Concealed carry
Given all the threats being circulated about ISIS attacks here in the states, do you conceal carry?

Yes, I carry for my personal protection and that of my family.

I Pack and since the Bastards are trying to obtain Body armor...
I switched from a .45ACP or a .38 Spl to a M-57 Yugo with a 7.62 x25 round... with "subgun" ammo it will defeat type 2 and 3A/B Body armor...

You have a little wiggle room in that most sc*mbags do not know how to properly wear either under the shirt or external armor. For comfort they usually loosen the shoulder straps. So, hip shot first. Then head, neck, or sternal notch next.

I’ve had several guns that I would carry depending on the weather and what I was wearing. Usually it was the biggest gun I could effectively conceal. A few months ago I purchased a SIG P320 9mm compact and it’s rendered my other handguns obsolete for the most part. I’ll still stick the Ruger LCP or Ruger LCR in my pocket if I’m just running out real quick, but my go to is the P320. It’s everything I need in a handgun. Plenty of capacity, 15+1, great ergonomics, best factory trigger than any other striker fired handgun, and it conceals well. I have a friend that works at SIG, located here in NH. I was able to get his 50% discount. I bought the gun which came with two mags, bought an additional mag and the total was $379.

For holsters I’ve experimented with different types, almost all inside the waistband. I’ve found what works best for me are the Alien Gear and N82 holsters. The N82’s are most comfortable when driving or sitting for long periods and they’re easy to put on. The Alien Gear holsters conceal a little better, have adjustments for cant, retention, and depth, conceal better than the N82, and are more comfortable wearing throughout the day. I also use a Smarycarry holster when wearing elastic waistband shorts.

Good insightful comments on your handgun and other components that were purchased with it. I might have to check out the Sig this weekend.

As long as I am not projected to go onto the base, I carry.

I carry at times, but when I do not feel the need to carry, I won't. The ability to carry never means that you must and there are times it interferes with what's going on and there is a reason it's called CONCEALED.

I would like to, even if isis isn't in the area. Its never a bad idea to have a self and home defense option.

If I were the type to carry a concealed weapon for personal security, ISIS would be very low on my list of probable threats.

My own, statistically based, threat assessment is that I face a much higher likelihood of being effectively engaged by armed angry drivers or alpha-personality law-enforcement officers than would-be jihadists. Not to mention that the latter group has one of the lowest hit probabilities demonstrated so far -- coming in second place when using a pair of AKs against a traffic cop is not something that will send your enemies fleeing in terror. Just saying.

Also, if I were the type to carry a concealed weapon, I would neither confirm nor deny it in an open (or even semi-open) forum. Just not saying...

I've carried concealed for ten years. ISIS/ISIL has no bearing on that, other than another reason for me to be alert.
