Today: Do you Carry Enough Gun to handle what may come your way? Maybe, maybe not. The bigger gun we can carry is generally better, but practicality has to be part of our lives also.
Carry as much gun as you can get away with for any given circumstance. That will mean different things to different people at different times. What can you carry, and do you carry more when you can?
I carry a couple different guns and configurations. I’m always looking for something better but rarely change what I do. What works, works.
This podcast is all about different thoughts for different times, and what you can practically do to make yourself and your family safer.

Great show. Definitely some things to think about. In the show you mentioned going back to carrying a full size gun in the appendix position. Do you have any advice for appendix carry for larger guys? If you already covered it, which episode did you talk about it? Thanks.
I’m still working on that. But I have 2 suggestions. 1: I carried a pocket revolver there for a long time and it was comfortable enough and hid really well. 2: I got from Spencer Seekers of Seekers Concealment and Paul Carlson of SSA Academy, get a longer barreled gun. Full-sized or 5″ size. You might check out Keepers Concealement for a holster or Paul carries one from Raven Concealment. The only way is to try and work it for awhile. Good luck.
