He Walked Into A Store With A Gun In His Back Pocket… Then This Happened!

About this video

Colion analyzes surveillance footage of a man whose gun was visibly hanging out of his pocket in a store, leading to it being stolen. He argues that carrying a gun openly in this manner creates a false sense of security, reduces situational awareness, and makes the carrier a target for criminals who see an easy opportunity to take the weapon. Colion emphasizes that the gun is a defensive tool for the moment you need it, but everything before that moment requires personal awareness and proper carry methods.

Key takeaways

  • Colion distinguishes between proper pocket carry (small gun in holster, completely concealed) and dangerously carrying a gun visibly hanging from a pocket
  • According to Colion, visible guns can create false confidence that lowers situational awareness, making carriers vulnerable to criminals who see them as easy targets
  • Colion teaches that the gun is only useful at the moment of defensive need—maintaining awareness and controlling the weapon through proper carry position is the carrier’s responsibility at all other times
  • Colion warns that carrying at the 3 o’clock position can accidentally expose firearms when bending, similar to the risks of improper pocket carry
