carrying without holster

I was wanting to know if anyone has carried without a holster. Money is tight right now and i don't have a holster for my glock 30 but i want to carry it. The other day i carried it just stuck in my belt for a little while (not chambered). It wasn't as uncomfortable as i thought it would be.

Has anyone else done this. Is it a bad idea. And are there any tips till i get a holster.

bad idea, especially with a glock (no safety) your shirt or something could get in the trigger guard.

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but dont you HAVE to use a holster for CC atleast in Ohio?

I personally think it's a bad idea. Anything can happen. You could probably get like an Uncle Mike's of something similar for like $10. That's like a coke a day for a week. That'll get you by until money loosens up a bit.

very BAD idea. I don't know your situation exactly, but Uncle Mike's holsters are about $12. And even as hard as $12 may be able to spend for some people, it's much cheaper than having an incident with your firearm. Good luck.

I agree. I'd NEVER do that. It's a terrible idea to carry without a proper holster

I carried a G26 without a holster for about 3 months,..although it did have a Clipdraw attached to it. I never felt unsafe or felt the need to be extra cautious.

The only issue was that the 26 shifted position quite frequently, which led me to purchase a holster.

I seem to remember an incident in the news of a guy walking around with a Glock in his jeans/sweatpants...

two very bad ideas.
Get a holster. and a gun not ready for your defence is a club.

when you get a good holster, carry one in the pipe.

No. Very dangerous. Especially with a Glock. I think the clip draw is an awful idea for the Glock as well, for the same reasons. A snag or a wayward poke from anything can = BOOM.
