What are your thoughts on pocket carry?

[sheep dog]

I carry a j frame S&W 642 in a uncle mike holster. I think Ga. Law requires a holster for all carry guns.

Just a "common sense law" to use a holster...

Not correct. No holster required with any type of carry.

Ga law 16- 11- 126 c
This is an old law that apparently has been changed or removed.

I agree. You can get one for $10.00 and it used to be the law. 10 yeas ago or so.

It did use to be the law. Laws keep changing. Not saying it is or isn't common sense to use a holster. Just stating the law.

I remember when the laws were belt or shoulder holster, or hip grip. No ankle or pocket carry allowed.

All that changed. With a Georgia Weapons Carry License, you can now carry anywhere on your body, holster or not, concealed or not.

Georgia Carry is a great organization that lobbies on behalf of Georgia residents who own and/or carry. It has great information on present laws and present and upcoming legislation.

Thanks for your information. I will continue to use a holster, just seems safer.

Smith 642 in a Nemesis everyday for me. I tried for years to find a carry solution that was comfortable but also included a gun I trusted and shot well. This one does both.

I have considered trying a compact 45 in a Nemesis just to consolidate calibers. 38 Special is my oddball.

I agree with the gun. I am selling my 642 because I have a talo 642 I carry now. I, my wife, mother in law and sister in law all carry the 642 or 442. Of course I carry a Glock also.
