I've never understood the allure of AIWB carry

All the cool guys with "operator beards" on YouTube do it so why not? Most gun owners soul source of training and advice is YouTube, sadly. For a highly trained professional who has a high probability of actually needing the weapon, while still inherently dangerous, the risk of appendix carry is mitigated by working in a high threat environment and professional level of training. For the individual citizen carrying simply as an abundance of caution in their daily lives and WITHOUT a high degree of training, I dont see how it can be justified.

Every type of iwb carry violates rule 2 at some point

The responses here remind me of the Vegan-Nazi movement. "You don't do things the way that I do, so you suck and should be shamed into not doing things your way."

I have read on far more ND/AD's at the 3:00 position than AIWB carry. Heck, Massad Ayoob even had a recent ND and that was without a holster.

Sh*t happens when you party naked, folks. Sh*t happens.

Some of us have enough down there that its just impossible to not muzzle ourselves.....

:

I'm in good shape and still can't seem to avoid muzzling myself with AIWB

This is my viewpoint as well. I see how most all of these new CCW'rs are all buying these super sub compact guns so they don't have to stop living in shorts and a T shirt and they are buying guns that cant shoot worth a damn even at contact distances.

The smallest pistol I will carry is a SiG P225/228 or a G19. I will occasionally carry a S&W642-2 when I want something really small that can fit into a pocket (and be fired from within a pocket).

Obviously it depends on where you are, but that's one of the advantages of open carry in my situation. I don't have to compromise the type of gun I carry (usually a G23 or G22) if the clothes I'm wearing during a particular day make CC harder. But that's really not even very often and CC works just fine most of the time.
I don't understand the allure of a subcompact or micro gun except in limited circumstance. People can generally carry a larger gun than they realize. But that goes back to it being a lifestyle choice and making the decision to make the necessary adjustments to carry a gun.

Fake? No blood drips on white tile floor and the woman has gloves ready and seemed too calm, the old man just stands there like nothing is wrong.

I thought fake as well.

That lady was way to readily available to render medical.

That said, putting a gun where it points at your family jewels is not the brightest idea. No matter what kind of gun.
It is surprising how people go nuts and get agitated if muzzle swept by a shooter several lanes away, yet find it quite all right to put a gun next to their balls.

Crazy. One reason why I like manual safeties that actually block the trigger and sear. I always imagined carrying a glock, but these "internal safeties" don't fully cut it for me. Like this, anything can make the trigger depress and drop the sear.

"gun won't fire unless the trigger is pressed fully... That's our safety", no shiz.

Agreed.

Even a blank round would do some very serious damage to that very vulnerable area. I dont think it was fake. It was clearly surveillance video footage. Had it been a cell phone, I would have been more suspicious as well.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

This is a forum full of opinions. Don't like it? Just ignore it. You dont have to feel so self conscious or unworthy.... really. None of us mind or really even notice... I hate to think you are "melting" over it enough to throw around insults like Nazi and vegan. Would it help if we all said I take it all back and everyone should do it just liekyou?

Never would have happened if he racked it 6 times instead of just once

Relax, old-timer. Your interpretation and direction of my post is incorrect. Read my first response in post #2. I totally understand where you're coming from and your logic behind it. I agree with many points here, but there are work-a-rounds to everything.

Besides, good sir, the passive-aggressive tone of your posts (and others) alludes to the desire to defend and project the position that AIWB carry has no place for "normal" people and is only meant for "professionals" under specific missions. Maybe the individual is not capable of reaching towards specific areas of their bodies. Circumstances dictate the actions required, right? I know that not everyone can see past the initial "OMG" fear of AD or the fallacy behind one's personal opinion after alternative facts or views are presented.

Hence, no point in providing alternative work-a-rounds to a topic that's already superfluous on the interwebs.

She reacted too quick/seems too calm...

She could be a former Corpsman or ER Nurse for all any of us know.

Carrying a cocealed gun without an external safety is just foolish as there are many safer options out there.

Carrying a concealed gun without an external safety AIWB is beyond foolish.

Everyone thinks it won't happen to them until it does. I'm sure this guy thought carrying his Glock AIWB was perfectly safe.....until it wasn't.

....some guys should be carrying revolvers on empty cylinders....
