From Chapter 5: 10 Ways to Spot Someone Carrying a Concealed Gun

From Chapter 8: A Word on Gun Belts
“Wearing your jeans with the waist band around your knees is in vogue these days. While stylish and trendy, this doesn’t work so well for concealed carry with waist holsters. It’s bad enough having your wallet swinging around at knee level. Having a gun swinging around that low would certainly make you the center of attention. Unless of course, you live in Mogadishu.”

It seems to be an informative book. I'm curious to know about the history of gun holsters and why some pocket holsters work and some doesn't etc. The price of this book is affordable one to buy. I'm very much interested to order it.
