Jason, that "pocket holster" with a "pocket pistol" may be concealed, but just the difficulty you had getting out of your pocket should be a major wake-up to just how useless pocket-carry can be!
@@yathercantillano3874 I would’ve done the same thing as a good neighbor. We’re a constitutional carry state in Indiana. I’m sure you would’ve too. A lot of people don’t think that far ahead when they have to use their weapon, but I’ve shot a lot of weapons and Sigg not even in my top five. My daily is a mechanic TP9 elite SC with a vortex defender on it. If not, I’ll clear the Glock 43XMOS with the hollow son which I’m gonna get rid of really quick because hollow suns suck.
#2, since I began carry concealed at age 21, it's made me a lot more level-headed, and less inclined to get angry or react since I know the consequences of escalation come with a lot of weight. In all the years since I have only leveled a firearm against someone once, and it resulted in the guy running away. As for #3, my EDC of choice is a Ruger LCP. No safety mech, but a somewhat heavy trigger pull means it's pretty much not needed and I feel comfortable carrying chambered. Good video!
Kinda why I like my M&P 2.0 comp carry. No saftey and that first stage trigger pull is long enough it shouldn't be any accidents. The wall is about 3.5 to 4 lbs ish but it goes perfectly with my FPC
@quentinbilyeu3387 was looking into the bodyguard but I already have the 2.0 comp carry with the 15 round mags. Could carry the 17 but idk. It's small enough and not too big with a 4.2 inch barrel.
Pickpockets will set up signs in busy places that read, "Are you sure you have your wallet? Look out for pickpockets!" They will stand near the sign, and when people check to make sure their wallet is there, it shows the crook exactly where to search.
Mas Ayoob says if you are uncomfortable carrying chambered carry a revolver & I agree. In addition to all the other mistakes made in the heat of the moment your hand could slip & induce a malfunction. I’ve been in a gunfight, albeit in ‘74 w/my revolver, and things went down so fast all I had time to do was shoot back.
all depends on training. If you trained rack the slide as you pull your gun from the holster, as you trained by instructors in Israel you`ll be fine in most cases. Drop fire is still a thing in 1911s
I was caught in Kalifornia with my .380 in a fanny pack. At the station, the cop asked me why I was carrying a LOADED gun. I told him an UNLOADED gun was USELESS! Not the answer he was looking for, but made him chuckle! 😂
You gave the CORRECT answer. As a fmr LEO, we would fish all the time. If that query was answered with, "It's loaded in case I need to blow someone's head off..." then the line of questioning would continue and go a different way. As it was, you came off knowing what you were carrying and why. Don't believe he was looking for a specific answer, just needing an answer to ascertain where to go next. Don't know the circumstances, just a thought. Retired now, and it's too hot where I live to conceal carry, so open carry is the rule, not exception. I've been asked 'fishing' questions by cops a couple of times. The answer I give is, well, no other way to put it except Mature. Never had more than one query from a cop at any one time. Even traffic stops, I give my DL and CCW. They'll ask if I have it on. " Yep, 3 o'clock open," is the answer. An, "OK, thanks," is usually the reply. However, you were in Cali so hats off to you bro for having an ever so brief encounter with the police!
@@r.f.pennington746 Not so brief. They arrested me for CCW and put me in detention for 20 hours before releasing me on OR. I thought I might beat the rap after showing them my old CCW permit from GA, but not. After court, I got time served and 500 hrs community service. And my 30 year old Tanfoglio Giuseppe .380 was melted down. Could have been worse.
@@jsldj My bad for misunderstanding that you walked away, without incident. Yes, it could have been worse (but, melting down a TG .380 IS getting pretty bad!). Sorry for your loss. Leads to another thread: we tend to stay out of un-friendly places such as Cali, NJ, NY, Chicago, you name it. If I need to see something there, I Google an image of what I need to see. My 'cop days' were 1979-1993. Still revolvers w/o body armour. We didn't freak when someone stepped out of the car at a traffic stop. We never feared pulling a car over for speeding, didn't lose our minds if someone had a pistol in the glove box. People didn't yell at us. Life went on. Different times!
Hi Jason, I find point 2 to be valid in general, whether you're carrying or not. Thinking about it, none of my life goals is picking fights that interfere with my real life goals, so I keep a low profile and never take a chance I don't have to take.
Exactly. A socialized human being shouldn't need to behave any differently while carrying a weapon. If you feel you have to tone down your attitude and your ego while carrying a gun, you just need to tone down your attitude and your ego, period.
I live in a constitutional carry state and carry concealed. Most of the people I see who open carry do not present themself as the most physically or mentally fit subject who show little situational awareness. It scares me to think that they could be disarmed by an 8 year old.
Yup. I’m in a wheelchair and often times roll around Lowe’s hardware and heavy old dudes open carrying don’t even see me coming and almost as often don’t see me going either! Seriously free guns everywhere here in NC 😂.
I'm lucky to live in a constitutional carry state now, open carry is fine if someone wants to do that-but I always liked the old saying "a weapon is best felt before it is seen!"
I don't open carry, just gor that reason not need someone come and think they can get my gun. Been around guns and riffles for 37 years . Started shooting at 8 years old. I'm 46 years old
A socialized human being doesn't need to behave any differently while carrying a weapon. If you feel you have to tone down your attitude and your ego while carrying a gun, you just need to tone down your attitude and your ego, period.
I found that wearing my CC holster empty for a few weeks not only helped break it in but also familiarized me with it being there and eliminated the "touching" instinct.
I touch it all the time lol. Tbh though if someone knows I'm carrying for doing that, idc anyway. In my state, open carry is now illegal but it's not illegal to conceal. There's a part of that unconstitutional law that says as long as the carrier is making the effort to conceal, it counts. W/e
As a federal law enforcement officer in the US Coast Guard, we trained to carry loaded obviously. I retired and retrained myself to carry without one in the hole, and some ask why? 1. I’m no longer a law enforcement officer dealing with Cartel smugglers or other dangerous felons who I can change their living conditions in a matter of minutes. 2. It gives me a chance to think rationally. I’ve never had to pull my weapon while walking around in South Florida as a civilian. Driving in Miami everyday you get the middle finger waves while they cut you off in traffic, doesn’t phase me, but some people down here will shoot at you if you play the game with them and wave your gun. I’m just too smart to get baited into that. 3. A lot of police officers carry off duty and fatally injure themselves or their own family members. accidentally. If it isn’t loaded, those things won’t happen. For home defense, I’m locked and loaded at night before bedtime, and I put that Desert Eagle back in the safe first thing in the morning, it’s never unloaded. When I leave the house I carry my GLOCK 19 and throw an extra mag in my pocket. I train that way at the range, so in one motion I rack that round when I pull it. I carry that GLOCK, so I don’t have to worry about a safety. I do know that some people have been shot and killed with a loaded weapon in their hand and the safety engaged. “TRAIN THE WAY YOU CARRY”
3. Can you provide some statistics on that? Also you stated you have never pulled your gun, look into the average time between the need to pull a gun and when the first shot goes down. If your not carrying one in the chamber your not confident enough in your responsibility as a EDC civilian and probably shouldn’t be carrying or need to be training more.
Regarding Point #3 There was an off duty police officer who was carrying her loaded Sig P320 in her PURSE. Shot herself and then tried to Sue Sauer. She tried to blame it on Sig Sauer. It seems to me like a lot of police officers don't respect guns, don't care for guns, and treated guns like disposable flathead screwdrivers.
Excessive touching... IWBA carry here, and getting out of the car, have to kind of push/reseat it a bit. I've found that pressing with my forearm while adjusting my "junk" looks very natural... puts holster back in place for upright carry, and nobody thinks twice about a guy adjusting after sitting. LOL
Shoulder holster is a great option when you can wear a jacket. But for those of us in places that get over a hundred degrees in the summer it’s not practical at all.
What kind of shoulder holster do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I bought a girsan regard MC last year and absolutely love it. It’s a Turkish copy of a beretta 92 and I got a basic hard iwb holster for it but was looking for a shoulder holster with the cooler weather coming up so I can carry that again
All of this is really good advice, I would also recommend for new shooters force on force training, easy way to put yourself in realistic situations and learn what to do and what not to do or what you would do an actual self-defense situation without the life altering consequences of actually being in a gunfight.
Good tips. I try to follow those recommendations. I live in a state that issues (after many requirements and fees) CCW permits. Unfortunately almost everyplace is a sensitive area so other than riding in your car you can't carry. I don't want to say what state this is, but thank you again for your video and Aloha.
Just carry concealed anyway. If the situation ever arises in which u take out the active shooter at the mall before he can kill more then 2 people, your lawyer can very easily justify the use and possession of a gun in a so called "safe zone" as safe zones are an unconstitutional restriction on 2A
I've had a number of incidences where insecure people looking to make a name for themselves, at the expense of others, will try some domineering crap with someone printing (or humorously it is not a firearm) and it opened my eyes to the problem that #1 speaks of. You can't change other people, but there are a lot of trouble causers out there so it might be best to truly conceal if you are not somewhere open carry is allowed. The trouble causers will play the victim, yet aggressively taunt others and say the person is a threat. (which always baffles me, but again... not in my control)
3:59 very correct. I don’t mind people having guns safely. The key word in that sentence is SAFELY! lol Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that get guns just to bully and intimidate people which is so wrong. A lot of people need to understand the difference between an actual threat and you just being trigger happy and pulling your gun out any chance you get. If you don’t have the mature mindset to have a gun you shouldn’t have it in my opinion. You are danger to society at that point.
@@rodneyhirsch2340 My great aunt grew u p in Blanding Utah--In the publice schools, young girls are taught a woman must have 12 children for her Mormon husband to enter heaven---" I got out of that cult as fast I could." She would tell everyone that until the day she died to avoid that cult to : " Like the Plague."
Great video. I see alot of people carrying concealed especially with more states that have constitutional carry. I have to inform them the difference between a CCW and constitutional carry. Constitutional Carry allow you to carry within the state but not cross state line into a neighboring state. A CCW will allow you to travel into reciprocal states that honors the CCW. Also, conceal carry in not open carry. God bless.
"Telegraphing" . I was at the restaurant. I saw someone coming out his car and arranging his jacket at the waist in a certain way. I assumed he was making sure his concealed gun wasn't visible. What a mistake. I learned from it
Yeah I'm not sure you would need a holster? I think it would take extra time to get it out of your pocket and unholster it at the same time? I wonder what he thinks about that. I think the smartest place is right in front inside your Belt Line and belly line
@@rushfanjames2112 In one segment it looks like it might be a Desantis grippy and in another it looks like a Vedder with a hook. Both work well. Both can come out of the pocket on retrieval (not really a draw in the normal sense) so you have to train to strip the holster off the weapon. It becomes muscle memory as with any consistent training regimen.
@@SHS12212 New Jersey is my state of birth but not of residence and it’s so absurd how hard they make it for everything gun related. No hollowpoint ammo, must register your handgun, cannot transport handguns that aren’t registered, can’t open carry and damn near can’t get a concealed carry permit. When I visit my family up there I’m so sketched out to be out and about and “not” be carrying.
I carry a Ruger 380 LCP pocket gun that does not have a safety on it. It’s hard to walk around with that thing chambered when I know it could go off without my participation. The clip is in the gun, so I consider it loaded. I’m aware of my surroundings at all times, and it’s safer to chamber in the moment, than to have it go off in my pocket or when I’m pulling it out.
What makes you think it will just go off? Ammo doesn't spontaneously ignite itself. I've got revolvers loaded in my safe, not once have they gone off. If any brand of gun or ammo spontaneously shot itself without provocation it would be pulled from the market. I'd love to hear the details of a single instance ever where a gun went off by itself.
@@maxdoles5806 - if I accidentally touch the trigger ( not pull back) it just might fire if already chambered!!!!! Who the hell knows with these guns! Facts 💯
Thanks. One more- if you carry in something like a fanny pack, use one made for it. I had a belt clip fail on a cheap one. Not good to wonder what public place you left your gun on the ground. My fail was fortunately in my hotel room.
More simply, don't buy cheap. I've seen garbage on Amazon that is "made for carrying" and it's pure junk. Each to their own, but after trying the fanny pack thing, I ended up just ditching the idea and going with pocket carry if no other options are available.
Jason, Totally agree with all of your comments. So right about not having conceal carry visible. I pocket carry a .38 snub. Totally agree about keeping your cool. I'm 63 years old and am too old to go to Jail. By carrying a revolver I don't have to worry about racking. I carried an auto for years until I had one jam on me. I've been shooting since I was 14 years old and worked in private security in high priority locations, Consulates, Government offices, computer centers, etc. and and trained with Federal agents. The touching aspect is very important, most of the time I don't even realize I'm carrying. One example I went into my daughters school and at some point I realized , I have a gun in my pocket. Love your videos and enjoy watching them.
I've worked in a gun shop for almost eleven years and I can safely say that there are a bunch of people out there that don't need to own a firearm, let alone carry one. This has surprised and saddened me.
Thank you. Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments to the Constitution) speaks of "rights". Back then before typewriters, words had a broader meaning. "Rights" were "obligations to do what is right". They wrote it that way so it could be applied forever into the future as the technology continued to advance. In our modern world, for most people it is not right or righteous to carry a weapon around with them. BTW, 1st Amendment requires us to speak righteously. We know it is not right to scream "fire" in a crowded theater and the Bill of Rights does not give GROUPS of citizens any rights at all, but various court cases over the years totally changed the meaning of it all. What is "right"? It is what you would want for you or yours in the same set of circumstances.... aka the Golden Rule.
@@SunriseLAW A few points/thoughts (not criticisms): - We have had a printing press for long before the typewriter was developed. The existence of that media is irrelevant to "doing what is right" as you point out. - The construct of "screaming fire in a theater" is one that local laws came up with and was asserted by the SCOTUS. It is not enumerated in the 1A itself. You are correct, though, in that "righteousness" should dictate proper behavior instead of needing laws to do so. -The 1A, like all the other amendments, is a limitation on the government to prevent "Freedom of Religion. Press. Expression." So righteousness does not exactly come into play under the 1A. - Righteousness is learned through a good family or religious upbringing... something that is lacking in most families today, in particular in two segments of the population. - Who defines "righteousness"? My concern is that any definition of anything, leads to an avenue for corruption by whatever party is in power. We are seeing it with the 2A and the assault weapons bans around the country today, just as an example.
@@fleatactical7390 Excellent analysis, I sense we are generally on the same side. Our "founding fathers" can be thought of as the beatniks of the era... very idealistic, hyped on then-new coffee :):) writing stuff that is hard to apply in the real world because it assumes people are basically honest and empathetic. Most are, too many are not. As it relates to "guns", far too many people buy them who have no business owning them. They don't practice, they don't clean them, many people put them away in a drawer and almost forget they have them They are the #1 target of burglars and that just ain't right :)
When you pocket carry, do you have a round in the chamber? Dr. Will Dabbs, a physician in Mississippi and gun writer, does not pocket carry with a round in the chamber because the femoral artery is right there. Your thoughts? Thanks.
Carrying condition is a personal choice. Cocked and locked feels good for some, revolvers feel good for others, strikers without safeties carried live or “hot” is the highest risk category and some folks opt to carry them on an empty chamber and although it’s not ideal for a quick draw under immense stress, it does have the lowest likelihood of shooting your own artery.
I understand your point about carrying with one in the chamber, but I don’t agree that in the heat of the moment you’ll just forget to rack it, especially if that’s how you always train. I live in Israel and almost nobody carries with one in the chamber, so racking the gun immediately after drawing is second nature.
The question of carrying loaded or unloaded has plagued gun owners for years. I carry without a round in the chamber for safety. It is second nature to charge a round when I draw, and I can do it very quickly. Does this still pose a question as to why I should load?
Because I'm willing to bet you don't wait til your actively crashing to put a seat belt on. Let's be real here you probably aren't going to be fast enough in a real world situation. And before you say "but Israelis" you aren't idf.
Some advice to help with the imprinting issue. Whatever size shirt you wear make sure you go with a brand that runs big like Carhartt for example. Or move up a shirt size. Another thing that helps is cross draw carry BUT if you’re gonna carry cross draw you must train with your holster in the cross draw position.
I love pocket carry, i grew up as a socially awkward teen always having my hands in my pockets so its very natural and nobody ever suspects anything other then me being awkward.
I appendix carry & use a belly holster! My city is a Open & conceal carry State! I just bought my first handgun a week ago so I'm still getting the hang of it
Do what you are comfortable with. I still everyday carry my Glock 29 10mm without a round in the chamber. I have practiced and I can from appendix and rack the slide to chamber a round, and get a shot on target within 1.65 seconds... Yeah I don't carry with a round in the chamber, yet, because I'm not comfortable with that yet. I dont like how Glocks don't have a traditional safety so I am taking it slow.
@@RNG-999 I got the Taurus G3C but I'm looking forward to upgrade To the Glock 19X And I prefer to keep one in the chamber but at the same time I want to get the hang of my firearm first before I think about doing that! That's the main thing I'm scared of is accidentally shooting myself in the leg or something So for now I just keep a full magazine in my firearm && go on about my day when I carry
@@Rjosephhh I almost always pocket carry cuz it's way easier to keep concealed and it stays on me but out of the way. Because of that, I go full mag but not chambered. If u practice good situational awareness, your never gonna end up in a situation in which 1 second is gonna help u. I follow the 21 foot rule. If anyone gets to within 21 feet of me, I have already accessed them and the situation before I allow anyone to get that close. This excuse of your not gonna have one hand free etc is bogus. A cop has to put himself within hand to hand combat range. Joe blow citizen does not. I believe that racking the slide gives me one more second to decide is deadly force justified as a last resort or am I just being trigger happy? As a carrier, you need to realize that u are introducing a live firearm into the situation everywhere u go whether or not u intend to use it and so u should be actively scanning your surroundings to protect both u, and it
I agree with all 5 points except number 3. We train, train and train with dummy training rounds and dry chamber. For me, it's a last step in a line of safety.
I live in Iowa, so we have open Carry statute which means we can carry concealed or unconcealed and it doesn’t matter if the gun is loaded or not. That’s the way all states should be.
“You need to swallow your ego” “Someone flipping you off isn’t a gun situation”. I never knew that someone had to be told that but honestly, a lot of crazy carriers have been doing insane and immature shit like that while driving, which makes me nervous that anyone’s actually crazy enough to pull their gun to that and it drops my faith in humanity way low. I live in Indiana and they recently made the state Permit Free, where *anyone* can carry a firearm, CC or not and that honestly disturbs me as well as my uncle who’s literally a sheriff and former long served deputy.
This is the first video I have noticed that your are LDS. I would love to hear more about how that plays a part in your pro self defense mindset. I grew up LDS. Have not been involved in the church since I was in my late teens. I am 45 now. Never do I remember this topic ever being discussed. We did ration prep. My family was always pro self defense. However, I never remember this topic being discussed in any ward. I am very intrigued how these two mindsets collide.
i see that it is justified because you have the commandment to love your neighbor. your most immediate neighbor is your family one way to show your love is to protect them :)
Jason, have you ever had any issues when you're closing your one eye when you aim? I was always told to keep both eyes open so you have peripherals. In the beginning it was hard but now it's second nature.
love my pocket carry p365 . 5-11 pants are the best . I love my vedder pocket carry holster with the curve and its awesome. Jason is dry firing a gun back for the gun, obviously not cuz you are doing it every day
Most people who start off carrying need to get use to it being there and get training telling people you must carry with one in the chamber is dumb af atleast people are carrying
Jason, your channel is awesome man. You have a new subscriber here. I switched to pocket carry this summer. Appendix carry, while it’s a great way after 5 years just got to be to uncomfortable. Thanks to your videos I’m very comfortable concealing in the pocket. And with the p365 too.
I’ve carried everyday for the last 2.5 years, I’m way past the always touching phase… but recently I got a motorcycle, and carrying while riding takes me back to the touching phase. I’m always touching my ccw to make sure it’s still secured while I’m riding. It’s a very bad habit but I will overcome it with more experience
I bet … you need to move to Tennessee !!! I pick out my daily carry pistol.. same as I do my shirt … Open carry , concealed carry .. whatever floats your boat I don’t worry about printing
Great points Jason. We’ve all started with various amounts of knowledge and experience, some with less than what we’d like to see. But this can help those on that lower end of the spectrum. Your 1911 sure is a beauty. Something like that probably has a tuned trigger. For a gun like that, I would recommend not dropping the slide on an empty chamber. Doing this will damage the sear engagement and in turn cause hammer follow. Thanks for your efforts and God Bless.
Only thing I disagree with is when you said if you're not carrying with a loaded firearm, don't even carry. Sure, you might not have time to load in some circumstances, but that doesn't make it any better to be completely defenseless. At least in SOME instances, an unloaded firearm is no different as you may witness something happening slowly and have time to tap and rack. The only time it may harm you is if you aren't used to it being unloaded and then forget to tap and rack when needed. Otherwise, having something is better than having nothing at all.
You really need to watch some ASP. My draw stroke is very fast, and it is important to have a fast draw stroke for two reasons. 1.) shit can go down VERY quickly and you need to be able to present your weapon as quickly as possible. 2.) bad guys don't go around wearing black hamburgler masks to let them know you're the bad guy, the less time it takes you to present and fire your weapon the more time you have to assess whether or not what you are facing is an actual threat. In modern self-loading weapons the thing most likely to cause the gun to malfunction is you. You try to pull your gun and rack the slide and use short stroke it You're going to hear the loudest sound you ever hear in your life, a click when you're expecting a bang then things are gonna go very badly for you. If you don't feel comfortable caring a loaded weapon go and get reputable training until you do
Ego is so dangerous. It's mention could never be overstated.
Jason, that "pocket holster" with a "pocket pistol" may be concealed, but just the difficulty you had getting out of your pocket should be a major wake-up to just how useless pocket-carry can be!

Exactly. A socialized human being shouldn't need to behave any differently while carrying a weapon. If you feel you have to tone down your attitude and your ego while carrying a gun, you just need to tone down your attitude and your ego, period.
I live in a constitutional carry state and carry concealed. Most of the people I see who open carry do not present themself as the most physically or mentally fit subject who show little situational awareness. It scares me to think that they could be disarmed by an 8 year old.
Yup. I’m in a wheelchair and often times roll around Lowe’s hardware and heavy old dudes open carrying don’t even see me coming and almost as often don’t see me going either! Seriously free guns everywhere here in NC 😂.
I'm lucky to live in a constitutional carry state now, open carry is fine if someone wants to do that-but I always liked the old saying "a weapon is best felt before it is seen!"
I don't open carry, just gor that reason not need someone come and think they can get my gun. Been around guns and riffles for 37 years . Started shooting at 8 years old. I'm 46 years old

I found that wearing my CC holster empty for a few weeks not only helped break it in but also familiarized me with it being there and eliminated the "touching" instinct.

@@GinEric84 -- I prefer leather/kydex hybrids as I don't care for the feel of kydex on my torso. I have multiple of both. You, do you. 😄
I touch it all the time lol. Tbh though if someone knows I'm carrying for doing that, idc anyway. In my state, open carry is now illegal but it's not illegal to conceal. There's a part of that unconstitutional law that says as long as the carrier is making the effort to conceal, it counts. W/e

Please tell me your joking smh. Why would anyone wear an empty holster? Yall are goofy as hell
I hope this gets wide distribution. People need this. TY!
As a federal law enforcement officer in the US Coast Guard, we trained to carry loaded obviously. I retired and retrained myself to carry without one in the hole, and some ask why?
1. I’m no longer a law enforcement officer dealing with Cartel smugglers or other dangerous felons who I can change their living conditions in a matter of minutes.
2. It gives me a chance to think rationally. I’ve never had to pull my weapon while walking around in South Florida as a civilian. Driving in Miami everyday you get the middle finger waves while they cut you off in traffic, doesn’t phase me, but some people down here will shoot at you if you play the game with them and wave your gun. I’m just too smart to get baited into that.
3. A lot of police officers carry off duty and fatally injure themselves or their own family members. accidentally. If it isn’t loaded, those things won’t happen.
For home defense, I’m locked and loaded at night before bedtime, and I put that Desert Eagle back in the safe first thing in the morning, it’s never unloaded. When I leave the house I carry my GLOCK 19 and throw an extra mag in my pocket. I train that way at the range, so in one motion I rack that round when I pull it. I carry that GLOCK, so I don’t have to worry about a safety. I do know that some people have been shot and killed with a loaded weapon in their hand and the safety engaged. “TRAIN THE WAY YOU CARRY”
Thanx 4sharing...gr8 wisdom
3. Can you provide some statistics on that? Also you stated you have never pulled your gun, look into the average time between the need to pull a gun and when the first shot goes down. If your not carrying one in the chamber your not confident enough in your responsibility as a EDC civilian and probably shouldn’t be carrying or need to be training more.
Very good story
Regarding Point #3
There was an off duty police officer who was carrying her loaded Sig P320 in her PURSE. Shot herself and then tried to Sue Sauer. She tried to blame it on Sig Sauer.
It seems to me like a lot of police officers don't respect guns, don't care for guns, and treated guns like disposable flathead screwdrivers.
Thanks!
Love the hold your ego. Too many people are quick to shoot on an insult or road rage.
A big concealed carry error for me is not using a holster or using a really crappy holster with no retention or not covering the trigger properly.
You shouldn’t be carrying then
You’re well aware it’s an error but you do it anyway? That’s just not having common sense and you shouldn’t carry in general.
@GlobalTossPot You're rather opinionated too like the other one here. I never said I did it myself. Keep your arrogant opinion to yourself.
i recommend the Smart Carry Holster! You can wear with shorts and sweats with no print! it’s so comfortable you forget it’s there
Excessive touching... IWBA carry here, and getting out of the car, have to kind of push/reseat it a bit. I've found that pressing with my forearm while adjusting my "junk" looks very natural... puts holster back in place for upright carry, and nobody thinks twice about a guy adjusting after sitting. LOL
That is an excellent point. Thank you for sharing that. And I'm being completely serious.
If you “readjust it” too often your playing with it.
@@themavericks9409 I said "when getting out of the car" as that position usually moves the fitment a bit.

I would love to go to your ranch and learn more about guns and other things you seem to be a great teacher.
Awesome, from VA myself!!!
Shoulder holster (92F) right hand draw, best when in vehicle. Try drawing from hip with seat belt engaged.
Indeed, used the shoulder holster when driving also, under my left shoulder in quick draw mode. Way easier then from the hip or upper leg.
Shoulder holster is a great option when you can wear a jacket. But for those of us in places that get over a hundred degrees in the summer it’s not practical at all.
No thanks lol
Simply take off your seatbelt when s**ts about to go down
I have a holster attached to my dash under the steering wheel of my truck. I simply transfer holsters when i sit down or right before i get out.
What kind of shoulder holster do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I bought a girsan regard MC last year and absolutely love it. It’s a Turkish copy of a beretta 92 and I got a basic hard iwb holster for it but was looking for a shoulder holster with the cooler weather coming up so I can carry that again
Thank you for this video. You can never overstate the importance of what not to do when carrying.
Great content, thanks for sharing
All of this is really good advice, I would also recommend for new shooters force on force training, easy way to put yourself in realistic situations and learn what to do and what not to do or what you would do an actual self-defense situation without the life altering consequences of actually being in a gunfight.

Open carrying around the public, while legal, is a terrible idea for so many reasons.
Good tips. I try to follow those recommendations. I live in a state that issues (after many requirements and fees) CCW permits. Unfortunately almost everyplace is a sensitive area so other than riding in your car you can't carry. I don't want to say what state this is, but thank you again for your video and Aloha.
Just carry concealed anyway. If the situation ever arises in which u take out the active shooter at the mall before he can kill more then 2 people, your lawyer can very easily justify the use and possession of a gun in a so called "safe zone" as safe zones are an unconstitutional restriction on 2A
The moment you said you carry with one in the pipe you got my like 👍🏻
thank you for saying, keep it loaded at all times.
Very good video with the emphasis on de-escalation and swallowing your pride/ego.
Great show ❤ I'm all of those bad points so I leave my gun at home.😁
I've had a number of incidences where insecure people looking to make a name for themselves, at the expense of others, will try some domineering crap with someone printing (or humorously it is not a firearm) and it opened my eyes to the problem that #1 speaks of. You can't change other people, but there are a lot of trouble causers out there so it might be best to truly conceal if you are not somewhere open carry is allowed. The trouble causers will play the victim, yet aggressively taunt others and say the person is a threat. (which always baffles me, but again... not in my control)
Some of the most sensible advice I've heard regarding concealed carry.
3:59 very correct. I don’t mind people having guns safely. The key word in that sentence is SAFELY! lol Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that get guns just to bully and intimidate people which is so wrong. A lot of people need to understand the difference between an actual threat and you just being trigger happy and pulling your gun out any chance you get. If you don’t have the mature mindset to have a gun you shouldn’t have it in my opinion. You are danger to society at that point.

Great video. I see alot of people carrying concealed especially with more states that have constitutional carry. I have to inform them the difference between a CCW and constitutional carry. Constitutional Carry allow you to carry within the state but not cross state line into a neighboring state. A CCW will allow you to travel into reciprocal states that honors the CCW. Also, conceal carry in not open carry. God bless.
"Telegraphing" . I was at the restaurant. I saw someone coming out his car and arranging his jacket at the waist in a certain way. I assumed he was making sure his concealed gun wasn't visible. What a mistake. I learned from it
I would like to see your quickest presentation of that P365 from your pocket.
Yeah I'm not sure you would need a holster? I think it would take extra time to get it out of your pocket and unholster it at the same time? I wonder what he thinks about that. I think the smartest place is right in front inside your Belt Line and belly line
A good pocket holster has a grippy exterior fabric to stay in the pocket when you have to draw.
Just the 2 little mimics he did were lightning fast!!!
@@rushfanjames2112i have an alien hard pocket holster that's designed to stay in
@@rushfanjames2112 In one segment it looks like it might be a Desantis grippy and in another it looks like a Vedder with a hook. Both work well. Both can come out of the pocket on retrieval (not really a draw in the normal sense) so you have to train to strip the holster off the weapon. It becomes muscle memory as with any consistent training regimen.
You are not allowed to carry in your pocket or on your ankle in New Jersey. It has to be holstered on your waist or hip.
@@SHS12212 New Jersey is my state of birth but not of residence and it’s so absurd how hard they make it for everything gun related. No hollowpoint ammo, must register your handgun, cannot transport handguns that aren’t registered, can’t open carry and damn near can’t get a concealed carry permit. When I visit my family up there I’m so sketched out to be out and about and “not” be carrying.
It’s damn near impossible to gain a CCW In Jersey. I moved to GA and the state is open carry I own 6 guns now waited over a month to get told no
@@IAMREALLICAPOGits no longer impossible in NJ. They made it a crazy amount easier lol
I carry a Ruger 380 LCP pocket gun that does not have a safety on it. It’s hard to walk around with that thing chambered when I know it could go off without my participation. The clip is in the gun, so I consider it loaded. I’m aware of my surroundings at all times, and it’s safer to chamber in the moment, than to have it go off in my pocket or when I’m pulling it out.
Magazine
@@shandybenoit9732 - standard and extension
What makes you think it will just go off? Ammo doesn't spontaneously ignite itself. I've got revolvers loaded in my safe, not once have they gone off. If any brand of gun or ammo spontaneously shot itself without provocation it would be pulled from the market. I'd love to hear the details of a single instance ever where a gun went off by itself.
It’s called a magazine. And the gun is about as likely to chamber a round on its own as it is to fire a round on its own.
@@maxdoles5806 - if I accidentally touch the trigger ( not pull back) it just might fire if already chambered!!!!!
Who the hell knows with these guns! Facts 💯
Thanks. One more- if you carry in something like a fanny pack, use one made for it. I had a belt clip fail on a cheap one. Not good to wonder what public place you left your gun on the ground. My fail was fortunately in my hotel room.
More simply, don't buy cheap. I've seen garbage on Amazon that is "made for carrying" and it's pure junk.
Each to their own, but after trying the fanny pack thing, I ended up just ditching the idea and going with pocket carry if no other options are available.
Good advice Sir. And thank you for your service .
Jason, Totally agree with all of your comments. So right about not having conceal carry visible. I pocket carry a .38 snub. Totally agree about keeping your cool. I'm 63 years old and am too old to go to Jail. By carrying a revolver I don't have to worry about racking. I carried an auto for years until I had one jam on me. I've been shooting since I was 14 years old and worked in private security in high priority locations, Consulates, Government offices, computer centers, etc. and and trained with Federal agents. The touching aspect is very important, most of the time I don't even realize I'm carrying. One example I went into my daughters school and at some point I realized , I have a gun in my pocket. Love your videos and enjoy watching them.
txs .
1 question.
can " dry fire " damage the gun hammer
This would be an excellent training video for the thin blue line gangs.
Definitely points 2 & 5 strongly agree,. Living in a crazy city like New York both will be part of your surviving skills,...
I've worked in a gun shop for almost eleven years and I can safely say that there are a bunch of people out there that don't need to own a firearm, let alone carry one. This has surprised and saddened me.
Need? Or are mentally responsible and mature enough to carry?
I do know what you mean, though, and agree.
People like you are the reason there are gun laws. If you think this way you are the problem.
Thank you. Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments to the Constitution) speaks of "rights". Back then before typewriters, words had a broader meaning. "Rights" were "obligations to do what is right". They wrote it that way so it could be applied forever into the future as the technology continued to advance. In our modern world, for most people it is not right or righteous to carry a weapon around with them. BTW, 1st Amendment requires us to speak righteously. We know it is not right to scream "fire" in a crowded theater and the Bill of Rights does not give GROUPS of citizens any rights at all, but various court cases over the years totally changed the meaning of it all. What is "right"? It is what you would want for you or yours in the same set of circumstances.... aka the Golden Rule.
@@SunriseLAW A few points/thoughts (not criticisms):
- We have had a printing press for long before the typewriter was developed. The existence of that media is irrelevant to "doing what is right" as you point out.
- The construct of "screaming fire in a theater" is one that local laws came up with and was asserted by the SCOTUS. It is not enumerated in the 1A itself. You are correct, though, in that "righteousness" should dictate proper behavior instead of needing laws to do so.
-The 1A, like all the other amendments, is a limitation on the government to prevent "Freedom of Religion. Press. Expression." So righteousness does not exactly come into play under the 1A.
- Righteousness is learned through a good family or religious upbringing... something that is lacking in most families today, in particular in two segments of the population.
- Who defines "righteousness"? My concern is that any definition of anything, leads to an avenue for corruption by whatever party is in power. We are seeing it with the 2A and the assault weapons bans around the country today, just as an example.
@@fleatactical7390 Excellent analysis, I sense we are generally on the same side. Our "founding fathers" can be thought of as the beatniks of the era... very idealistic, hyped on then-new coffee :):) writing stuff that is hard to apply in the real world because it assumes people are basically honest and empathetic. Most are, too many are not. As it relates to "guns", far too many people buy them who have no business owning them. They don't practice, they don't clean them, many people put them away in a drawer and almost forget they have them They are the #1 target of burglars and that just ain't right :)
I like how you "watch" the gun into the holster. Every time, even knowing it's empty.
Are you required to disarm when entering a U. S. Postal Office or public or private schools, Jason?
The post office for sure. Schools probably depend on the state.
Very informative video 👍🏾
Uh oh- I didn't see your "temple garment" when you were repositioning your pistol. Tisk tisk tisk.
When you pocket carry, do you have a round in the chamber? Dr. Will Dabbs, a physician in Mississippi and gun writer, does not pocket carry with a round in the chamber because the femoral artery is right there. Your thoughts? Thanks.
Carrying condition is a personal choice. Cocked and locked feels good for some, revolvers feel good for others, strikers without safeties carried live or “hot” is the highest risk category and some folks opt to carry them on an empty chamber and although it’s not ideal for a quick draw under immense stress, it does have the lowest likelihood of shooting your own artery.
I have to say that I was guilty of a few of those when I first started carrying. Great info for new owners
Noticed that you're left eye dominant - loved the video.
I understand your point about carrying with one in the chamber, but I don’t agree that in the heat of the moment you’ll just forget to rack it, especially if that’s how you always train. I live in Israel and almost nobody carries with one in the chamber, so racking the gun immediately after drawing is second nature.
My bad i thought i had subscribed a long time ago. Big fan of your videos! ✌️💯
You probably did... TH-cam likes to delete subscribers from channels they don't like. And they REALLY don't like gun channels.
I carry P365 loaded with the safety on and I practice that safety release with my draw over and over until it is second nature.
Great tips! Thank you!
Great training Jason. Thank you.
Jason I'd like to add that if you're going to pocket carry, make sure it's an exclusive dedicated pocket!
The question of carrying loaded or unloaded has plagued gun owners for years. I carry without a round in the chamber for safety. It is second nature to charge a round when I draw, and I can do it very quickly. Does this still pose a question as to why I should load?
Thank you - look at hundreds of videos from Israel. If you train seriously it becomes second nature and as fast
If you carry with an empty chamber there's a good chance you'll spend the rest of your life trying to get your gun loaded.
@@GinEric84there is way more chances of misfiring and accidentally shooting your femoral artery or penis if appendix carried…
Because I'm willing to bet you don't wait til your actively crashing to put a seat belt on. Let's be real here you probably aren't going to be fast enough in a real world situation. And before you say "but Israelis" you aren't idf.
@@kidvision564 How does such a misfire occur? You're walking around, driving in your car or whatever and BANG, you blow your dick off? How?
Some advice to help with the imprinting issue. Whatever size shirt you wear make sure you go with a brand that runs big like Carhartt for example. Or move up a shirt size. Another thing that helps is cross draw carry BUT if you’re gonna carry cross draw you must train with your holster in the cross draw position.
Great common sense video. Thanks

Do what you are comfortable with.
I still everyday carry my Glock 29 10mm without a round in the chamber. I have practiced and I can from appendix and rack the slide to chamber a round, and get a shot on target within 1.65 seconds...
Yeah I don't carry with a round in the chamber, yet, because I'm not comfortable with that yet. I dont like how Glocks don't have a traditional safety so I am taking it slow.
@@RNG-999 I got the Taurus G3C but I'm looking forward to upgrade To the Glock 19X And I prefer to keep one in the chamber but at the same time I want to get the hang of my firearm first before I think about doing that! That's the main thing I'm scared of is accidentally shooting myself in the leg or something So for now I just keep a full magazine in my firearm && go on about my day when I carry
@@Rjosephhh I almost always pocket carry cuz it's way easier to keep concealed and it stays on me but out of the way. Because of that, I go full mag but not chambered. If u practice good situational awareness, your never gonna end up in a situation in which 1 second is gonna help u. I follow the 21 foot rule. If anyone gets to within 21 feet of me, I have already accessed them and the situation before I allow anyone to get that close. This excuse of your not gonna have one hand free etc is bogus. A cop has to put himself within hand to hand combat range. Joe blow citizen does not. I believe that racking the slide gives me one more second to decide is deadly force justified as a last resort or am I just being trigger happy? As a carrier, you need to realize that u are introducing a live firearm into the situation everywhere u go whether or not u intend to use it and so u should be actively scanning your surroundings to protect both u, and it
Get some training immediately.
thanks for your wisdom. love your personal anecdotes
I agree with all 5 points except number 3. We train, train and train with dummy training rounds and dry chamber. For me, it's a last step in a line of safety.
Excellent tips, thank you
I live in Iowa, so we have open Carry statute which means we can carry concealed or unconcealed and it doesn’t matter if the gun is loaded or not. That’s the way all states should be.
Brand of holster please?
“You need to swallow your ego” “Someone flipping you off isn’t a gun situation”. I never knew that someone had to be told that but honestly, a lot of crazy carriers have been doing insane and immature shit like that while driving, which makes me nervous that anyone’s actually crazy enough to pull their gun to that and it drops my faith in humanity way low. I live in Indiana and they recently made the state Permit Free, where *anyone* can carry a firearm, CC or not and that honestly disturbs me as well as my uncle who’s literally a sheriff and former long served deputy.
This is the first video I have noticed that your are LDS. I would love to hear more about how that plays a part in your pro self defense mindset. I grew up LDS. Have not been involved in the church since I was in my late teens. I am 45 now. Never do I remember this topic ever being discussed. We did ration prep. My family was always pro self defense. However, I never remember this topic being discussed in any ward. I am very intrigued how these two mindsets collide.
i see that it is justified because you have the commandment to love your neighbor. your most immediate neighbor is your family one way to show your love is to protect them :)
Jason, have you ever had any issues when you're closing your one eye when you aim? I was always told to keep both eyes open so you have peripherals. In the beginning it was hard but now it's second nature.

Carrying an unloaded handgun is like paying for a trained guard dog and making it wear a muzzle in your house!

Jason, your channel is awesome man. You have a new subscriber here. I switched to pocket carry this summer. Appendix carry, while it’s a great way after 5 years just got to be to uncomfortable. Thanks to your videos I’m very comfortable concealing in the pocket. And with the p365 too.
I’ve carried everyday for the last 2.5 years, I’m way past the always touching phase… but recently I got a motorcycle, and carrying while riding takes me back to the touching phase. I’m always touching my ccw to make sure it’s still secured while I’m riding. It’s a very bad habit but I will overcome it with more experience
Shoulder holster seems like a great option for the bike.

Great points Jason. We’ve all started with various amounts of knowledge and experience, some with less than what we’d like to see. But this can help those on that lower end of the spectrum.
Your 1911 sure is a beauty. Something like that probably has a tuned trigger. For a gun like that, I would recommend not dropping the slide on an empty chamber. Doing this will damage the sear engagement and in turn cause hammer follow.
Thanks for your efforts and God Bless.
The debate on dropping the slide on a 1911 empty chamber is alive and well.
thank you for your video 😂😊
Only thing I disagree with is when you said if you're not carrying with a loaded firearm, don't even carry.
Sure, you might not have time to load in some circumstances, but that doesn't make it any better to be completely defenseless. At least in SOME instances, an unloaded firearm is no different as you may witness something happening slowly and have time to tap and rack.
The only time it may harm you is if you aren't used to it being unloaded and then forget to tap and rack when needed.
Otherwise, having something is better than having nothing at all.
You really need to watch some ASP.
My draw stroke is very fast, and it is important to have a fast draw stroke for two reasons.
1.) shit can go down VERY quickly and you need to be able to present your weapon as quickly as possible.
2.) bad guys don't go around wearing black hamburgler masks to let them know you're the bad guy, the less time it takes you to present and fire your weapon the more time you have to assess whether or not what you are facing is an actual threat.
In modern self-loading weapons the thing most likely to cause the gun to malfunction is you.
You try to pull your gun and rack the slide and use short stroke it You're going to hear the loudest sound you ever hear in your life, a click when you're expecting a bang then things are gonna go very badly for you.
If you don't feel comfortable caring a loaded weapon go and get reputable training until you do
