Concealed Carry Positions, Where To Carry And Why | Geauga Firearms Academy
In this Geauga Firearms Academy video I go into great detail explaining the various positions commonly used for concealed carry use. We will look at advantages and disadvantages and which position I favor and why. If you are new to concealed carry this will help you gain the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision on how you will carry your weapon. If you already carry this can help you decide if you are making the right choice. Lastly you’ll find concepts of more advanced training techniques that can help you understand how can deal with worst-case scenarios. Remember that none of this material will ever be a substitute for actual training!

Oh My Gosh!! LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Love Everything!! Glad I found your Channel!! I am going to do even more research on your videos to find out what is best - I want to do a more in depth Tactical Training Session but haven't found any in our area yet. What brand is your Holster?? Do they make those for GLOCKs as well?? Also, I cannot tell yet (I'm not Great at recognizing weapons YET) What Kind of Firearm are you carrying? My Husband has a Ruger LC9 but the trigger pull is so stiff & I am wanting to purchase a Shield soon but so far I LOVE my G19 had it for almost 2 years now. Gosh I could ask you stuff all day! Do you allow like a Paid Contact to where My Husband & I can FaceTime you & your wife to ask Questions like - How often do you clean your weapon?? Do you store it Bedside at night & how?? etc...

He isn't saying open carry is bad, he's saying it's less advantageous in the case of an emergency. I don't care if you've open-carried successfully for 50+ years, concealing a weapon is always better than brandishing it about Very informative and I gotta say you earned my sub bud

Gabe Suarez addresses the "where on your body" issue too. He seems to recommend appendix carry for the reasons you, Neil, mention in the video. The shooting yourself in the groin risk eventually comes down to "can you keep your finger off the trigger" until you need to fire. People who can't do that probably shouldn't carry at all. That's why training by professionals is so important. And practice, practice, practice. Kudos to GFA.
Thanks for sharing. I carry on my 8 but even in the car its hard to access. Maybe get a magnet to stick it under the dash for when I am driving. You never think you would have to think about so much when it comes to things like this.
very very informative I'm looking forward to being a concealed carry owner and applying this very method. Thank you so much!

I've been carrying now for about 3 years. I've carries full size guns to subcompact, with different style holsters and different belts. from my experience I'd definitely say gun belts make a difference and belt loops are better than clips. I've actually had my holster come out along with my gun while dry practicing so I'm all for using loops over clips.

Great video, I did subscribe. Never seen one on carry potions before.
Once I had my concealed carry permit I went through several hand guns and holsters. It took me about 10 months to finally find the right holster and gun and body position. Now, I never leave home now without my CZ 97B which is holstered at four o'clock in a pancake IWB holster. Very comfortable for me. There is one other thing I did to help ease the tension of wearing a gun all the time - I purchased good Insurance!

Excellent advice and concise. I also carry at 4 o'clock primarily due to an experience I had many years ago, plus it is the most comfortable and how I have trained. My cousin and I were robbed by a guy brandishing a knife in 1993. The bad guy told him to give him his wallet and asked me for my wallet as well (I was unarmed due to be underage). My cousin was carrying in the 4 o'clock position. While going for his wallet he went for his pistol and drew on the bad guy. Needless to say the bad guy took off (cops found him) and it saved us both. Carrying at the 4 o'clock provides great distraction if you are robbed or threatened because it gives the option to block the gun from the bad guy's sight line or use the "I'm getting my wallet, just relax man" excuse. It works.

I carry at the 3 o'clock because that's where I instinctively grab my firearm from. Also I only wear loose fitting shirts that have multiple colors and shaped to give me more concealment over a t-shirt or a polo.
