You are responsible for the techniques you employ for personal protection.
Keeping your handgun readily accessible at all times is indeed a challenge.
When faced with this dilemma, I have two choices.
Off-body carry of a defensive firearm should be undertaken with the same care as any on-body carry of a pistol. In fact, off-body carry may require additional caution.
I can take my chances and go about my business unarmed, or I can find another way.
With that in mind, I carry a firearm every place I am legally authorized to do so.
Sure, its inconvenient, but I prefer to be in control of my own destiny.
A pistol, such as this custom Springfield Armory XD Service Model, can be carried off-body in a specially designed bag with a pouch for a defensive firearm.
So, what remedy might you have if carrying a handgun attached to your person is a non-starter?
Year-round, I ride a trail bike where my apparel might include sweatpants and no belt.
[Another option for carry during workouts and other physical activity is demonstrated in thisAlexo Athletica review.]
Draw times from a fanny pack are often slower than from a belt holster. A slow draw still beats being unarmed should you need to defend yourself.
In addition to my gun, my CCW bag contains a reload and a small tactical flashlight.
I doubt if the total package weighs more than two pounds.
Go with a color or pattern that doesnt suggest that you are packing heat.
The Galco Hidden Agenda appears like any number of office products and passes as a standard planning calendar and organizer. However, it holds a concealment pocket for your handgun.
Getting in under the radar is a good thing.
For any number of reasons, I strongly feel off-body carry requires even greater vigilance.
This can be especially problematic if the threat manifests itself inside of your personal space.
One remedy that just might work in those situations is a day planner.
Another possibility is the iDefense, which accommodates a small tablet along with a pistol.
The Galco Hidden Agenda measures 912x6 and is crafted from full-grain, glove-tanned leather.
A removable wrist lanyard is included.
There is also an adjustable elastic loop for carrying a spare magazine.
In those situations, rest assured my firearm is carried on my body.
