I just wrote a piece about concealed firearm carry options that go beyond conventional holsters. If we can expect to wait three hours for the police to attempt a rescue, then they can expect us to make our own survival plans that don't include them.

If the dead adults at Newtown could have a do-over, they’d surely vote to face Adam Lanza with a gun of their own.

A good guy with gun may or may not save the day, but a gun free zone is guaranteed to fail.

Not quite sure I'd want to carry either one of those, when a Glock 26 is so easy to conceal, and spare full size Glock 17 magazines fit in the G26.

Ten rounds of 9mm goodness, then multiple 17 round reloads should be more than enough for any civilian CCW.

I have one of those pistols. And boy does it fit my hand good, shoots good, and is accurate. Any defects are that of the shooter, not the gun. And I have, as its mate, a Sig .380. Each time the trigger is pulled it goes bang and the bullet hits where it is aimed. And, last but not least, thank you for the article and ideas.

17 years since Columbine and still we have Gun Free Zones with no protection furnished.

That is criminal.

Excellent ideas. I adopted this approach a while back when my dad was getting these well made pouches from AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) as SWAG for being a member. One of the bags that arrived one year was perfectly sized for my 92F on one side, and several mags on the other. It is nicely lined with a coated surface that allows an easy non-grabby entrance and exit, and is thick enough not to print-thru. It also attaches via a carabiner to my larger “man-purse” style laptop bag, and will actually fit inside the laptop bag if I am not carrying too many other items.

Your larger point here is an important one that we all need to keep in mind: your safety and security is up to you, and you need to adapt and improvise (and blend in) using common, ordinary, materials at hand.

If you don’t mind off the body carry, I used an old day planner lined with foam rubber. I carried an M9 or an M1911A1 with ease. The only thing is you always have to hold it. Looked and felt a little awkward at times.

What if you are a slender guy or gal who wants to wear a form-fitting t-shirt, or even to go bare-chested

The bare-chested gal could open carry and no one would know she was armed.

The Orlando police department learned nothing from Columbine or anywhere else. The first cops on the scene have to make entry and take out the shooter. Waiting three hours is inexcusable and got many more people killed.

Going back to side arms, in the old days before political correctness reared its ugly head, security professionals used to refer to these “concealed in plain sight” options for large pistols and sub-guns as “fag-bags.”

"What are YOU laughing at, I'M the one with a GUN!" ;o)

Concealed carry in plain sight on the cheap?

Here’s a nice, inexpensive fanny pack from Walmart for $6.97. Gray or black.

I'm a fan of the "Hide in plain sight" concept, especially when in the car.

A zippered leather bible case can be modified for quick access, and you could very likely leave it on your car seat in plain view and nobody would mess with it. They are available in different sizes, with and without scripture quotes embroidered on the front.

If you prefer a similar rig without the Christian-themed psy ops, try a zippered day planner, such as those from FranklinCovey or Day-Timer. Simple cordura holsters can be attached to the inside and spare mag loops fit easily along the spine, once you remove the ring-binder metal bits.

Camera cases make some of the best CCW bags. I’ve used a few.
