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.

#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.

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
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
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
@@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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
“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.
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
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.
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
My first time ever seeing your channel and you may now be my favorite 2A styled channel bc you seem so, so chill, you just seem like a normal, non prejudice person. You just seem like a guy that likes guns and safety that just so happened to naked a TH-cam channel. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.
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
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)
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.
Tip # 6 open carry = target on you for the bad guy. If I were the bad guy I’m eliminating the most obvious threats first. . Been concealed carry for many years. Thankfully never had to use it and hopefully never will, but if needed to will have the tools necessary to defend myself
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
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.
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 your channel and content. Please ask your sound guy to turn down the sound effects volume. They are distracting. I watch the channel to hear your advice, not to get overwhelmed with sound effects.
I'm always touching my pockets to make sure I have my keys and my wallet because there have been so many times when I've locked my keys in my car or gone to the grocery store without my wallet. I wonder if people think I'm 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.
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
I carry owb all the time with 2 magazine. Love how people want to smart off about my glock . I keep walking and smiling, I am a native of Georgia, only had someone try to start something last week with me when they seen my gun on my side . They walked away. I always have 1 in the chamber. I got my training when I was 8 years old with a 12 gauge shotgun and grow up in the woods with a 33 riffle ans a glock on my side. I'm 46 years old . I have had enough training
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
@@STAYWOKE000 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 carry mostly for road rage protection. Too many willing to exit their vehicles and approach. I have had to draw once in 12 years and as many incidents. It worked Attacker shrunk and fled as I opened my door and stood in the door slot.
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.
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
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.
All excellent tips. Your title talks about “landing one in jail”. I did not see anything that would land me in jail. (Other than carrying open in a state that doesn’t allow open carry).
So many so-called professionals saying you have to carry one in a chamber, but the biggest thing is you have to practice practice practice if you practice with one, not in a chamber as your pulling gun up you’re racking that slide. You don’t have to have one in the chamber the so-called professionals it says you do they don’t pay attention to what’s around them and what’s going on.
I'm in Florida and I kind of like the front pocket idea. There's no way I'm wearing any kind of jacket. Although t-shirts can be oversized. And I'm thinking about the front belt interior holster idea. Because technically your pockets should be for your own stuff that we normally do and carry. LOL
Yes, but in Utah (I also have non-resident Utah carry permit even though I live in New Jersey) you have to carry unloaded which by Utah definition is non-chambered (in New Jersey regardless of chamber situation any magazine with ammunition in pistol is loaded gun). I believe this exactly part of Utah CCW training on legal concealed carry. Anything changed? Home is different. I always keep at least one loaded in proper holster and secured if not carrying on my property. But in public with special permits one has to follow what license requires.
I never understood that either, The gun community that are 2nd amendment supporters love the police. It's no different than being a LGBTQ activist and supporting Palestine.
I’ve been in soooo many situations where a lot of people would have drawn and luckily I was intelligent enough not to, especially since I’m in nys. Never pull it unless you intend to use it.
I just got back from visiting my family in Florida. You underestimated the temp and humidity. It was way hotter than 150 degrees and the humidity level was much higher than ten gazillion percent. Just wanted to mention bc accuracy is important. Lol I cannot believe my daughter is talking me into moving there. I’m screwed.
You'll get use to it...... sort'ive....lol. The western coast at least has a nice breeze.... My daughter lives in the middle of the State and there is much less of the ocean breeze there.
FYI the record temperature in history has never reached more than 98 in Florida. Even with heat index it rarely reaches 115 in some areas. Jason was just making a point and “gazillion” reference points
@@kidvision564 so in Utah you can open carry, but if you conceal carry and someone can tell that you have a gun under your shirt you can be arrested? Yeah, that makes sense.
@@It_Puts_The_Lotion_On_Its_SkinIf you don't like your own commits, why should anyone else like them? Wouldn't that be the same as running for an office, and voting for tje other person?
Why are you closing your right eye when you aim? (6.35 and 6.42) Limiting your field of view increases the risk that you'll not see additional bad guys.
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.
You can still print when pocket carrying there exlax, also IMO appendix carry is another way to carry that minimizes printing. The rest of your info is good!
I’ve had a CCW instructor proclaim that he carried his concealed handgun in Condition 3, saying he wants to give his assailant every opportunity to back down as chambering a round would show the court that he had no intention to eagerly shoot anyone. Although I could see a point in his logic, his idea of how a gunfight would occur may not go as planned. An example of this would be getting ambushed by an assailant with a crowbar or baseball bat, and getting his off-arm broken while defensively blocking the strike. With a broken arm, it’s going to be difficult to rack the slide of his pistol. One could always employ other methods to one-handedly manipulate the slide, but practicing such techniques before the gunfight would be prudent and, overall, just best to carry Condition One to avoid having to do so. 🤷🏻♂️

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
@@WheelgunsOnWheelslol!
So many DON'T dos!!!
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.
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.
'break in'?!
Kydex is the way
@@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
@@TechnicallyJustinwhat is that person shoots you in the back because you made yourself a target during their robbery?
Please tell me your joking smh. Why would anyone wear an empty holster? Yall are goofy as hell
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.
Open Carrie just tells the bad guys to kill me first!

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.
Thank you for the educational video
7:28 😂
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.
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 :)
Duluth trading has long tail tees that are 3" longer than normal, and they also come in loose fit
Exactly.
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 would love to go to your ranch and learn more about guns and other things you seem to be a great teacher.
The moment you said you carry with one in the pipe you got my like 👍🏻
For some reason, I just don’t believe his LDS story.
He's from VA and they like using WV people for their stories.
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.
Great content, thanks for sharing
“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.
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
Uh oh- I didn't see your "temple garment" when you were repositioning your pistol. Tisk tisk tisk.
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.
Living in UK this is utterly bizarre
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
And that is why tyranny is overtaking the UK. The citizens aren’t armed.
Jason I'd like to add that if you're going to pocket carry, make sure it's an exclusive dedicated pocket!
My first time ever seeing your channel and you may now be my favorite 2A styled channel bc you seem so, so chill, you just seem like a normal, non prejudice person.
You just seem like a guy that likes guns and safety that just so happened to naked a TH-cam channel. Really enjoyed this video.
Thank you for sharing.
I found that kidney position under a baggy Hawaiian shirt won’t print-nor does an ankle holster under loose-fitting denim pants…
I have the same SS and also live in Utah. Great gun and so glad I returned to Utah from California.
Carrying an unloaded handgun is like paying for a trained guard dog and making it wear a muzzle in your house!
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
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)
Letting it go is paramount. Not easy but necessary
7:40 I agree but a egotistical / preemptive tap every 2 minutes won’t hurt 😭

Some of the most sensible advice I've heard regarding concealed carry.
I like how you "watch" the gun into the holster. Every time, even knowing it's empty.
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.
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
Tip # 6 open carry = target on you for the bad guy. If I were the bad guy I’m eliminating the most obvious threats first. . Been concealed carry for many years. Thankfully never had to use it and hopefully never will, but if needed to will have the tools necessary to defend myself
I'm a Black Latter-Day saint. I guess I won't be training in West Virginia.
Don't believe his fake WV racist story. He's from VA and they always try making WVians look bad.
I have to say that I was guilty of a few of those when I first started carrying. Great info for new owners
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
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.
Great training Jason. Thank you.
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 your channel and content. Please ask your sound guy to turn down the sound effects volume. They are distracting. I watch the channel to hear your advice, not to get overwhelmed with sound effects.
I'm always touching my pockets to make sure I have my keys and my wallet because there have been so many times when I've locked my keys in my car or gone to the grocery store without my wallet. I wonder if people think I'm 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.
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
I carry owb all the time with 2 magazine. Love how people want to smart off about my glock . I keep walking and smiling, I am a native of Georgia, only had someone try to start something last week with me when they seen my gun on my side . They walked away. I always have 1 in the chamber. I got my training when I was 8 years old with a 12 gauge shotgun and grow up in the woods with a 33 riffle ans a glock on my side. I'm 46 years old . I have had enough training
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
@@STAYWOKE000 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.
Excellent tips, thank you
Very good video with the emphasis on de-escalation and swallowing your pride/ego.
I carry mostly for road rage protection. Too many willing to exit their vehicles and approach. I have had to draw once in 12 years and as many incidents. It worked Attacker shrunk and fled as I opened my door and stood in the door slot.

Great show ❤ I'm all of those bad points so I leave my gun at home.😁
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.
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.
thank you for the advice.👍
Thank you for this video man.
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
He carries 1911 which can drop fire.
What happens if he drops his gun and it discharges?
thanks for your wisdom. love your personal anecdotes
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.

All excellent tips. Your title talks about “landing one in jail”. I did not see anything that would land me in jail. (Other than carrying open in a state that doesn’t allow open carry).
Great reminders! Thanks!🙏
So many so-called professionals saying you have to carry one in a chamber, but the biggest thing is you have to practice practice practice if you practice with one, not in a chamber as your pulling gun up you’re racking that slide. You don’t have to have one in the chamber the so-called professionals it says you do they don’t pay attention to what’s around them and what’s going on.
All good pointers. Thx
I'm in Florida and I kind of like the front pocket idea. There's no way I'm wearing any kind of jacket. Although t-shirts can be oversized. And I'm thinking about the front belt interior holster idea. Because technically your pockets should be for your own stuff that we normally do and carry. LOL
TY J., good stuff, i need to train more, God bless !!!
Really good message! Thank you
Yes, but in Utah (I also have non-resident Utah carry permit even though I live in New Jersey) you have to carry unloaded which by Utah definition is non-chambered (in New Jersey regardless of chamber situation any magazine with ammunition in pistol is loaded gun). I believe this exactly part of Utah CCW training on legal concealed carry. Anything changed? Home is different. I always keep at least one loaded in proper holster and secured if not carrying on my property. But in public with special permits one has to follow what license requires.
Back the blue when they arrest you, enforcing laws to criminalize self defense?
I’ve never understood that either.
After all, cops do make a lot of laws. Mope.
@@robburns3393 they are worse than the politicians writing dumb because. Oath breakers.
I never understood that either, The gun community that are 2nd amendment supporters love the police. It's no different than being a LGBTQ activist and supporting Palestine.
Its joyous to see the public school system doing such a fine job.
I’ve been in soooo many situations where a lot of people would have drawn and luckily I was intelligent enough not to, especially since I’m in nys. Never pull it unless you intend to use it.
I just got back from visiting my family in Florida. You underestimated the temp and humidity. It was way hotter than 150 degrees and the humidity level was much higher than ten gazillion percent. Just wanted to mention bc accuracy is important. Lol I cannot believe my daughter is talking me into moving there. I’m screwed.

Thanks!
You're printing pretty good in your pocket carry
Why are you closing your right eye when you aim? (6.35 and 6.42) Limiting your field of view increases the risk that you'll not see additional bad guys.
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.
You can still print when pocket carrying there exlax, also IMO appendix carry is another way to carry that minimizes printing. The rest of your info is good!
Nice video I really enjoyed the good advice
Great Video Jason!
Thank You!! 🇺🇸💪✝️☝️
Great tips, thanks
Respect here in Canada I carry open, can carry tactical pens or baton, police even let me carry dog spray/pepper spray
Excellent video!
I’ve had a CCW instructor proclaim that he carried his concealed handgun in Condition 3, saying he wants to give his assailant every opportunity to back down as chambering a round would show the court that he had no intention to eagerly shoot anyone. Although I could see a point in his logic, his idea of how a gunfight would occur may not go as planned. An example of this would be getting ambushed by an assailant with a crowbar or baseball bat, and getting his off-arm broken while defensively blocking the strike. With a broken arm, it’s going to be difficult to rack the slide of his pistol. One could always employ other methods to one-handedly manipulate the slide, but practicing such techniques before the gunfight would be prudent and, overall, just best to carry Condition One to avoid having to do so. 🤷🏻♂️
If you are caring unloaded don’t carry at all 💯🗣️!!
No doubt, it's best to carry with one in the pipe, but it's better to have an unloaded gun than no gun at all.
