Minimum You Will Carry

[Bigkrackers]

I have been conceal carrying a G19 for a couple of years now. My biggest struggle has been to carry when "you don't need a gun". By that I mean mowing the lawn, a quick run to the corner gas station or just hanging around in the house playing Xbox with the kids. Generally this is in basketball shorts, sweats or cargo shorts. I find myself more and more over the years not wearing a gun in these situations, especially in the summer, and I want to change that. So, I'm very interested in what people are strapping on or putting in their pocket when wearing gym clothing or putzing around the house. Wheel guns are welcome as well.

My G19. All day, every day. Except at work. Its in my Active Shooter Response bag along with my armor, team wendy exfil helmet and some other things, but the only time I get to carry at work is if it hits the fan..... other wise its frowned up for Medics to be armed.

Around the house in gym shorts, sweatpants? DSG clip on for a J Frame or a G43. http://darkstargear.com/kydex-gear/aiwb/

I imagine the JM universal for the same guns would be similar. http://www.jmcustomkydex.com/p/IWBU.html

Are you trying to carry the G19 with gym shorts? I'm sure folks do it with success, but a G43 with a plus 2 mag extension is as heavy as I want it to get with gym shorts.

When I leave the house, it's a G19 in a JM AIWB.

Not unless I want those shorts around my ankles two seconds after walking out the door.

I don't know how people can carry a G19 in basketball shorts or running shorts. I must be doing something wrong although I will say I have not explored all the possible holster options whe a belt is not in the picture.

G42 in a DSG clip on or a pocket holster. Great grab and go combo for a short run out. If I'm wearing a belt a full sized gun comes along for the ride.

I don't wear gym shorts - so can't really help there. Philosophically - if I'm anywhere other than the campus I teach at, I carry. Home/mowing/bike rides/walks/running to the store, etc. I don't/won't frequent businesses (IL) that are posted, and I just do the drive through at the post office.

Brings up a good question - what do folks do who swim at the Y? I won't leave my g26 in a locker, and haven't figured out the Speedo carry yet:). It just stays in the locked safe in my truck while I'm left with my CRKT m16. Guess that's about the best I can do?

Glock 19 everywhere except running, then I reluctantly drop a J frame into my pocket.

Tried a 26 in a belly band for a while - tolerable but I could get to the pocket faster.

Situation dependant. Knife when gun is nogo, a rigid pen in foreign countries. Around the house, I carry or have gun within reach. At the gym, gun is in the car. I'm just not THAT dedicated to carry while Im doing squats.

Work hard to stick with the G19 because in that rare moment you may ever need a gun, you will want a handful of gun. I'm 98% G19 and to answer the question for the 2% that the G19 won't work, Ruger LCP .380.
