The Truth About Conceal Carry

About this video

Colion shares his personal journey from first carrying a concealed firearm to where he is today. He describes the mental shifts he experienced—from initial insecurity and hyperawareness of printing to eventually treating carry as second nature. Colion discusses his progression from not carrying with a round chambered to doing so, his preference for appendix carry, and how carrying responsibly made him more passive and situationally aware rather than emboldened.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains his personal evolution from carrying without a round chambered to carrying condition one, urging new carriers not to feel pressured but to understand the limitations of each method.
• He emphasizes that carrying requires strategic planning around local laws, where guns are prohibited, and how to balance gun size, capacity, and concealability for a dynamic lifestyle.
