Getting the right holster is the answer for concealed carry or even open carry. I've found the old tried and true leather holsters are still the best. Anyone that has owned and carried handguns for a long period of time has a collection.
1. Buy one fitted for the gun you intend to carry.
2. Stay away from nylon
3. No fancy mechanisms. I had trouble with one that requires tilting the weapon a certain way to extract it. Something like that is lousy under pressure. Release buttons jam too.
4. Pay top dollar and get the best you can afford and only buy once. If you buy cheap ones you'll have to replace them anyway and end up spending the same.
This one is one of the best articles I've read on holsters.

EMP Death Totals
In an article posted at World Net Daily there is a predication that 80-90% of Americans would eventually die as a result of the systemic collapse from an EMP event. Of course it's hard to accurately predict outcomes like this in the wake of the Y2K non-event, but if you look at our dependency on electronic devices that might be vulnerable to EMP energy then you would have to say that it makes sense to take some precautions. The easiest one is to drop a few little AM/FM radios into ammo cans or some other shielded box. You might want to further insulate that with mylar bags and bubble wrap before you put them in a metal container. If you want something other than simple communications then you might add a CB radio. They're cheap. You can find all this on Amazon.com. I see Sony portable radios for $10 and CB radios for $30. Beyond that, you might think about how you have all of your wealth stored. If it is just numbers in bank accounts then yes, you could lose it all, but who knows. So it makes sense to have currency on hand including coins, precious metals, and of course the other white metal known as lead in the form of ammunition. Rimfire .22 is a safe bet since you can always plink with it and it is cheap compared to centerfire handgun or rifle ammunition.
Food is still your number one priority when it comes to EMP concerns since the availability of food may disappear the moment all unshielded electronic devices are destroyed by the pulse. Also plan to have some non-electrical means of heating your food.
Lastly, get your tinfoil hat on to protect yourself from a brain erasure in a strong EMP attack. Just kidding, as far as I know we have no risk for that. Otherwise we couldn't get into an MRI.

The Coming Riots
DHS is preparing for the coming expected riots with equipment to suppress the populace.
Scalia says the 2nd Amendment still allows for gun rights regulation.
Riots are coming according to Rogers.

Best Pocket Guns
I have my own preference for pocket carry and recently have moved to a Sig Sauer P238 in .380 as my favorite to shoot and most accurate with minimal recoil, light weight, and small size. My second in line is the Kahr CW9 since it has the hotter 9mm round. It is a bit heaver and larger but the extra punch of the 9mm really makes a difference for confidence in self defense situations. I also have a Smith and Wesson Model 642 .38 special revolver that I like for a jacket pocket in the winter where its size and weight seem less concerning and it makes for a great great vehicle concealment gun for reliable and fast access if needed. (Of course, this is only for places where it is legal to have one on you or in your vehicle in close proximity.)
Here is a video that somewhat parallels my suggestions.

How to foil a Robbery, Flash Mobs
Here is a 71 year old man foiling a robbery at an Internet Cafe in Florida and still the left wants us to stay disarmed.
Here is a flash mob in Jacksonville Florida that went on a crime spree inside a Wal Mart.
Here is a flash mob in Oregon.
If you have any doubts that things aren't getting dangerous out there just take a look at these videos.

Checkpoints in America
Here we have a guy with some courage to tell the authorities that he isn't interested in being their patsy at a checkpoint.
I'd like to go free on my way.
Why Mr. Anderson. This video goes well with the one you just watched and it probably represents our future.
How about the 100 mile exclusion zone on U.S. borders where the constitution no longer applies. This could mean daily searches.
Meanwhile, as they tighten the screws on U.S. citizens the Feds are cutting enforcement on the borders. Here is a story about the closing of 4 border patrol stations.
How about some obedience training for U.S. travelers courtesy of the TSA as they told to freeze on command
These are ominous signs that much is going wrong here in the U.S.A. They open the borders and tighten the screws on us to protect us from the threats they allow into the country.

Book Reviews - Screwed, The Survivors Club
Here are a few books worth getting from the library.
Screwed by Dick Morris & Eileen McGann is a great rundown of the raping of the USA by China, Saudi Arabia and numerous others.
The Survivors Club by Ben Sherwood is an excellent treatment of research on survival. It reads well too since he includes stories of survival rather than just clinical info.
