while an LCP is marginally better than pepper spray or a stun-gun..
J-frame in a pocket holster seems perfectly reasonable unless fashion is more of an issue than security. In that case, perhaps you shouldn't be carrying at all.
So as long as your frequency of carry doesnt change
Fixed blades are illegal to carry in the city near me. But with a CCW you can Carry a Gun, go figure.I have more confidence in a good fixed blade knife.
I'd get rid of the keltec's just because of the trigger.I sold my Kel-tec P11 and P-3AT and now carry a Glock 27 or Glock 30
Here in Vermont you can walk into a gunstore and walk out ten minutes later with a handgun as long as you aren't a felon. No training required, no skills, no license. Plus, you can then pocket the gun and legally carry it on you with no permit or training. You can begin to see the problem.

when you start to carry what you like (and know how to use it) and not what everyone else like then you put yourself in a better ccw defense position----grrrrrrrrrrrrrreatafter actually carrying several different so-called sub compact guns incl. Sw bodyguard 38, keltec pf9 and ruger lcp i came to the conclusion that the all suck firepower wise. Please, don't get back with comments like 'one well placed round between the eyes....' bla bla bla. I have not been in an actual gunfight (thank god) but have several advanced combat pistol courses under the belt and guys, even with these simulations its totally different from standing at the range with a stationary target 7 yards away. I now carry either a xdm9 with a whopping 19 round mag or a glock 30sf with 13 rounds of 45 acp. Slightly more uncomfortable? Maybe. Peace of mind? Tons better.
I hate government involvement and regulation in just about any form, but since it's unavoidable I would prefer to have some tangible means of quickly identifying myself as a law-abiding citizen who respects local laws enough to put in the time required to get and maintain a permit. Is this an odd perspective?
This is the epitome of the dress and social situation for which a "pocket popper" is ideal. In the particular case of the J-frame revolver, these do not conceal all that well in any but large pockets (which dress pants don't have). A pocket auto is smaller in every dimension and, more importantly, is much flatter, with no cylinder bulge.rellascout said:I cannot carry a J frame in the front pocket of my dress pants which are required where I work. I cannot carry a duty sized pistol with a dress shirt on. There are times that my choosen activity is not condusive to carrying a BHP or Sig P228.
I've always found that a big gun is more likely to stay at home or in the car instead of on me.
