This is not an apocalypse/zombie/SHTF discussion.
A friend of mine is down in Baton Rouge this week helping his mother deal with the flood damage to her home. He's not a gun owner and has no desire to be one, but he has let me know about various curfews and the potential for miscreants to be about. It started me thinking about which type of holster I'd realistically want to be carrying when dealing with the aftermath of such natural disasters. I would think that an IWB or a close fitting OWB built for concealment would be a hindrance as I'm dry-walling, carrying furniture in and out, accessing tight spaces, etc..... Not to mention the fact that none of my holsters have retention systems beyond the tight fit of the leather or Kydex. I would be concerned about it falling out while finding myself in unusual body positions. I'm actually thinking that maybe I get an old-school GI flap holster and just carry one of my less valuable/still reliable 1911s. Or maybe another gun in a retention strap holster. Short of a tornado or blizzard, I don't see many situations like this in Ohio, so what do those of you with experience in such situations do?
