Hey guys.
I've got the green light, encouraged even to carry at work. I'm looking for good options and need your opinions. I have an idea of what would be best for me, but I'm not 100%.
My situation is:
I sit behind a desk 90% of the time at work. I'm at the front desk and due to the nature of the place I work, literally half or more of the people who walk in are criminals.
There is bullet resistant glass between me and the public and door access is restricted via access control. So, the need for a gun in mere seconds is likely not an issue. In the office next to me is a uniformed police officer with a K-9 in a kennel.
I'm thinking the main reason would be in the case of an active shooter situation or something along those lines.
I'm thinking that from a sitting position, an ankle holster, holding my Taurus 709 Slim inside my left ankle would be the way to go. I realize that under normal circumstances, an ankle holster is not the quickest way to get a gun into action, but I'm thinking from a sitting position it may be just the ticket.
I'm a big guy (5'8" and 240 lbs) so I've had issues with comfortable carry options. IWB hasn't been comfortable for me (though I've never had a really high quality one), and I don't think from a seated position it would be an option anyway. I wear a dress shirt and khakis most days and jeans every now and then.
I'm thinking for my situation a Galco Ankle Glove may be the ticket.
Am I thinking right? Opinions are welcome.
Thanks
