Opening Up To Off-Body Carry (Page 2)
In the old days, off-body carry entailed rudimentary “fanny packs” for handguns and firearm-specific cases for rifles and shotguns. Today, a wide variety of discreet cases make off-body carry a whole new proposition.

The other consideration is the casualness about safety and responsibility that such gun carrying methods can sometimes bring about. When no longer needed, fanny packs can be tossed on car seats, tabletops and bedspreads. Purses can be left on counters or hung on the backs of chairs. Backpacks can be set on the floor, rested in shopping carts or set down next to us on public transportation or restaurant seating. Briefcases can be left behind to remain unattended on or alongside our desks. The same can be true of those portfolios and planners that I mentioned. Even discreet long gun cases can be too easily left alone for just a moment because after all, it is “just a moment” and “nobody knows there is a gun in it anyway.” Bad idea!
If you do plan on using any of these methods to go armed throughout your day, then you need to be just as much on guard against these mindset issues as you do those external threats that warranted your carrying the firearm in the first place. These off-body solutions can solve some problems but like many things in life, they can bring about others of their own making. However, if you approach them logically and carefully, they too can be resolved in your favor.
