Concealed Carry Holsters
If you carry a gun frequently you will quickly learn how important holster selection is. At first, many people become confused on which type of concealed carry holster to go with. I ended up confused myself which is why I ended up trying them all. Sadly, many individuals end up picking a method that doesn’t work for them and as a result don’t carry as often. Everybody needs to find a concealed carry holster that will allow them to carry comfortably everywhere they legally can.
Hopefully this website will help narrow down which type of concealed carry holster is right for you.

This is a cool map I was surprised to see that 2 states actually infringed on the right to bear arms. I thought DC was the only place infringing…

California might as well be all black. Good luck getting a CCW.
I’d like to sue the govt for the rights of these yellow and black states.
Let’s stop making a ’safe’ hunting grounds for criminals. It makes a slaughter-house for the innocent.

I think you need to double check your laws in Arizona. We have what is called an open carry law allowing us to carry a loaded handgun on our side as long as it is visible. I wish more states would allow this. Our serious crime rate excluding large cities is very low. Most in large cities are from other stats and probably are not aware of this law. I like the fact that no ccw is needed to carry here. You do however are restricted on were you can carry. No schools or government buildings, bars or places that serve alcohol, and anywhere it is posed no firearms. We gladly obey these rules. Honest people do not have to worry about breaking the law let alone passing the required background check to purchase the firearm. If more people carried a fire arm thugs and punks would think twice about breaking the law. I would imagine the psychological affect it would have on them knowing others are armed around them.

There are plenty of states that allow open carry. The problem is that the right is rarely exercised. Many law enforcement officers and citizens are simply unaware that anybody can strap a gun to their hip and walk around in public. This is because it has been so uncommon over the past decades. Of course, this causes many “man with a gun” calls. In my home state of Alabama, open carrying is completely legal, but will get you charged with “disorderly conduct” if somebody becomes alarmed and calls the police.

You still need a CCW to carry concealed in Arizona. You are correct that anyone(that can legally own a pistol/handgun) can carry a gun in public there as long as it is visible. If you want to carry and conceal your sidearm you need a CCW. I live in Colorado now and enjoy the right to have my CCW, but I will move to New Jersey in 2 years and have to fight to get a permit!

I live in Kansas and on the Attorny Generals website lists 22 states that recognize the Kansas issues CCW permit. So the other 18 that you show will not honor the CCW permit. It is very important to check the laws of states you’ll be traveling through before you go.

George,
You are right, the map above is not a reciprocity map. It only shows permit issue status for state of residence. For reciprocity, see here.

Thought you all might be interested in a couple of signs that are posted at my home in Colorado Springs. One is a “blue stop sign” similar to the ADT Alarm services sign - but mine reads: “Protected by my 2nd amendment rights” This sign is available at: http://patriotshop.us/
The other sign I have states: “I don’t call 911″ with a picture of a revolver pointed at you…
