Issues with carrying pocket CCW
I really hate to have to bring up some of these discussions because you don’t want to volunteer bad behavior stories to the anti-gun crowd, but I’m also not a fan of drunk drivers and people that talk on their cell phones while driving. My first experience in witnessing stupid CCW holders was when I met a guy that got his first CCW gun and it was a desert eagle 44 magnum. Do I really need to explain this one to you? I don’t know any police departments that would allow a cop to carry something like that in a urban environment and I’d have to question the level of training someone had before they thought to deploy a gun in that caliber. I think there would be more times that I would second guess taking a shot because I would be afraid the bullet was going to end up in the next city over.
When it comes to pocket carrying, there are now CCW pants that will help retain your firearm if you are laying down or need to lean back. I’ve seen guns fall out of holsters and they can fall out of pockets. I’ve lost pistol magazines because the mag holders didn’t work in horizontal positions. Don Hume holsters have a front pocket holster that is added security and will help keep pocket lint out of many parts of a gun. There is always a learning curve when it comes to CCW and you’ll find out real fast which clothing builds up lint faster. Holsters can help keep a gun reliable and prevent you from having to strip the gun down all the time because it’s getting cluttered with things that should not be in there.
