From Chapter 5: 10 Ways to Spot Someone Carrying a Concealed Gun
“If you see someone cruising around with a steady or intermittent glow emanating from their pocket area, it means one of two things. Either they have a really, really serious urinary tract infection, or their holster is causing the pistol laser to activate.”
The Insanely Practical Guide to Gun Holsters educates on a myriad of ways to safely carry a gun. Whether packing heat on your belt or in your underwear, this book will teach new shooters about the dizzying array of gun holsters on the market.

Let’s face it. Holsters are a tough thing to buy — especially for someone new to the world of guns.
Stores rarely have a big selection, everyone has a different opinion, and it’s hard to try them on with your specific gun. Holsters are expensive, and most experienced shooters have a whole box of unused, and very expensive, holsters. This book will dramatically improve the odds of making the right buy the first time. It’s also filled with helpful tips, like how to make sure your gun stays secure.
From Chapter 8: A Word on Gun Belts
“Wearing your jeans with the waist band around your knees is in vogue these days. While stylish and trendy, this doesn’t work so well for concealed carry with waist holsters. It’s bad enough having your wallet swinging around at knee level. Having a gun swinging around that low would certainly make you the center of attention. Unless of course, you live in Mogadishu.”
