[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Back up guns Do you carry one and how?

Posted: 3/24/2006 3:01:33 PM EDT

As a former LEO when I carry I tend to want to carry a back up. A baby browning is my fav. or a high standard .22 derringer. They give me many options as to hide locations.
What say you?

When on duty I carried a S&W 3913 in an ankle rig and a NAA .22 in my vest.

AR or shotty behind the seat of the truck.

Kinda depends on what you can use to conceal said gun. I'd opt for a small 9mm or .380 in a pocket rig.

I've carried a S&W titanium .38 on my ankle since they came out. Wouldn't work without it.

Complimented my Glock 19 with NAA .380 for two years but eventually sold the
piece because I hated the trigger pull. For me it was 100% last resort gun, because
I couldn't hit shit past about 5yds accurately. Will be purchasing a Rohrbaugh
arms R-9 after nexts years tax return comes back.

Carried a Walther PPK/S in a Galco Ankle Glove for or 8 years. Always shot better with my PPK during quals than I did my duty weapon.

Primary weapon is a GLOCK 19. For backup, I carry a Kahr PM9, Kel-Tec P-32, or both. I use pocket holsters and ankle holsters for the back ups.

Is that legal in VA?

I thought we could have a loaded concealed handgun if we have a concealed handgun permit, or if no permit, a loaded handgun in plain sight. But a rifle or shotgun loaded is a no no?

I very much hope I am wrong. I would love to keep my Uzi in my truck.

CCW not LEO here. I don't carry a backup pistol. I carry a knife in addition to my P7.

glock 19 w/ a smith 640 in left front pocket as backup

Personally i think its a great combo, I have been talking to people and I literally can get my hand on my .357 just in case...

My backup is a .380, NAA Guardian. I carry it in an off side rear pocket holster and it works great for me.

when i'm going somewhere REALLY hairy i will carry my kel tec in addition to my beretta. usually i do not tho. sometimes i just drop the kel tec in the wife's purse even tho she doesnt carry most of the time. i figure if the BG has his attention focused on me he won't notice her

I carried a S&W Mod 36 in ankle holster for awhile, but it was REALLY annoying so I gave up on it.
