| An ankle hoster works great for slacks. on a skirt it is more tricky, you can do a back holster or like I do an inside thigh holster. there are also rib holster that you can wear with skirts if the shirt isn't to fitted. you gun is no good to you if it is stuck in your purse. |

Both are great resources. Any old purse won't do. Get one specific for concealed carry and practice drawing from anything you plan to use at the range until you're proficient. |

Location: Texas | I have a cross breed holster that clips on the inside of your pants or skirt. Make sure that you get leather and not plastic. |

Location: Tennessee | I carry a Sig P238 .380 all day every day. I carry concealed in my waist band between the 5 and 6 o'clock position. There are days I have to wear slacks and it works just fine. I have a Blackhawk IWB. My wife carries a Smith& Wesson M&P 9c, so it's a little bigger and heavier than the .380, so requires a different type of holster. She used to carry a Remora holster, and liked it ok. The only problem she had with the Remora is if she wore jogging pants or something similar that was a bit looser. Now she carries a Theis holster and absolutely loves it. http://theisholsters.com/ |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | A belly band might work for skirts and slacks with no rigid waistband. I have one that I use when I jog and it's very secure. I usually carry a .38 or .380 in it and it's perfect for me. There are a lot of different options in materials for them, too. So, you can find one that's comfortable for you. I have one that's mesh. Whatever you choose, be sure to practice with it, tho. |

I didn't see this before I posted... That pistol pouch is just like the belly band I mentioned. That one looks very comfortable, I might order one !

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | lindseylou2290 - 2014-05-21 3:09 PM albertacowgirl - 2014-05-21 2:00 PM Just out of curiosity: do you guys really honestly think it's necessary to carry a weapon? I know it's totally different up here in Canada, but the thought of doing that seems a bit much to me. yes. I have protected myself twice with it since I got my permit three years ago. If you'd like details please PM me : )
I've carried concealed my entire life. I've only had to draw my weapon twice. Once when a man approached me while I was inspecting a vacant house, he had no right to be on the property. And the other time to shoot a pit bull that was attacking me. So yes, it is worth carrying even if you never have to use it.
I always tell people to shy away from carrying in a purse. Good luck getting that gun out in some situations that you may need it, and if someone snatches your purse....well...
Google the heck out of it and I bet you can come up with quite a few options. Look at the 5.11 tactical gear. They make tank tops and regular shirts that have a carry pocket. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I won't use a purse, too easy to loose in a fight and takes too long to get one out. I know they have ones that can strap to your thigh...just not sure how that would work. Would need a garter belt to keep it up lol

When we are out in the country I don't feel a need but when we go into the jungle of the big city...yes.
We are too close to the border not to have protection. My concealed carry is 5'9" and he goes every where with me..LOL

Yes, it is necessary. I live 10 minutes from the border. On base, I can see the border fence. The part of Arizona I live in is highly influenced with gang and cartel activity. The unemployment rate here is the highest in the entire country which causes issues in itself. The crime rate is through the roof. There are multiple shootings daily. You can't go anywhere without being in one gang or anothers 'territory' and they don't care who you are. If you are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, they will kill you. I am not about to allow myself to become a victim.
Same reason people carry fire extinguishers in their vehicle. If my truck catches on fire for whatever reason, I'm going to have a way to put it out. Just like carrying a gun. If anyone wants to threaten my life, I'm going to have a way to eliminate the threat. If I were to wait for emergency services to arrive in either situation, I would be out of a truck or I would be dead.
Thanks to Arizona I open carry with a hip holster that slides right on my belt. If you're wearing slacks with belt loops a similar holster could work.. you would just have to leave your blouse untucked. There's also a bra holster. It looks a bit weird though unless your bust line is gifted.
ETA: There are also holsters that are worn on the inside of the waistline instead of outside. You would just need to buy a bigger sized slack or skirt.

Most defiantly is nessacary. Maybe not in all place but a lot of places I go it is. The county I live in last I heard was #9 in the country for Meth and Alabama over all is number #4. So yes I see it nessacary. Meth and drugs in general make people do crazy things. |

Location: Oklahoma | I carry either in the small of my back, or my hip with an IWB holster the majority of the time. If i'm outside working around the farm or something, a lot of the times I open carry, and just use my duty holsters for that. However, unless I am on duty, I very rarely open carry, even though it is legal.
You should check out versacarry and flashbang though.
I love flashbang holsters. They are made just for the ladies, and if you carry a smaller gun, work awesome!

Open Carry most definitely has its place. However to properly execute Open Carry is much easier said than done. |
