Main Topic:  Conceal Carry - Then & Now







Mindset: Then Vs Now







Remember back to before we carried - Our preconceived notions, etc… 







Zack: There weren’t a plethora of single stack carry guns back then. The LCP was newish, and snub revolvers were popular. I took a CCW class when I lived in Utah, but I qualified with a Makarov and a Walther P22, how things have changed.







Jake:







Used to listen to the Gun Dudes and dream about one day moving to a free state and being able to carry, because at that point, IL had ZERO hope for carry







Carry Setups: Then Vs Now







Zack: 







Guns & Holster: Daily is a Glock 43 in a Bravo Concealment holster. I also swab between a PJ Holster.







When I lose a bunch of weight I want to carry either P10s or P10c appendix.







Jake: 







Guns & Holster: 







Precarry license I actually mocked up a few setups, SCCY 9mm… in Alien Gear… Walther P22 in Crossbreed







Carry: Springfield XDS 4” 45ACP… in Alien Gear, then Stealth Gear…







Dress & Attire.. Then Verses Now







Zack 







Belt- Crossbreed classic gun belt or 5.11 trainers belt. Dress- Jeans and a t-shirt, IWB always so it usually is covered. 







Jake







Belt: Crossbreed double thick leather belt, Tactical Belt, Click-slide belt and back to Crossbreed. Dress: Always wore undershirt… to no undershirt in warm months… Always button down short and long sleeves, rarely wear a t-shirt as an outer when carrying. 







Safes Then Vs Now
