Keeping it lightweight and simple
I know the idea of keeping it simple may mean carrying a larger auto and no spare magazines for concealed carry, but my idea of keeping it simple is usually pocket carry. Sometimes people can go overboard with the CCW and even though you are well withing your right to carry a gun legally, if you are packing too much gear, there’s a pretty good chance you will eventually be outed or “made” by someone that you don’t really want to know what you are carrying. I have had atleast 2 times in my life where someone I barely knew, figured out real fast that something metal on my belt line, that wasn’t where my cell phone was. was there.
Every time you walk past someone in a close environment, there is a good chance you will get an “excuse me” and they will bump up against you. People don’t realize how often it actually occurs, but elevators stares, doorways ect, are known for bumpin. Carrying at social environments like business meetings is something that even more bumping can occur. Sounds funny, but I speak from experience. Sometimes I carry a Kahr K9 in 40 in one of my many Galco holsters that is an ankle holster. This is one of the best ways to avoid bumping and being made in a white collar or close quarters social environment. Find a good gun shop that allows you to try them on.
