Main Topic:  Conceal Carry – Then & Now

Mindset: Then Vs Now

Remember back to before we carried – Our preconceived notions, etc… 

Zack: There weren’t a plethora of single stack carry guns back then. The LCP was newish, and snub revolvers were popular. I took a CCW class when I lived in Utah, but I qualified with a Makarov and a Walther P22, how things have changed.

Jake:

Used to listen to the Gun Dudes and dream about one day moving to a free state and being able to carry, because at that point, IL had ZERO hope for carry

Carry Setups: Then Vs Now

Zack: 

Guns & Holster: Daily is a Glock 43 in a Bravo Concealment holster. I also swab between a PJ Holster.

When I lose a bunch of weight I want to carry either P10s or P10c appendix.

Jake: 

Guns & Holster: 

Precarry license I actually mocked up a few setups, SCCY 9mm… in Alien Gear… Walther P22 in Crossbreed

Carry: Springfield XDS 4” 45ACP… in Alien Gear, then Stealth Gear…

Dress & Attire.. Then Verses Now

Zack 

• Belt- Crossbreed classic gun belt or 5.11 trainers belt. 
• Dress- Jeans and a t-shirt, IWB always so it usually is covered. 

Jake

• Belt: Crossbreed double thick leather belt, Tactical Belt, Click-slide belt and back to Crossbreed. 
• Dress: Always wore undershirt… to no undershirt in warm months… Always button down short and long sleeves, rarely wear a t-shirt as an outer when carrying. 

Safes Then Vs Now

Zack: Before, just a Sentry gun locker, now a full IronMan Safe 
Jake: 

Barska Fingerprint safe

Routines Then Vs Now
Zack: Don’t carry as much as I should, always have a gun with me at the office and carry pistol in car. Use the Hornady safe.
