Podcast 284 Evolution of My EDC Guns

Click Here Get Notes by Email Today: I’ve been carrying a gun everyday now for over 20 years.  First as an armored car guard, then Marine in combat, then a Government Security contractor in Iraq and somewhere in there as a private citizen and a CHL. I’ve learned a lot in 20 years of carrying a gun.  Something work and some don’t.  But not only the gear, but also the mindset of what to carry and why.  Yes, I do a modular system and it works for me.  Use your mindset, threat analysis, and common sense to find what works for you and go for it!

Put it in my back pocket for years Then tried a revolver appendix, used a Taurus snub nose I had… cheap gun. Got a great deal on a Ruger LCR that I love and still use Went from appendix to pocket carry IT’s still the base of my EDC gun today Mindset change Probably not going to be in a rolling gun fight More realistic about my self defense Things I will carry all the time Being without a gun and other self defense tools is stupid, but sometimes you must Never know when the crack head is going to try and take you out But do know when I’m at hirer risk of running into a bad gun fight. Be realistic about your carry gun and threats   Thanks for listening, don’t forget to check out the Shooter’s Club, and if you need ammo check out Lucky Gunner.
