Daily Defense 1-16: Must-Have EDC Gear

In earlier episodes, Jeff covered choosing your EDC gun, but there's more to your daily carry setup than the gun. You can't just get a concealed carry permit, shove the gun in your waistband, and go about your daily business. The gun is really only ONE part of a THREE-part system that also includes a holster and a belt. You want to develop a system that's comfortable enough to carry your gun as often as possible. Be prepared to go through several holsters before you find one that really works for you. You may need more than one holster, anyway, so you can carry in different situations. The belt is critical in bringing all of this together. The more supportive the belt, the more comfortable you'll be, and the more likely you'll be carrying your gun if an emergency arises. Here's why Jeff does not recommend choosing a "niche" firearm: your holster options will be limited. The goal is to easily fit the firearm into your daily lifestyle.
