Carrying A Concealed Weapon

Once the concealed weapons permit is procured, the next step is to keep informed about the necessary safety measures.  For example, keeping a concealed weapon unloaded doesn’t make sense, but keeping the safety off as well is just plain silly.  Always ensure the safety on your concealed weapon is on, and never carry a concealed weapon that doesn’t have a safety.  It’s also a good idea to carry a holster to hold your weapon within easy reach and keep it secured.  Having a concealed weapon jumbling around in a backpack or purse makes it easy for someone else to remove without the owner noticing.  Revolver holsters tend to be a practical choice for most concealed weapons.

We all know what cowboys look like, but chances are some people might be in the blue about how to create a classic cowboy outfit.  Whether it’s a costume for a social occasion, or just a desire to appear more like a cowboy, here are the essential components of all cowboy outfits:

~Belt and Holsters~ No cowboy would be caught without their belt and cowboy holsters which serve to hold their pistols and also keep their chaps secured.

~Cowboy Hat~ The cowboy hat is the most recognizable component of the cowboy outfit, just make sure to get an original western hat and not a cheap straw imitation!

~Chaps and Pants~ While the pants can be simple jeans or made from sturdy canvas, the chaps should be made from leather and fit comfortably over the pants.

~Shirt and Scarf~ Most cowboys wore standard button up shirts that were tucked into their belt, the scarf can be any color, and is used to protect the mouth and nose against dust inhalation.

~Cowboy Boots~ Most cowboys wore spurs on their boots, though this isn’t an essential part of the cowboy outfit.  Cowboy boots without spurs are just as feasible, as not all cowboys preferred their use over their heels.
