FIRST OFF, I know that no one on here will recommend off-body carry and I am well aware of all the reasons and I generally agree with them. That being said,
Over the last few months I have stopped carrying on my person at work and instead keep it in my bag which is always near me in my office. I work in a very safe area in a business that is highly unlikely to have a problem and I stopped carrying for 2 reasons:
1. I am seated working on a computer all day and no matter how/what I carry it is still more comfortable without than with.
2. There have been a few occasions when I had to reach up to change a lightbulb or something and was almost made. I can legally carry, but I in a NPE and it would cause a major problem for me if I was made.
So given my situation, would you opt for:
1. Keep my carry gun in the bag, so if need be I can easily slip it on and carry out in public
2. Keep a larger, higher-capacity gun in the bag for the scenario in which I actually need it
Please don't just reply with "don't keep it in your bag, keep it on you." I know that, but for the reasons I stated above this is my current MO.
I appreciate everyone's replies - all of this is leading me back to re-considering pocket carry and just keeping it on me at all times.
I am not really concerned about an active shooter situation/terrorist threat/anything like that, I just carry for general peace of mind.
I am looking at a Beretta Pico and may just swap the 642 for that in my pocket.
Give some strong consideration to the Ruger LCP 2 and pocket or ankle carry.
