Bad news, I didn’t end up in Nevada… California 10-day waiting period to buy gun violates the Second Amendment, as to people who are known to the state to already own guns BREAKING: California’s 10-Day Waiting Period Overturned…Mostly Gear Guide:  Nothing this week I'd like preface that I enjoy your podcast. I have a suggestion for a podcast topic. I fly for the airlines and would like to hear suggestions on how to travel ready for disasters. The requirement would be TSA friendly, carry on, not bulky too carry or pack, and not stick out. My concern is at the destination hotel, I'm a very soft target. My only way out is on foot in an unfamiliar city maybe outside the US. I carry a 6 by 6 inch pouch; inside includes trauma pack with quick clot (no cutters), Dust mask, ear buds and plugs, water tablets, emergency bivy, and a few small items. On my keys I have a light, a tsa friendly leatherman, and a P38 can opener. I also always have a 2 liter bottle of water. How would you pack a TSA okay, hike out, small pouch? Thank you for your time and effort. Hi Greg, As a relatively new CCW holder (almost a year).  While I was waiting for my CCW document to arrive.  I had to figure out exactly how to carry my CCW side arm (a Glock 27).  I am sure there are many ways to do this.  However, what worked for me was to carry my handgun every day while at home method. For about two weeks, I would carry my handgun every day as soon as I arrived home in the evening until bead time and all day on weekends, no matter the chore, I would wear the CCW holster and handgun (for example, while washing the car, bathing the dog, cleaning the garage, mowing the grass, cleaning the house, etc.).  Not everyone may find this method useful.  But, for me carrying at home allowed me to learn which carry position worked for me, what holster best suited my preferred carry method. Generally, how to carry a handgun in a way that works best for me and the actives I engage in while out and about.  I learned how go to the bathroom while carrying handgun (better to drop and gun on the floor at home rather than while out, how to perform daily activities (like bending, reaching, setting, driving, etc.), and most importantly, I learned how not to be overly concerned with the handgun printing. At the end of my acclimation period, I was aware that the handgun was there, but I had gotten over the initial uneasiness of carrying.  Many occasions, I had to explain to my wife why I was carrying a handgun in the house. But, eventually , she understood what I was doing and why I was doing this.  That is material for another discussion. When I did this, I had not spoken to anyone on how to acclimate to CCW. I just kind of went and did the above.  Greg, Do you have any recommendation for learning the mechanics and daily activity considerations when carrying a handgun in public? Thanks for making one my favorite Podcasts on the Firearms Radio Network. I lost an email that I can’t find as well.  So, here are my thoughts… Main Topic:  AR Pistol Transporting a firearm in California Handgun Law.us California BCM Standard 11.5" Carbine Upper Receiver Group w/ BCM KMR 10" Handguard Why did I go with an 11.5 barrel?
