5 Concealed Carry Mistakes That Could Put You in Jail

Ego is so dangerous. It's mention could never be overstated.

[@zubenelgenubi]

Jason, that "pocket holster" with a "pocket pistol" may be concealed, but just the difficulty you had getting out of your pocket should be a major wake-up to just how useless pocket-carry can be!

#2, since I began carry concealed at age 21, it's made me a lot more level-headed, and less inclined to get angry or react since I know the consequences of escalation come with a lot of weight. In all the years since I have only leveled a firearm against someone once, and it resulted in the guy running away. As for #3, my EDC of choice is a Ruger LCP. No safety mech, but a somewhat heavy trigger pull means it's pretty much not needed and I feel comfortable carrying chambered. Good video!

[@gordocojones]

It honestly had the same effect on me. Apparently you and I actually do get them for self defense rather than as an extension of our egos?

You gave the CORRECT answer. As a fmr LEO, we would fish all the time. If that query was answered with, "It's loaded in case I need to blow someone's head off..." then the line of questioning would continue and go a different way. As it was, you came off knowing what you were carrying and why. Don't believe he was looking for a specific answer, just needing an answer to ascertain where to go next. Don't know the circumstances, just a thought. Retired now, and it's too hot where I live to conceal carry, so open carry is the rule, not exception. I've been asked 'fishing' questions by cops a couple of times. The answer I give is, well, no other way to put it except Mature. Never had more than one query from a cop at any one time. Even traffic stops, I give my DL and CCW. They'll ask if I have it on. " Yep, 3 o'clock open," is the answer. An, "OK, thanks," is usually the reply. However, you were in Cali so hats off to you bro for having an ever so brief encounter with the police!

[@jsldj]

@@r.f.pennington746 Not so brief. They arrested me for CCW and put me in detention for 20 hours before releasing me on OR. I thought I might beat the rap after showing them my old CCW permit from GA, but not. After court, I got time served and 500 hrs community service. And my 30 year old Tanfoglio Giuseppe .380 was melted down. Could have been worse.

[@r.f.pennington746]

@@jsldj My bad for misunderstanding that you walked away, without incident. Yes, it could have been worse (but, melting down a TG .380 IS getting pretty bad!). Sorry for your loss. Leads to another thread: we tend to stay out of un-friendly places such as Cali, NJ, NY, Chicago, you name it. If I need to see something there, I Google an image of what I need to see. My 'cop days' were 1979-1993. Still revolvers w/o body armour. We didn't freak when someone stepped out of the car at a traffic stop. We never feared pulling a car over for speeding, didn't lose our minds if someone had a pistol in the glove box. People didn't yell at us. Life went on. Different times!

[@BlackMamba-ec4dn]

As a federal law enforcement officer in the US Coast Guard, we trained to carry loaded obviously. I retired and retrained myself to carry without one in the hole, and some ask why? 1. I’m no longer a law enforcement officer dealing with Cartel smugglers or other dangerous felons who I can change their living conditions in a matter of minutes. 2. It gives me a chance to think rationally. I’ve never had to pull my weapon while walking around in South Florida as a civilian. Driving in Miami everyday you get the middle finger waves while they cut you off in traffic, doesn’t phase me, but some people down here will shoot at you if you play the game with them and wave your gun. I’m just too smart to get baited into that. 3. A lot of police officers carry off duty and fatally injure themselves or their own family members. accidentally. If it isn’t loaded, those things won’t happen. For home defense, I’m locked and loaded at night before bedtime, and I put that Desert Eagle back in the safe first thing in the morning, it’s never unloaded. When I leave the house I carry my GLOCK 19 and throw an extra mag in my pocket. I train that way at the range, so in one motion I rack that round when I pull it. I carry that GLOCK, so I don’t have to worry about a safety. I do know that some people have been shot and killed with a loaded weapon in their hand and the safety engaged. “TRAIN THE WAY YOU CARRY”

[@honeyboy3rd]

Thanx 4sharing...gr8 wisdom

[@MMA.Jake.]

3. Can you provide some statistics on that? Also you stated you have never pulled your gun, look into the average time between the need to pull a gun and when the first shot goes down. If your not carrying one in the chamber your not confident enough in your responsibility as a EDC civilian and probably shouldn’t be carrying or need to be training more.

Great video. I see alot of people carrying concealed especially with more states that have constitutional carry. I have to inform them the difference between a CCW and constitutional carry. Constitutional Carry allow you to carry within the state but not cross state line into a neighboring state. A CCW will allow you to travel into reciprocal states that honors the CCW. Also, conceal carry in not open carry. God bless.

I live in Indiana and they recently made the state Permit Free, where *anyone* can carry a firearm, CC or not and that honestly disturbs me as well as my uncle who’s literally a sheriff and former long served deputy.

I'm in Florida and I kind of like the front pocket idea. There's no way I'm wearing any kind of jacket. Although t-shirts can be oversized. And I'm thinking about the front belt interior holster idea. Because technically your pockets should be for your own stuff that we normally do and carry. LOL

[@Dennisthemenace40]

Great points Jason. We’ve all started with various amounts of knowledge and experience, some with less than what we’d like to see. But this can help those on that lower end of the spectrum. Your 1911 sure is a beauty. Something like that probably has a tuned trigger. For a gun like that, I would recommend not dropping the slide on an empty chamber. Doing this will damage the sear engagement and in turn cause hammer follow. Thanks for your efforts and God Bless.

[@stevenwilkinson8373]

I've worked in a gun shop for almost eleven years and I can safely say that there are a bunch of people out there that don't need to own a firearm, let alone carry one. This has surprised and saddened me.

Need? Or are mentally responsible and mature enough to carry? I do know what you mean, though, and agree.

[@KNIGHTJUMPS]

People like you are the reason there are gun laws. If you think this way you are the problem.

[@SunriseLAW]

Thank you. Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments to the Constitution) speaks of "rights". Back then before typewriters, words had a broader meaning. "Rights" were "obligations to do what is right". They wrote it that way so it could be applied forever into the future as the technology continued to advance. In our modern world, for most people it is not right or righteous to carry a weapon around with them. BTW, 1st Amendment requires us to speak righteously. We know it is not right to scream "fire" in a crowded theater and the Bill of Rights does not give GROUPS of citizens any rights at all, but various court cases over the years totally changed the meaning of it all. What is "right"? It is what you would want for you or yours in the same set of circumstances.... aka the Golden Rule.

[@fleatactical7390]

@@SunriseLAW A few points/thoughts (not criticisms): - We have had a printing press for long before the typewriter was developed. The existence of that media is irrelevant to "doing what is right" as you point out. - The construct of "screaming fire in a theater" is one that local laws came up with and was asserted by the SCOTUS. It is not enumerated in the 1A itself. You are correct, though, in that "righteousness" should dictate proper behavior instead of needing laws to do so. -The 1A, like all the other amendments, is a limitation on the government to prevent "Freedom of Religion. Press. Expression." So righteousness does not exactly come into play under the 1A. - Righteousness is learned through a good family or religious upbringing... something that is lacking in most families today, in particular in two segments of the population. - Who defines "righteousness"? My concern is that any definition of anything, leads to an avenue for corruption by whatever party is in power. We are seeing it with the 2A and the assault weapons bans around the country today, just as an example.

[@SunriseLAW]

@@fleatactical7390 Excellent analysis, I sense we are generally on the same side. Our "founding fathers" can be thought of as the beatniks of the era... very idealistic, hyped on then-new coffee :):) writing stuff that is hard to apply in the real world because it assumes people are basically honest and empathetic. Most are, too many are not. As it relates to "guns", far too many people buy them who have no business owning them. They don't practice, they don't clean them, many people put them away in a drawer and almost forget they have them They are the #1 target of burglars and that just ain't right :)

You can still print when pocket carrying there exlax, also IMO appendix carry is another way to carry that minimizes printing. The rest of your info is good!

[@maciekskontakt]

Yes, but in Utah (I also have non-resident Utah carry permit even though I live in New Jersey) you have to carry unloaded which by Utah definition is non-chambered (in New Jersey regardless of chamber situation any magazine with ammunition in pistol is loaded gun). I believe this exactly part of Utah CCW training on legal concealed carry. Anything changed? Home is different. I always keep at least one loaded in proper holster and secured if not carrying on my property. But in public with special permits one has to follow what license requires.

[@Nuke8401DaveE]

Another great video. I carry a LW Commander (DW Vigil) IWB (summer Special) most of the time. The 1911 experts are going to go crazy on you for dropping the slide on an empty chamber even though there is no testing or data out there that I can find saying it will damage the gun.

[@Dennisthemenace40]

Actually, dropping the slide on a GI type 1911 with generous sear engagement is probably not going to hurt it. However, on a finely tuned example, like the one Jason is sharing with us, can indeed damage the sear. This can induce hammer follow, a dangerous situation.

[@Ogrematic]

Yes, it does. There are studies.

The question of carrying loaded or unloaded has plagued gun owners for years. I carry without a round in the chamber for safety. It is second nature to charge a round when I draw, and I can do it very quickly. Does this still pose a question as to why I should load?

[@kidvision564]

Thank you - look at hundreds of videos from Israel. If you train seriously it becomes second nature and as fast

This is the first video I have noticed that your are LDS. I would love to hear more about how that plays a part in your pro self defense mindset. I grew up LDS. Have not been involved in the church since I was in my late teens. I am 45 now. Never do I remember this topic ever being discussed. We did ration prep. My family was always pro self defense. However, I never remember this topic being discussed in any ward. I am very intrigued how these two mindsets collide.

Ex LDS here. We were frequently told by clergy that anyone who is of another faith is against us and "anti".
