I want to talk off-body CCW today because it really is one of the preps that I talk about from time to time, but it really has made gun ownership and concealed carry fundamentally, like, viable for me. Like, I don't know that it would work for me in the way that I wanted to work if I didn't carry off-body sometimes. I don't know how many people carry off-body.

And what I mean by that is just not on your, not on a whole body. holster on your body you know there's cross-body packs there's backpacks there's you know fanny packs there's i use sling bags almost exclusively they're my favorite for day-to-day stuff if i'm if i'm and the sling bag for me is more than just a concealed carry option but it's it gives you the ability to well it gives you all kinds of abilities i mean it gives you the ability to not have a gun on your person should you need to go to a place where you know you can't go with a gun for me that's school almost every day right now truth be told i could wander onto the school yard with the gun on my hip no one would be none the wiser right alarm's not going to go off

nobody's going to get hurt it's a non-issue right um but you know to follow the rules to do the right thing to show your kids that you're doing the right thing and that kind of of stuff having a concealed carry weapon carried off body is it's an easy way to sort of shift in and out of those kind of scenarios right maybe you go to a workplace maybe you go to this that the other thing whatever it is and you don't want to have the gun on your purse the reason that I think off body concealed carry is such a big difference maker is because we err on the side of comfort inconvenience. That's what the human animal does. And I feel like people leave a gun. I feel like people say, I'll carry the gun after work. I'll carry the gun once I get home and

get all this done. I'll carry, you know what I mean? Off-body concealed carry is also great when you are not wearing as many clothes. Right? So if you're doing a thing, like one of the, one of the most common ways I off-body concealed carry is fishing. Like I don't want to walk or around. I don't want to get my gun wet. Sometimes I'm waist deep in water fishing. I don't want to have my gun underwater, all that kind of stuff. I put it in the sling bag. I can take my shirt off if it's a hot day. I don't have some gun tucked in my waistband. Not that, you know, I'm running into a bunch of people, but just the whole thing. Off body, I can leave the bag. If I'm going in a real deep hole, I can hold the bag up over my head and cross the river. I can, you know, all kinds of

things. I don't have to cross the river with a handgun in my hand. You know, like getting looks. It's not just about following rules. Sometimes it's about practicality. It just gives you another option. You should have a bag. You should have some way of carrying your firearm off body to give you that sort of flexibility. Do you know what I mean? And if it, and if it, which it will, if it turns into you carrying the gun more often, then it's a win, right? If it turns into you carrying the weapon more often, more regularly, you're more regularly armed and protected, then it's a win, okay? The only other part of that tip is you got to find a bag where your gun can fit safely. It doesn't have to be a special concealed carry compartment designed it just for, you know, people to be able to carry.

their firearm in just this way and just this special CCW secret hidden pocket, right? It's not really necessary, but you do need, you know, something along those lines. I carry mine in the back of a fishing bag and a small pocket in a fishing bag right now in a holster. And it's perfect, right? It's perfect. The bag is very easy to get to. It's, or the gun rather, is very easy to get to.

The sling bag shifts from the back of my body to the front of my body. Boom. got access just a zipper away and obviously you got to practice right you got to practice taking that gun out from that pocket so that you're proficient with it get yourself an off body concealed carry option okay folks i think that's important talk to you soon
