About SD Carry

As a young boy in Texas, I grew up with guns. They were basic tools, much like my grandfather's mitre box or pipe wrench, there to perform specific tasks when called upon. I was taught gun safety by virtually every male adult in my family. I spent eight years in the US Navy operating and maintaing various guns from .30 caliber to 5" rifles.

After a few years as a moderator on a popular gun forum, I learned that there is much disinformation, prejudice and plain ignorance about guns posted constantly on the internet.

This blog is dedicated to sharing worthwhile information about the increasing acceptance and practice of legal concealed carry in our country. There is much mis-information and wild opinion about this topic among its practitioners and the public in general. The moral, social and legal responsibilities of concealed carry are immense and must be understood and practiced by all who legally carry a gun.

There is also a vast amount of practical and useful information about carrying and the weapons themselves and I hope to be able to share some of that here. Your comments are welcome, but will be moderated by me before appearing on this blog.

Stay safe.

Myth Busting: Non-traditional Carry Positions

Cruising through some gun forums focused on defensive or self defense use of handguns, I saw a few posts that asked questions like, how do you carry? Now, as some of you know, I'm not locked into one particular position, but I do tend to favor cross draw and appendix carry because I'm not on my feet all day. I'm sitting, standing, sitting, walking, sitting. In the car. Out of the car. You know the drill. I find carrying in front of my body is more comfortable and provides both easy access when sitting and my gun is more protectable - less vulnerable from detection whether in a crowd or from someone at a social event from bumping into me, or from an attempted snatch.

I discovered a video by Rob Pincus that demonstrates very well the advantages, and, get ready for it, safety inherent in appendix carry. I would say this also applies to cross draw.

Take a look at the video and draw your own conclusions.
