Good Morning Campfire,
So, I've been watching a lot of youtube videos lately...the news rarely report the crimes, but on youtube one can often see them unfold on video. They seem to have the following in common:
1- a group of 3-4 criminals
2 - armed people with extended magazines
3 - quick mobbing of an unaware victim, often at gas pumps, often in daylight...in other words - normal places...not surly alleys and such...
Prior to watching...my summer carry has always been a single j frame. Or a single 380 pocket carried pistol (glock or ppk) or a glock 26 pocket carry. Each setup was chosen based upon clothing. And, the thought was to defend against basically a single attacker, pit bull, etc...
But after watching numerous videos...my summer carry is now, POM spray on key chain and:
a - two j frames, one on the belt and one in the right front pocket; or,
b - glock 26 with back up magazine in hill people fanny pack;
The reason is to insure enough capacity against 3-4 perps and have the ability to draw while seated or transitioning from a vehicle.
When the weather cools, I imagine I'll be in full sized carry mode.
I was just curious what your guys carry was in the summer with all the heat and crime we are experiencing.
