Kahr CM9 disappears in an IWB.  light enough even with surf shorts on, however, wouldn't do any running like that.  CCW fanny that I have, has a rear compartment with a pull tab to open quickly, while pistol is hidden when using the functional portion of the pack.

Use this pack daily, even without the pistol inside.  It's a great well made pack.

That belly band looks like it would be a hot sweaty nightmare in the jungle.

A lot of people use those when they're exercising.

Nope. If there is an active shooter, the first one they will look for is the open carry and take them out. For me concealed is the only way. I do it anyway when I feel a need to or during my walks. Better to be tried by 12 then carried by six....

I can see an LCP in a fanny pack being useful for trips to 711, but I'd rather have something with a little more grunt back in the bush. Plus I like the idea of letting it swing.

Speaking of which this is my other best friend in the jungle especially on those extra swampy days. I suppose it would also work for belly band rash but why go there?

No I would not. If I am carrying I don't want anyone to know it. Open carry as useful in a few types of situations but I would say for the vast majority concealed carry is ideal

I not only would, but I have.  Some states allow open carry without a permit, so if you don't have CCW authorization, it's an option.

If you aren't doing anything to draw attention to yourself, chances are, most people won't give your firearm a second look.

I have OWB holsters with great retention and a quick thumb release (Safariland ALS).  Make sure you consider your holster before deciding to openly carry a pistol.

I wish Hawaii would model their gun laws after Alaska - After all, we're 49th and 50th state buddies, right???

I have to travel to Alaska for work occasionally and quite like their approach.  I carry everywhere I'm legally allowed.

"Alaska's laws do not prohibit anyone 21 or older who may legally possess a firearm from carrying it concealed or open." - THIS is how it should be!

But we need to stop caring about other countries. Their laws mean squat to us.

Sure it would be nice to have some of the things they get there much easier, but at what cost? I'll still take the laws here in conjunction with the Constitution any day. As long as we have the "Right", its good. No other country has that. So until the void they Constitution (which they try to do), I'm good.

Ok fine.... Meanwhile in Texas, USA....

And finally.. Open carry vs conceal carry





In conclusion...
