday carry. It is almost like not having one on me yet has 11 with one in the pipe.
yeah man! lol! if i`m wearing underwear I have my 42 on in a 3 speed holster.
Wait.... so you claim to holster carry even when you are asleep... presumably after you have fulfilled your "marital duties"? I am calling BS.
@@tonyromano6220 Of course!
When I first started carrying I carried at home for a few days to get used to it before carrying in public. Now it’s either on my person or within arm’s reach almost 100% of the time. Also we have feral hogs and coyotes, so keeping it on me while outside is imperative.
I actually do have one in every room. But all of them are housed in a speed safe that I lock when I leave and open when I return. All get locked at night with the exception of the one next to my bed to avoid an invader finding it and using it against me. I have one that is not locked but well out of the reach of any child in my kitchen. I wish they made a small version of the speed safe for smaller weapons, it's a LCP II .380. Maybe I'll find one for it.
I run through scenarios from time to time to prepare for and intruder from either the front door or back door. Massad always has good advice and I like listening to it.
@Marino I no longer carry a .380. I carry the LC9s. Perfect for me. Thanks.
You keep a gun in every room? Where do you live... Iraq?
I live in the Republic of America. Of course I have one in each room. I don't want to run to get my defense weapon. Do you? Or do you just wait freightenly on the call to 911 hoping the police who many want defunded, to respond to your feable plea?
@@BatCaveOz Hey, you're being rude to a lot of people that choose to take their self defense more seriously than you do. How about you take your naive old ass out of here or just be quiet.
When at home, I CARRY my backup with a reload. My full-size sidearm that I routinely WEAR is no more than arm-length away.
Showering/bathing is when most people are most vulnerable. When I do so, I lock the door. No more than arm-length away is my full-size sidearm, cell phone, tac light, folding knife, and trousers.
When he mentioned the bathroom, I smiled. I was actually in the bathroom watching this, but I have what I affectionately call my 'shitter Glock'. It's a Glock 17 that lives in a hidden compartment in my bathroom, with two high capacity magazines.
If someone kicks in the door while I'm on the shitter, it's going to be a bad day for them. 😁👍
Well at least you are in the right place when you lose your fine motor skills and poop yourself. Lol
It'll be a bad day for you too if you forget to wipe😂
I should getta 'shitter Glock', right now I carry my 'pillow .45' with me when I play 'game of thrones.'
I like pocket carry. Also I always carry with the safety on.
Lock box under the sink…..
I wear either a S&W 36 snubby or CZ PCR on at home at all times!
Don’t cross this guy. He’s pure business.
Shoulder holster could be a comfortable option for the home
Easy to take a leak, sit at the table, doing chores around the house, or lay on the couch and relax
Thoughts?
Mas I have been trying to find a credible reason to carry in my house, because alot of people will laugh. You have given me a terrific answer to home carry. I have firearms every 10 ala clint smith. If I take your advise, I won't need all those guns if I have one on me. thank you Mas
An incredibly high percentage of home invasions occur IN THE HOME!
@@billdonnelly7556 I think that is why they are called 'home' invasions.
I'm kinda bashful to admit it, but I even take my gun to the bathroom with me. Not that I'm so insecure that I'm scared to go to the johnny without it. It's just that while I'm isolated in there, I'd hate to get caught with my drawers down.
If it was on you and you end up in the john.... then it should be in there with you.
He is the MAN I went to the Police Academy in 1979 retired in 2006 he is so right about females and guns. I have taught a lot of women to shoot but if they can’t answer that they will use the firearm if needed to STOP the bad guy. Back in the old days kill. I will not train them. Because I don’t want their firearm used on them. Firearms are a lethal weapon not a scare technique.
One man I knew who taught CCW classes. said that a woman who never shot before or had limited experience.could take just a small amount of instruction.and often match or beat many of the males.who said they had been shooting for years and shot often.
So you are saying that you would prefer to have untrained gunowners in the community...?
@@BatCaveOz I don't see him saying anything of the sorts. He is repeating what a firearm instructor told him.
@@BatCaveOz you need to reread @mikechampion's again. The instructor said the ladies could take a small amount of training.
A person doesn't need hundreds of hours to learn basic firearm safety.
Holy heck! Amanda mentioned us!!
My wife asked me why I carry a gun at home. I said the Decepticons. She laughed. I laughed. The toaster laughed. I shot the toaster. It was a good time.
Infamous last words: 'That can never happen to me'. Listen to that man.
Absolutely! I have been saying this for years.
Who was it that said "better to have the advice and not need it, than to need the advice and not have it?" Also, if "you are a nudist" without a shoulder holster would it be considered a pee shooter?
My Mom taught me how to shoot. She even out shot a police officer with his own pistol. She was at the armory shooting her 22 rifle when one of the city cops came in and started talking to her. Asked if she ever fired a revolver before. ( she hadn’t) He proceeded to show her how and fired his 6 shots at the target. Reloaded and then let her try. She put 5 of 6 in the 10 ring. He suddenly had to get going and left. 😀😀😀😀
It seems unlikely that a police officer would let some rando shoot his duty revolver.
@@BatCaveOz well this was 60 + years ago and the cop knew my mom.
HAVE A DOG. Even a tiny chihuahua is a fantastic alarm system and deterrent.
as a blind ccw holder and hunter, I feel naked without a gun at home or on the road. Pants on, gun on times two is how I have run for years. Two guns are better than one if you are using a cane as one hand is busy. Strike, block and shoot CQC is my defensive formula.
"Self defense ... begins with the belief you are worth defending."

A little late but I have wrestled with keeping guns throughout my home. I don't because I have neices and nephews that come over and I don't want to have to try to remember to secure firearms then put them back, etc. I keep almost all of my firearms secured except the one I'm carrying and maybe one more that is hidden in a high enough place that I can reach but kids can't. Just my 2 cents.
Infrared doorbell positioned in the driveway. Security system with backup power turned on. Doors locked. My house is almost completely surrounded by a moat. So once you’ve gotten past the lake, gotten past the sensors, and gotten past the windows or doors , you then come in contact with a heavily armed home owner.
I love living in the country, in a rich neighborhood far from any town or city. Literally an oasis. Stay vigilant.
Someone violently kicks my door in and within seconds they are having to deal with my two large breed dogs ( German Shepherd and Boxer). In my bedroom, which is the furthest room from the front door has my 12 gauge at the ready. When I get home I typically change into lounging clothes. My EDC CCW goes with my street clothes and my S&W J-Frame comes with me around the house. Between the dogs and the model 36 I’m pretty confident I can deal with most home invasions. & if not they will give me the needed cover to get back to the shotgun.
Sleep with my pistol on the pillow next to my head. Keep it on my computer desk all evening when I am online reading or gaming. No kids here, never any visitors, FTW!
Lol when I was single the other side of the bed pillow worked but nowadays the night stand works fine.
You should probably speak to someone about your paranoia...
Similar set up here. SIG 365 12+1 in a IWB holster under the pillow, spare mags in nightstand, with 2600 lumen light, Smith 649 under my body and spare 5 round speedloader in pj shirt pocket. The revolver will shoot just fine under the bedcovers. The SIG is to continue the response if needed.
Soooo true. You have to have it where you can grab it in an instant all the time. I carry mine in a secure hip holster and it "goes to bed with me" every night.
Wall mounted quick access AR-15 safe, in addition to worn sidearm.
POGO: Pants On Gun On
I own a rather keyed up female Presa Canario. I have no questions of her buying me time while I fetch the .45 hardball, but I do need to keep it on me more at home.
Home carry has a third advantage; you're ready to go out.
If you need to run to the store for a jug of milk, or you remember it's time to pick up your kids, or your friend calls and needs a quick favor, it can be very tempting to think, "It's just a short, routine trip. I don't really need to go to the trouble of opening the lock box and putting my gun on for a simple trip like this, only to have to put it away when I get back."
Unfortunately, trouble doesn't RSVP. I'd rather be armed, even just walking out to the mailbox.
How do you attach holster to exercise shorts if exercise shirts are all you wear at home??
What method and holsters do people use to carry guns on sweat pants and gym shorts at home? How do you secure holsters to sweat pants and gym shorts? Their is no belt on them.
Look into the Enigma system by PHLSTER. (not a paid endorsement) This is a game changer.
Have you considered a shoulder holster for the home? Seems like the best for comfort. You can leak, lay on the couch, sit at the table.
Some of them do require a waiste belt tough
Else go full ugly cowboy like Eli Wallach and just sling a belt over the head and across your chest 😀
Girls with guns is awesome!!! First off it’s great for them cuz some women are not capable of defending themselves even if they are able you can’t stop a bullet or getting stabbed sometime even someone who is bigger or stronger. 2nd it’s good in case she’s with her husband or boyfriend or kids etc an they are in a situation she can protect them an themselves
I've heard but can't substantiate the statistic that over 87% of all home invasions happen at a home. Again it's just what I've heard.
hockey playah 😂🤣😂
They've done studies, you know.
60% of the time, it works every time.
You can't be serious it's 100% you know

We have two dogs that will let us know immediately when bad guy enters our house
Great interview…….
I see Massad Ayoob I click.
Where I go my PDW goes unless it is in a Hospital which is forbidden everywhere.
It is on me or beside me.
I don't keep my gun on my nightstand at night. Unfortunately when I wake up in the middle of the night I barely know who I am, let alone ready to fight for my life. Are there exercises or something to fix that?
@winstonS you would think, but I know my limits.
@winstonS you'd be surprised, that's not true. I know.
As we get older and our eyes let us down, we have to increase the odds in our favor. I recommend low noise/low recoil birdshot in a 12ga shotgun. At in-home distances, it will be devastating. And, at 10 feet it spreads about as much as the size of a gallon of milk or antifreeze jug so you don't have to be super accurate. I also recommend having just 2 rounds of this in the shotgun, followed by #4 buckshot in a 2 3/4 size shell - no magnums! By the time you use the first 2 low power rounds, you will be ready for the big stuff and IF you need it, it's there. Best of luck.
My dogs will wake me right away. If they are not shot by the intruder ( bad shit will occur then) they will keep them busy so I can take care of the leftovers. My two German Shepherds are very protective and love me to death!
@@Nitromessiah I like your ammo strategy. Very close to my load choices for the same reasons you have mentioned.
Pretty much the only time I'm not armed(on my person) is when I'm in the shower.
Nice. Me too. No one else here to handle my pistol, except Eddie the cat
Pajamas = cutoffs, holster & G26, flashlight on night stand. Shelf above shower, just reach up. 24/7 in my possession, under my control.
Women armed, NOW!
3 daughters, shoot very well, .22 up to .45 Oldest daughter, MP and amazing.
I like that quote gun powder girls.
I have to keep my gun on me while at home continually because my chihuahua is freaking worthless when it comes to barking ! ….. he’s so nice he quietly greets anyone who comes to visit , I wouldn’t be surprised if he would show a bad guy where all my guns are 😝 🤪
I'm a firm believer of being able to fight before getting a gun. Boxing, wrestling, judo, or karate. Master the basics and get proficient at striking, blocking, parrying, and stepping. You can learn ways to hurt people for self-defense. There are classes you can take offered to women and weak gentlemen who have been bullied. You don't have to get good enough to compete against others in mixed martial arts but keep your training a secret and have that to surprise your attacker while getting good at pointing your gun center mass if they are not wearing a body armor. Then get good with your firearm. Real good. Put in the time at an isolated place where your bullets will not travel past the dirt mound or mounds or wall that will stop your bullet, and not cause your bullet to ricochet. Then, get some safety training about how to look past your target so you don't shoot more than the person you HAVE TO SHOOT. Never want to shoot someone. If you want to shoot someone, stay away from that person. Be aware of your surroundings and ready to respond. Don't attend rallies that have the potential to get violent. If you sense danger, then leave before it occurs. That whole stand your ground thing is only if you are caught off guard. If you know something is going to go down, it is your duty to get away from there and call the police. Let them handle it because you are not being paid to put your life on the line not to mention the lives of the people you are with, like your wife or children or brothers or sisters. I hope you never have to use the gun. STAY SAFE is my last offering to anyone reading this.
God bless mass ayoob
Pistol - holster - dummy rounds - re factor target......You can build proficiency and confidence with your pistol and be prepared. With the ammo shortage and the bat stew flu its a real effective way to go about it. CCW classes are in session. Get that done ASAP.... By all means own a gun and be prepared....EVERYBODY
It was a comfort and a point of pride for me that, when I got married, my wife was a better shot than I.
I be like Kevin Hart, when he did the standup of when people hide guns around the house and renact different scenarios. Hilarious.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Massad just said cosplay 4:39.
Had to chuckle at that! Well done :D
I carry 99.9% of time, when i wake up till i go to bed, even to the restroom. im finally getting my wife to do the same. you just never know when something will happen. and also carry one in the chamber, you might not get a chance to load it when you need it, you most likely will forget to charge it in a stressful situation.
Mr Massad Ayoob, where can I find that shooting shirt you're wearing in this video, please???
God made man; Colonel Colt made him Equal!!!
Massad is correct about the motor skills of women generally being better than men. The best hand gun shooter I ever saw was a lady who could shoot a 6 shot 4" group at 50 yards in 6 seconds or less with a 8" Colt Python .357! She could shoot that 4" group at 100 yards, just not as fast!
if im out of bed, there is always a 1911 on my hip. if im in bed, its right next to the bed.
They’ll be kicking my door for a long time, reinforced with 3/16 steel plate 3” wide and I need exactly 3 seconds to retrieve a gun, light and backup mag if I’m in bed otherwise I pull it from 4 o’ and it’s not a pocket pistol.
Better a "pocket pistol" than the one you don't have on you lol
I'm trying to get a a gun and my wife agrees we need one when traveling but when I explain the need to carry in the house she refuses the concept completely.
this is what I should start doing, home carry since we live in Communist New Jermany and not allowed to carry outside beyond our property should carry inside our home. hopefully when SCOTUS changes that law in June 2022, all the may issue states turn into shall issue state, we'd be free to carry everywhere almost. I saw a picture with Massad and Bill Jordan together. Bill was holding a S&W .41 magnum while Massad was looking at it. was in Bills book I believe, No Second Chance.
Pants on gun on is the ideal... Need to get there...
It’s a great thought but when your employer bans them, those are lengthy blocks of time you don’t have access.
Always armed even if only a 22 revolver. For newbies gun carriers I say it like carrying your pet Rattlesnake in a box with you, know were its is at all the time, don't be careless and mishandle it because it will bite you , leave it lay around it will bite someone else
2:56 I shit you not, and the pun is fully intended, I kept a firearm in the bathroom for that very reason. I was lucky enough to never be the victim of a home invasion, but I lived in an apartment complex where the neighbor to each side of me and the one directly on top of me had their apartments broken in to while they were home. Over reaction? Maybe. But I could do my business from that point on with one less worry on my mind.
Nice. I sometimes forget to carry into the throne room. But if I remember to do so, I'm happy to say that it is one of the rooms in which I have ammo stacked in case I have to barricade myself inside. And I also have very firm milk crates that stack perfectly sideways to make it extremely difficult to force the door open.
Am I the only one that got nervous when he pointed his finger at the camera? Lol
I recorded it and I felt a chill!
Well said!!!
I keep a gun next to my toilet. The most important place, in my opinion. If I’m in the shower or on the shitter, it will take me the longest time to get to a weapon if I didn’t have one in the bathroom.
Think about it. You have to get out of the shower soaking, which would be a big slipping hazard. If you are shitting, then you have to stand up and pull up your pants. Then you are exiting the room into an unknown situation.
Bottom line, if you only have 1 gun, carry it around your home. If you have many, and don’t want to carry 24/7, keep one in the most vulnerable areas. The bathroom, and your bedside.
Are you concerned about the humidity?
@@Kop_in_the_Sky I was at first. Having been at sea before, I was used to see rust build up on weapons overnight. But I had a rifle leaning up against the wall between the toilet and shower for over a year and it didn’t rust at all, even when it was soaked with hot shower steam. I didn’t clean that weapon the whole year to see what would happen. I would check the chamber once a week just to make sure it wasn’t rusting. It was a Colt AR-15. Where I live now, I no longer have my own bathroom so I don’t have the Colt sitting in the same spot, instead I have a handgun in a drawer that’s easily reachable from sitting on the throne. If you’re sitting down or laying down in my home, there’s a gun or two within reach. I have a tiny 1 bedroom apartment now, so it’s sort of important. In a home where your couch is a room away from the front door you’d probably have some time to react if some thug booted in your door. For me, my couch is 5 feet from the door, so as soon as I could stand up they could push me back down. That’s why I think it’s important to have weapons in vulnerable areas, especially in apartments where you aren’t allowed to install security doors or upgrade your locks.
Well worth revisiting this episode!
Thank you.
sometimes women can do it better or are better can’t underestimate women 👍🏼

It's not that women can't do it, it's that most women don't want to. Men and women are different, psychologically. That's scientifically proven (as much as such a thing can be proven) and after 50+ years of social pressure to say men and women are the same inside (any differences are just "socially constructed") most of the differences remain, in spite of all of that pressure to be the same. Most women *do* want her man to be her "protector-provider" just like the old days. And most men want to be that protector-provider. Even very wealthy and successful women in the career world tend to choose men who earn more than they do, and who exude masculinity. They "marry up" as the saying goes. And women tend to choose careers where they work with people, while men tend to choose careers where they work with things. Men tend to choose more dangerous careers, women tend towards indoor jobs. All of that fits with "my husband carries the gun." He's the protector-provider, and the handler of a dangerous mechanical device. Because that's the way she *wants* it. Not all women of course, but most women.
Safest place for mine is on me. If it wasn't dangerous I wouldn't carry it.
