The argument against carrying one in the chamber goes back to the days of single-action revolvers with hammers that were not blocked and exposed hammer autoloaders that were not striker fired. Hit the hammer hard enough, like dropping it on the floor, and these older firearms can discharge.


"Even a minor blow to the hammer of these older revolvers (and some slightly more modern semi-autos) could cause the gun to discharge, even while holstered," Bob Owens wrote for Bearing Arms.


The evolution of today's autoloader firearms means it is safe to have a concealed carry round in the chamber, especially with modern semi-autos. Dropping these guns won't cause the handgun to go off. You can beat on them and they will not fire. Experiments in Georgia at the law enforcement Public Safety Training Center dropped Glocks from helicopters onto concrete pads. The handguns never discharged and functioned properly once picked up and shot.

In this article, we're going to go over some of the most common concealed carry mistakes, and how to avoid them.


When you're getting accustomed to something new, mistakes are inevitable, and concealed carry is no different. Sometimes, even concealed carry pros are prone to the occasional error.

When it comes to concealed carry, though, the stakes are pretty high, and errors should always be avoided at all cost. With that in mind, here are a few of the most common concealed carry mistakes. Learn what they are so that you yourself can avoid them.


Adjusting/Touching Your Gun in Public


Every time you reach down to casually touch your weapon or adjust it you are drawing attention to the fact that you are carrying. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this, if your goal is to be discreet, touching/adjusting your weapon in public is anything but.

Law enforcement is a risky job, even when you are off-duty. Becuase of this, many law enforcement officers choose to carry a concealed handgun even when they aren't in uniform or even after they have retired. This allows them to always be able to protect both themselves and those around them.

However, if you are a law enforcement officer who wishes to carry a firearm when you are off-duty or after you have retired, there a few things you will want to keep in mind. Listed below are a few special considerations for law enforcement officers who concealed carry.


Use a Quality Belt


For law enforcement officers who are used to carrying their weapon on their kit belt, concealing a weapon can be a bit of an adjustment. Even when carrying concealed, though, it is still vitally important to have a heavy duty belt that can properly support your weapon and its holster.

In this video, we'll show you how to field strip and clean the SP2022 by Sig Sauer, and then go into some additional information about this pistol. The Sig Sauer SP2022 was originally designed for French law enforcement, but once it came to the United States, it became an extremely popular home defense and concealed carry gun.


The SP stands for Sig Pro, and the numbers 2022 denote the service life of the pistol. These were rolled out to the French police in 2002, and scheduled to last for 20 years as their sidearm. With the way the SP2022 is built, it's going to last much longer.


The 2022 is very similar to Sig's P226, one of the most popular combat pistols of all time, except that it's lighter than the P226 due to the polymer frame. The reason why it's so popular is that the SP2022 strikes a fantastic balance of price and quality, and it's similar design to the P226 demonstrates its proven effectiveness.


The SP2022 is chambered in 9mm,

When people are confused about their concealed carry rights, one of the most common places they are concerned about is a bar. This is for good reason as there is no set nationwide law on this. In fact, the law varies greatly from state to state regarding whether or not an individual can carry in a bar, or any other place that serves alcohol.

There is a number of states that allow conceal carry in a bar. Other states have various punishments for being caught doing so. Adding to the confusion surrounding this situation are the conceal carry laws in the state of Arizona where they now allow conceal carry without a permit in many situations.

When it comes to bars in the state, an individual can carry their weapon into a place with a valid liquor license if they have a conceal carry permit, but not if they don't, meaning the non-permit conceal carry law only applies to certain
