Please consider upgrading your subscription to help us protect all churches.In this video, I walk through what I carry to church and why I have chosen each piece of equipment. If you carry a firearm as part of a church safety team or simply as a concealed carrier attending church, I think you need to look seriously at whether your equipment matches the threat you believe you may have to face. I cover my normal handgun setup, a smaller concealed carry option, communications, less lethal options, body armor, medical gear, and the equipment I keep available if an incident requires me to move from a handgun to a rifle. You can carry capable equipment without walking into church looking like you are headed to a SWAT callout. The goal is to blend in during normal church activities while having the equipment, training, and options necessary to protect the congregation if something happens.Gear Mentioned in the VideoFirearms and Firearm Equipment* Glock 45, 9mm* Glock 20, 10mm, my normal church carry handgun* Glock 43X, discussed as a smaller concealed carry option* .300 Blackout rifle/carbine* Speer Gold Dot 9mm ammunition* Trijicon SRO red dot optic* Aimpoint COA red dot optic, on the Glock 43X* Radian barrel and compensator* Radian Magwell* Streamlight TLR 1 HP X weapon light* Palmetto State Armory Dagger magazines, 15 round magazines used with my Glock 43XHolsters and Load Carrying Equipment* T.REX Arms inside the waistband holster GET 15% off with code CWT* T.REX Arms Bailout Bag / Active Shooter Bag GET 15% off with code CWTT.REX Arms discount: Use code CWT for 15% off eligible equipment.Body Armor* Premier Body Armor GT plates* Premier Body Armor soft body armor* T.REX Arms concealable hard armor / covert plate carrier* Security identification placardsCommunications* PocLink radioLess Lethal* POM MK 3 pepper sprayMedical and Support Equipment* T Rex Arms Med Pouch (use code CWT for a 15% discount)Clothing and Footwear* Poncho button down shirt* KÜHL hiking pants* Altama shoesThe specific clothing is less important than the concept behind it. I want clothing that allows me to blend in with the congregation while still being able to move, run, access my firearm, and carry the equipment I need without advertising everything I have on me.The video goes into considerably more detail about how these pieces work together and why I have different options available depending on what happens. My basic approach is simple: armor, bag, and carbine. This is a public episode.
