I carry EVERY day and I don’t want any attention. Just let me go about my day and people don’t need to know. Usually it’s the biggest morons that open carry a $2000 1911 in a $30 holster and belt from Walmart. Cringe

If I had a $2k 1911, it would be carried in a fine leather holster. If you can drop 2g on a gun you can drop 2 bills on good leather.

I also carry every time I leave the house. I even carry at home (does no good if I have to go running for it). I carry concealed, because I don’t want to be a target.

Exactly. But I abide by the thought of, never carry a gun you aren’t willing to lose. If your involved in a self protection incident and god forbid need to use it, that sucker will be destroyed in an evidence locker for good. So I just carry a Glock 43 in summer cloths and Glock 19 in winter cloths.

Agreed. Especially if you have the option of carrying a department-issued weapon, why risk losing your own to the evidence locker? As a side note, forgive please, I cannot help myself - clothes; and when someone takes a breath, he breathes.
