When I decided to get serious about self-defense, obviously I thought about carrying a concealed weapon–specifically a gun. 

But everything I was learning about carrying a concealed weapon was confusing to me at first. 

How do I pick a holster, what knife and why, what else do I need to carry, etc? 

Well, little did I know that a guy I was already training BJJ with was one of the best concealed carry experts in the world: Jeff Gonzales. 

Jeff Gonzales helped build the “low-vis” program for the Navy Seals (when he was one), and now trains civilians on all aspects of carrying concealed weapons. 

So I sat down with him and went deep into this world to get all my questions answered. He gives great advice on things like: 

• What guns are best used for concealment, specifically which caliber of pistol.
• What holsters are best for concealment.
• What kind of knives he prefers, and why.
• What kind of belts to use to hold up your holster and guns.
• Why the magazine capacity determines what gun you carry, and what capacity is optimal.
• How to think about concealment.
• How much you need to worry about actually hiding your gun and knives.
• Lots of other things about concealment.

You can learn more about Jeff Gonzales here, and if you get the chance to train with him, I would highly recommend it.
