Today we are going to go through the many different carry options that are available for women, there are lots of different products out there. We are going to be going through what’s best for you to help you make the right decision.

First you are going to need to make sure you meet all of the legal requirements to carry concealed in your state. Check with your local police department. They should be able to help you find out what you need to know about carrying concealed. You’ll need to follow these rules at all times. Now on of the most common ways to carry is this belt type holster.

These are usually placed behind the hip for maximum concealment. This is a very common method for men who wear jackets or over garments to conceal their firearm. It is critical to make sure your handgun is hidden at all times. You will also need a sturdy thick belt that threads through your belt loops to ensure the firearm is securely in place. Many women though will find that this is not the best choice for them based on clothing and body type.

Another example of a type of carry is the fanny pack, it clips in the back behind your waist and has easy access for your firearm. A fanny pack also allows you to store extra ammunition in speed loaders or magazines. Keep in mind you want to place your handgun inside the fanny pack so that it will be accessible for your strong hand, to safely retrieve your firearm should you need to.

Probably the most common way for women to carry is the carry purse. Many are designed to carry a firearm. Like the fanny pack, you can secure other items as well. If you choose the purse option you should always try to carry your purse on the same shoulder every time. That will allow you to have quick, safe and consistent access to your firearm.

Whether you are carrying in a purse or a fanny pack, it is important to remember to keep your firearm in a compartment that is by itself. Keys, cell phones, and wallets should be kept separately at all times.

 Remember, your firearm is your responsibility. You are going to need to make sure that, after you have been to the range, or you have been carrying concealed, that you secure it in a safe like this. It’s an excellent way to store it. You need to make sure that your firearm is locked away at all times when you are not using it. 

Regardless of which method you choose, be consistent with how you retrieve your firearm from concealment. The more familiar you are the more confident you will become. And now that you know a bit more about the options that are available for you to carry concealed, you can select one that best fits you.
