You act like that's some challenge.. Weird. It's like having a car. Do you drive drunk with it? Close your eyes and let go of the wheel at 90mph? You simply get a good holster and keep it concealed. It doesn't have a mind of its own. The gun will not leap out and attack people. Like I said, maybe I'm some exceptional genius, but to me it's simple. Just get a good holster for IWB, or a pocket holster for a small revolver. If you're trying to be so rational about it, please explain what is wrong with what I said above?

It is a challenge. If it's always easy for you to conceal a weapon and you have it with you every minute of every day and it never gets in the way or becomes an issue then good for you. Your suggested methods work for a lot of situations. I have a carry purse myself, and a fanny pack, and they are good choices. Most people don't wear them in class, though, carry-size fanny packs are often a little bulky and unwieldy for me to want to have on all the time, but I'll endure them for some situations where I think my actual risk outweighs that hassle. You can't take it off and set it down and leave it like you would a backpack or a purse if you know what's in it. You can't set it down and go to the chalkboard, or to work on a group project in class. That's irresponsible.

If you think it's anti-gun to take the practical implications of carrying in this society very seriously and help people do it well, then you're not calling just me anti gun, but every self defense instructor I know, as well as every author who writes books about the subject of being armed and good self defense.

I think you’re just not informed enough on the subject, that’s all. It’s very easy to conceal carry. I promise you I can get up, dance around, and so on, you’d never know with my IWB unless I lift my shirt up well above my waist.

If the *worse* thing that happens is someone else sees you having a gun, that’s really not that bad. I think it outweighs the cost of being a sitting duck, don’t you?

Personally, I think it would be best if we all had little Derringers outside home. Size wouldn’t be much of a problem. :D
