Carrying a firearm every day comes with a unique set of challenges—most notably, printing. Printing occurs when the outline of your gun becomes visible through clothing, which can defeat the purpose of concealed carry and make you feel self-conscious. Everyday activities like bending, sitting, or reaching can turn a well-intentioned outfit into an accidental announcement.
The Common Struggles of Concealed Carry:
- Printing – The gun’s shape becomes visible under your shirt or jacket.
- Accessibility vs. Discretion – Finding a balance between being able to draw quickly and staying undetectable.
- Comfort – Many holsters and carry methods are uncomfortable for all-day wear.
- Clothing Limitations – Not all outfits work well with carrying, which can limit your wardrobe choices.
