While I agree with the overall idea of this article I also believe that carrying a gun can be comfortable with the correct gear. yea its a little more difficult if you're trying to do it concealed but it can still be done. Regardless if its comfortable or not the last line of the article is something I wish all responsible gun owners would do all the time. Just freaking carry!

...and just because it's hot outside doesn't mean you have to carry some tiny plastic piece of crap.

But it's VERY hot outside!

I liked the article. With a good belt, and a good quality holster, you can EDC a large gun (Glock 19 size) in any hot temperature. And still be comfortable.

I never really have found it all that uncomfortable to carry. There's a transition period but it's never really that bad. That being said, if I have to do a lot of heavy work or crawl around under a car or something like that, then yeah it can be a pain.

Always seemed to me that some of the state level carry restrictions were most responsible for making carry uncomfortable.

Think about it: Wisconsin prohibited concealment for so many years in a state where the winters are brutal. Texas and Florida, two of the hottest states, still prohibit unconcealed carry.

How that ever made sense to anyone in those states (or still makes sense) is beyond me.

Carrying a firearm to me is just something that you grow accustomed to. It's a different feeling at first, kinda like wearing a wedding ring, but you get used to it after a short while. Then it feels weird if you don't have it on you

I guess it's all relative. A Glock 19 is my BUG, but then, you know, it's a proportion thing.

Didn't realize your BUG was a Glock 19.

I tried carrying 2 guns. And I tried other times.

I've been tempted to snatch another Glock 26, and carry 2 of those.

Plenty easy to carry a full size gun, or 2 guns, in warm / hot weather.

I carry daily. I get sweat, dust, dirt, saw dust and who knows what else on my pretty pistol.

Every once in a while I stop and clean it just because it looks so bad. I enjoy shooting it, and do so when it is filthy, just to make sure it will always work as needed, when needed.

Fat guy on a construction site makes for a lot of nasty on the gun. I still bump it once in a while because I don't fit through things as well as I used to. I will admit to unstrapping while I was laying carpet a few months back. Knee kicking was just getting to be a bit too much. It was still with me, just not on me.

USCCA is top notch on info on many subjects and gear. I have their insurance that came with my platinum membership (Guy Relford). They are by far my best resource to carry handgun that I have. For those in the know the 'it's not supposed to be comfortable' is part of a Clint Smith saying at Thunder Ranch. Terrific foe the EDC person, as we should be.

Sorry, the 'foe' should be 'for', big hands.
