Jeans and Vests Allow You to Carry Concealed Guns in Style
Thirty-seven states in the United States allow citizens to carry
concealed weapons. California, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island have some
restrictions on the books, as do the District of Columbia, the
Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska, and
Wisconsin have denied citizens the right to carry concealed
weapons.
Although you may have a permit to carry concealed guns in one
state, that doesn't necessarily mean that you can carry
concealed in other states. Certain states don't allow
non-residents to carry concealed guns, while others allow
concealed carry providing you have your permit with you and/or
notify an officer when carrying. It's always best to check the
laws of the jurisdiction you will be entering prior to carrying
concealed.
Once you have your permit to carry concealed guns, the question
becomes, "What's the best way to carry them?" Since, in most
jurisdictions, it is illegal to show your concealed gun in
public, you must find a way to secure your gun holsters out of
sight.
A popular way to carry concealed guns is to put them in whatever
you are carrying. A fanny pack, a purse, a soft-sided briefcase,
and a backpack all make for decent - albeit unconventional - gun
holsters. You can also purchase more conventional holsters, such
as a shoulder holster, side holster, back holster, or an ankle
holster for your concealed carry.
Increasingly, those who are carrying concealed are choosing to
buy clothing made expressly for that purpose. Toters, a brand of
jeans and vests created by veteran holster and knife designer
Blackie Collins, are an example of an innovative alternative to
bulky holsters, fanny packs, and briefcases. Toters jeans
combine the look, feel, and comfort of a regular pair of jeans,
but add ruggedness, functionality, and versatility. They can
accommodate and conceal virtually any size of handgun safely and
securely.
Toters jeans are unique in that they have a second front pocket
and a rear pocket that are lined with super-strong material that
prevents the concealed carry from imprinting or wearing through
the denim of the jeans. In addition, the special front pocket
has an adjustable holstering system.
Toters vests feature holstering pockets in both the left and
right sides of the vest that are deep and wide enough to carry a
variety of concealed guns.
When you carry concealed guns, it's important to have easy
access to your weapon. Specially designed clothing alleviates
the problem of holster bulkiness while allowing you to feel
secure in knowing that your weapon is close at hand.
