Smince, I recognize ALL the limitations of pocket carry. I fully accept them... Again, it comes down to values....

I grew up in the Bronx. I've lived in Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens and a bunch of other places. For most of my 20's, I worked in many of the toughest areas NYC, alone, on a daily basis. All of which, I did unarmed (thank you NYC ). As such, situational awareness and personal influence have been my primary defenses. You can not plan on what you will do if caught off guard because truthfully, if caught off guard you have already lost.

Pocket carry affords me the greatest flexibility in handling a situation. It allows me:
1) more time to defuse the situation without compromise to readiness
2) the ability to increase readiness without escalating the situation
3) reduce legal implications without compromise to readiness

It is all about the concealment of my actions, my friend. It allows ME to maintain greater influence of the situation before I hand it over to the gun.

btw, those courses look like they'd be a lot of fun. It would be great if they were offered closer to me. I really enjoy training courses. It is like a mini vacation for me.
