Be Extra Vigilant

In the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, many of us forget to be as vigilant as we should. I am as guilty of this as anyone, and sometimes have to remind myself to scan my surroundings while trying to control a 15-month-old grabbing at everything within her reach. 

Most of those around you are just honest folks trying to get done with their business so they can get home to celebrate with family and friends. However, bad elements know that many of us are distracted and desire to take advantage of people being busy and the stores being full of hassled shoppers going to and fro in a frenzied state.

This is when you have to be extra vigilant to be sure that you and yours do not become some Department of Justice statistic.  Be sure to check around your car, know who is around you and always have an escape route in mind in case the unforeseeable happens. Of course, one thing that is really nice about this time of year, the bulky clothing being worn to ward off the season’s chill, allows for larger carry guns without the fear of printing. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas.

Jerry, try suspenders. They help all sizes of people from the very slim to those who remember when they were slim. They are available in plain or dressy.

The bulky clothing "allows for larger carry guns without the fear of printing" is a good thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't do me any good since my 1911 and S&W Mdl 15 are heavy enough to keep pulling my pants down. :( So, it's still the Mdl 60. :)
