Conceal Carry Channel for Beginners

[Sturmruger]

I am starting a YouTube channel aimed at people that are new to Conceal carry. I am looking for topics that you might have liked to see when you first started carrying.

Explanation of term "Wally Walk" and the feelings that will come with it.

Here are some of the terms that would have been helpful to me:

AIWB; IWB; the different "o'clock" positions for carrying; pros and cons of Small Of the Back carry; shoulder carry; t-shirts with carry pouches; belly bands; ankle carry; why use "gun belts"; suppliers of different kinds of holsters and what the pros and cons of them (different types of holsters) are; carrying "one in the pipe" and why; clothing choices that aid CCW and those that do not help.

Just off the top of my head--hope it helps. I'll be sure to visit your site on YouTube!

Carrying "cocked & locked" condition one and only while keeping your finger off the bang switch re-holstering.

5. Understand "Reasonable Man" as it applies legally in all of the above.
6. Now you can start talking about actually strapping one on... and all the accoutrement...
6a. Gun safety Gun safety Gun safety

*special note: our state has preemption (and so may yours)... our Attorney General has issued an opinion that counties and municipalities need not pay any attention to that... and I don't have the funds nor the inclination to be the test case, even the winning one.

+1 but............shooting proficiency should be up there as number one. When I went to my cc class I'd been shooting IDPA, steel silhouette, Police marksman training, 3 gun tactical for years. It scared the hell out of me to see people pass the class that will end up shooting themselves or innocent bystanders because of their lack of proficiency with a handgun.

Your being mean, I like it....LOL...

How the "cant" of the holster can help or hurt printing. I carry a Springfield Champion SS 1911 with a 15 degree cant and have printing when I bend over. My IWB holster I'm waiting on will have a 25 degree cant for my Para Black Ops 1911 with a 5 inch barrel. A good gun belt.Shirt's that work best. Thar was easy for me, I either wear t-shirt's or a polo shirt and the polo work's the best. I was told because of my size 5'6 145 lbs that I couldn't carry a big gun and conceal it. Rechambering round's .My only issue was the shirt.

In this day and age I think would forego something like that even if you are dead on. What if for example Zimmerman saw a video like that and said that is why he thought his actions were appropriate. I would hate to leave myself open to a lawsuit from either party.

Training, practice, and muscle memory...why it's important.
