S6 - E137: Situational Awareness While Carrying

North American Outdoors

From the moment you get up and ready for your day, you should have a plan. Have an idea of where you will be traveling, the stops and errands you will be running, and if you will be carrying your firearm on your body - where you can and cannot go.
Based on your answers, this will determine what type of clothing you will be wearing for the day. Ladies - will you wear a belly band to conceal your firearm? Or a sports-bra that doubles as a carry bra to neatly tuck away your compact firearm? Will you have an IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster, or will you wear an OWB (Outside the Waistband) holster for the day? Or do you plan to carry your firearm in your purse?
Next, have a plan with all of the errands and locations you will be traveling with your firearm, of what you will be doing with your firearm. Will you be frequenting areas which allow firearms, or will you have to remove your firearm and find a way to safely and securely store your gun in your vehicle for a while until you return back to your vehicle?
Do you have any overnight travel that you need to consider? Will you be stopping for fuel and what is the safest way to protect yourself in a vulnerable location? Even as simple as stopping at a red light - are you prepared for potential danger or trouble?
Keep your situational awareness radar always on, and especially heightened when you are carrying a firearm. Know where you can and cannot go, and what you can and cannot do.
Enjoy!
