    Just to let you know, there is a near zero percent chance that it will save any life at all. And no, worst case is not that your pants are slightly less comfortable. Bad case would be you accidentally leaving it somewhere (lots of cases where people remove it while in the sitter and forget about it). Worst case would be you using it when it absolutely, positively is not necessary which again, there is a near zero percent chance it would be needed. If you are fine with all of that, that is okay but don’t be under the impression that there are zero downsides outside of uncomfortable pants.

      No youre right, it was a bit of hyperbole on my part.

      I keep a very close eye on defensive gun legality and cases (Armed Attorneys is a great Youtube channel to start with if you’re interested). You’re right there are many things that can go wrong. I do my best to stay educated on the pitfalls others run into, I pay for carry insurance as well to help with legal fees if I ever do need to use it.

        Good on you, mate. I wish more gun owners were similar.
