This Video Is Why I Don't Open Carry

About this video

Colion Noir explains his tactical concerns about open carrying firearms, particularly when done without proper retention holsters. He describes scenarios where he might open carry (such as pumping gas late at night for faster access) but argues that openly carrying a handgun in a pocket with the grip exposed invites gun grabs from criminals. Colion recommends that anyone choosing to open carry should use at least a level-one retention holster and be aware of legal requirements in their jurisdiction.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that while he supports open carry ideologically, he avoids it tactically due to the attention it draws and vulnerability it creates
• According to Colion, carrying a gun in a pocket with the grip exposed makes it easy for criminals to snatch, and he recommends using retention holsters to prevent gun grabs
• Colion notes that in some jurisdictions like Texas, open carry without a holster or sling may be illegal
