Your Guide to Carrying a Concealed Weapon
In the United States, there are several states that allow individuals to carry concealed firearms without first applying for a permit. If you live in one of these states and wish to carry a gun with you, these tips will help you to stay safe and be prepared for any potential issues.
Choose Your Clothing Carefully
Even if carrying a concealed weapon is legal in your state, having the outline of a gun show through your shirt or pants will make the people around you uncomfortable. It is best to opt for loose-fitting clothing that offers full coverage. The best clothes for concealed carry have multiple pockets or holsters that will allow you to carry your weapon discreetly and comfortably.
Don’t Use Your Weapon Unless It’s Absolutely Necessary
Although you have the right to defend yourself in a situation when your life or the lives of others are at stake, you should assess your options and use your gun only as a last resort. If tensions around you are escalating and you sense that physical violence may be imminent, the smartest, most prudent thing that you can do is to leave and call the police.
Carry Another Self-Defense Tool
Most conflicts can be solved without a gun. If you find yourself dealing with a belligerent drunk or being chased by an animal, a can of pepper spray will help you to defend yourself much more easily and without lethal consequences. Plus, an extra tool will allow you to defend yourself in an establishment that does not allow guns.
By taking precautions to make sure your gun remains concealed, exercising self-control and good judgment and being prepared with an additional, non-lethal self-defense tool, you will be able to carry a concealed weapon responsibly and effectively. Choose your weapon carefully, and be sure to stay alert.…
