Having a bit of a tough time explaining just what I'm getting at, so bear with me. Much is made of the mentality of deciding to carry, and there are classes and training about how to handle yourself when you carry.
But what about the practical methods of integrating it? how does one go about choosing or even researching how best to incorporate carrying, what holsters work for what kind of situation, what carry options are appropriate to certain lifstyles? another thread about carrying got me thinking.
another way of explaining it - while the mentality is the same; one likely needs different levels of concealment and different tools as a truck driver or as an outdoor contract construction worker than as a professional in a public office, or a technical repair person.
I can find tons of classes and theorems about the mentality and situational awareness - but I can find nothing about "this style of holster works pretty good in this kind of environment" kind of thing. Where does one exactly research the pro's and con's of types, and for others like me - who know virtually nothing about the various types of holsters out there - and the best way to use them. Where does one learn what's available -other than wandering around a shop window shopping. Even an obvious. "don't wear a full size shoulder rig under your form fitting under armor shirt that's tight on you, and then go for a run" - "it's gonna print". - would be of great help to me sometime.
Then again, this is all probably covered somewhere and I just haven't figured out how to appropriately search for it.
or am I just thinking wrong....
