In another thread about Dressing Warm for our Snowy WI Winters made me think about, how in the hell do you CCW while looking like the Michelin Tire Man and still have quick access to your CCW rig without having to say, "Hay, wait a minute while I undress" ?

Pocket Pistol. This is how ima rollin Works well. I've packed many times when it was in the negative double digits in ND. Most folks keep their hands in their pockets when out and about as it's cold as shit. another option is a coat that has pockets that go straight through. Many trench coats and coveralls have this. Still, not the best option as navigating through the pocket can be a PITA. |

If anything you can carry a much LARGER pistol under winter gear. Carry something you can fire with your gloves on and then practice shooting it with gloves on. Practice drawing it safely (unloaded) at home from under several layers of clothing. big +1. An arctic parka can easily conceal an AK Folder.

Minor point, but the regulations I printed out along with my application seem to limit CCW to pistols (along with certain knives, clubs, etc). This is in the definition of "weapon." No rifles, shotguns, etc. I guess if you have a registered pistol receiver, you're GTG... |

I have carried a subgun, mostly just to say I did.

I had rigged this up.
Partly for laughs. Partly to address FerFal's notes on the Argentinian SHTF, when things arguably were bad enough to warrant a carbine/rifle, but you still couldn't get away with it in practical terms, and have a "cake and eat it too" solution. Partly because Blue Force Gear had stopped selling theirs by the time I'd learned of it. 
And WI spoils all the fun, making the permit handgun only. 
Events at last summer's WI State Fair, just a mile from my home, make me feel that feeling the urge to carry some sort of long-gun isn't so "Walter Mitty" after all. 
I too have a Draco, and I plan to SBR it, but the fact I legally could carry it on my CWP as long as it has no stock gives me pause. I guess I'll just have to buy another someday soon one to SBR, one to keep as a handgun.
