Frequently Asked Questions

Why is on-body carry recommended over jacket pocket carry for firearms?

On-body carry is recommended because it's the most accessible method. Jacket pocket carry can be difficult, especially in winter, as heavy clothing layers impede quick access to your firearm when needed for self-defense.

How should I adapt my EDC for winter conditions?

During winter, focus on adapting your EDC to account for heavier clothing. Prioritize on-body carry and practice drawing your firearm from beneath multiple layers, as accessing it from a jacket pocket becomes significantly more challenging.

What are the challenges of accessing a firearm in winter?

The primary challenge is the bulk of winter clothing. Multiple layers of coats and jackets make it difficult and time-consuming to reach a firearm, especially if it's not carried directly on your body.
