Concealed Carry Options For Women

More and more women are deciding to get their concealed carry permit. The need to feel safe, to protect their families and uphold their rights are just a few of the reasons why. Concealed carry classes are being made readily available for most, and there are numerous places to select and buy the perfect gun for you.

Once this is all done, though, you’ll need to find the carry method that will be best for you.

Concealment Purses

Gun concealment purses are a great way to not only conceal but also keep your gun safe and organized away from the other junk that inevitably winds up in the bottom of your purse. Unlike a normal purse, concealment purses may have specialized compartments that make gun access quick and easy. When carrying in your purse, however, it is important to keep the purse on you at all times to avoid any potential mishaps.

Belly Bands

Belly bands are tight fitting bands that will hug right against your skin. They can be moved up to the chest as well as sitting on the hips. These are especially helpful when wearing a dress. When using a belly band, it would be advised to choose one that protects the trigger and holds the gun in place as tightly as possible.

Ankle Holsters

Ankle holsters are a great way to conceal your gun under baggy pants, but often women do have a harder time getting them to stay on due to their skinnier legs. You may consider one that’s padded to alleviate any discomfort the gun may impose.

Bra Carry

Women are typically already wearing one of the best holsters available. If there is already a tight, restrictive band around your body, why not use it to conceal your weapon? It is important to find a holster with good trigger guard protection as this is a risk you would not want to take.

Thigh Holsters

Another conceal option that is great when wearing a dress, is the thigh or garter holster. A garter will help to ensure the holster doesn’t slip down when you’re moving. Thigh or garter holsters prove to be a bit more accessible than a belly band, but may be a bit less comfortable depending on the type of movement you’ll be involved in.

Waistband Holsters

Although there may be some conceal options that appeal just to women, that doesn’t mean those are the only options. Many women prefer just an inside-the-waistband holster that will work with just about any belt, just like a man may use.

It’s important to assess your activity, your wardrobe and always, your safety as you decide which concealed carry option is best for you.
