    I'm starting to carry regularly and I'm looking for advice in 2 areas:

    1 - I carry AIWB.  My "sweet spot" for concealment without printing through T-shirts is right about 1:30 (12:00 being my front centerline).

    However, this position puts the lower edge of my kydex holsters right into the crease where my thigh meets my hip.  It's really getting uncomfortable and raw in that area between driving and sitting, so I need to do something.  I've been considering something along the lines of gluing a fold of moleskin over the lower edge of the holster, or stretching a sock or similar over the bottom half of the holster.

    Any other ideas?

    2 - A car lockbox.  I've been looking around and haven't found what I want yet.  My criteria:

    - Has to have a "stout" cable (something that can't be snipped with a common hand tool like a big wire cutters or linesman pliers)
    - No electronic anything - No biometrics, no electronic touchpad etc.  All mechanisms have to be purely mechanical
    - I'd *REALLY* like it to have a simplex-type pushbutton lock that I can operate in the dark/by feel
    - Big enough to fit a Glock 19 with Optic in a holster and an extra mag
    - Narrow enough to fit completely under my car seat (I need to measure to find out exactly how much height I have).

    Any suggestions for my criteria?

    For the holster question, I like your ideas. When I carry AIWB it's actually fairly comfortable seated/sitting (I am wrong-handed, which equates to about 10:30 for me) but when I get in the car I also pull the holster up a smidge and pull my shirt over the seat belt to minimize access time. (Side question: are you carrying AIWB with one in the pipe?)

    On the lock box question, you should definitely try to measure the space beneath the seat and make sure you can return anything you buy (if it looks tight you could mock up whatever you are considering buying with wood). The space under the seat is usually somewhat irregularly shaped and may have wires, harnesses, brackets, etc. that can get in the way. Plus you need something to loop the cable around. Also, I wanted to be able pull the box out and push it back it while seated in the car with the door shut, which can be quite challenging (cable coils oddly or gets snagged, box doesn't go back in smoothly, etc.).

    So, this law, this absurd law, is turning uncountable numbers of New Jersey citizens, honest law-abiding citizens into potential felons. Facing New Jersey’s typical draconian and outrageous penalties for technical violations of the law, as New Jersey is famous for. Think about how many guns here are covered. It is the largest gun ban that I am aware of in United States history if you think of how many guns come under this law. As we speak, this law is on the books. If you want to read the actual law, I’ll give you the statute. It’s N.J.S. 2C:39-3 subsection n. That’s on the possession prohibitions. N.J.S. 2C:39-9 k., which are the other prohibitions that are at a second- degree level, even more severe. You can see in the 39-9 law, that’s where you’ll also find all the other “Ghosts Gun” prohibitions and 3d printer and all that kind of stuff, all thrown in there.

    They used to send out membership cards and I thought I re-registered back in Nov 22 when I made a couple donations but they never sent me a card. I am trying to determine if I am actually a member. I still get their emails but I am looking for something to prove it (and they never gave out membership numbers like NRA and GOA do). Waiting for a response from my phone call and email.

    Also, ANJRPC just released this: https://www.anjrpc.org/page/PistolBraceWarning

    https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/breaking-new-jersey-has-enacted-the-largest-gun-ban-in-us-history/

    Our friends at Ammoland, who are based in the gun rights hell that is New Jersey, have uncovered what appears to be a little-known aspect of a gun control law that passed and was signed into law last June. They’ve just published an article by attorney Evan Nappen who has read the law closely and discovered that — intentionally or not — it’s actually the biggest gun ban ever enacted in these here United States.

    The bill was ostensibly intended to outlaw firearms without serial numbers. It outlawed homemade guns, 3D printed guns, even possession of the files for running a 3D printer or CNC machine for making firearms. It even outlawed slingshots, fer Chrissakes.

    And like so many laws that are enacted at all levels of government, this one was poorly written. And as a result, it’s incredibly broad.

    I talked to Mr. Nappen this afternoon and he tells me the law is quite clear that for a firearm to be legal in New Jersey, it has to have a serial number and the serial number must have been imprinted by a federally licensed firearm manufacturer.

    That means your Daisy BB gun — which under the state’s idiotic laws is considered a firearm — may have a serial number on it, but Daisy isn’t a federally licensed gun maker. As a result that Red Ryder in your kid’s closet now makes you a felon.

    The implications, however, are far wider than that. Think of every pre-1968 firearm owned by New Jersey residents. The Garand that Gramps brought home from the war in Europe? Felony. The duck gun that your uncle bought in 1955 and left to you in his will…you’re now a felon.

    Under the state’s God-awful gun laws, air guns, pellet guns, CO2 guns, muzzleloaders and black powder guns are all considered firearms. If they don’t have serial numbers that were imprinted by a federally licensed gun maker, they’re illegal. Technically that Canik TP9 that’s made in a factory in Turkey…but now one that’s federally licensed by the US government…is also banned. Yeah.

    Just bought a really nice OWB leather holster from We the People Holsters.  I have carried for several years with various IWB holsters, and I realized that I'm not sure what kind of cover garment to wear with an OWB holster.  For those more knowledgeable, would the OWB be better in cooler weather, under a long flannel shirt, a hoodie, or something like that?  I'm kind of slim, and I'm thinking I would have a hard time concealing it under summer clothing. 

    I tend to just stick with IWB. I am thin too so OWB doesn't always work. What clock position are you looking to do? In cooler weather rear IWB conceals just fine with an outer shirt, sweatshirt/hoodie, flannel shirt, etc.

    So far I have run AIWB for summer shirts as it seems to conceal better but I do think I need to try rear IWB more. I typically wear button down shirts with patterns, though some of the plain ones work fine for concealing too.

    One thing's for sure, I can't carry at 9 (3 for righties) at all regardless of the clothing over it.

    And the article even mentions there are over 900,000 silencers registered under the National Firearms Act.

    Also, of the five incidents cited, one used a homemade silencer, one case was a presumed use of a silencer, though none was recovered when the shooter was arrested, and one wasn't a shooting at all, the man was arrested for buying a silencer from an undercover officer.

    So TWO incidents in which the shooter might not have used a silencer (but still could have used the gun) had this law been in place.  

    900k sounds like, I dunno, .... COMMON USE?

    Does NJ law clarify what constitutes the correct signage? I am guessing not. My understanding is that in other states like TX (paging @Displaced Texan) the signs have to be conspicuous and even display the statute (I believe they are either 30-06 or 30-07 or something like that). The things at the malls I've seen are not signs at all, they are not obvious nor in the line of sight when entering so it seems you could have plausible deniability (assuming that's a real legal thing, IANAL). @DAHL's response was reasonable but nothing in this state is, especially WRT 2A so the safe play seems to me to go out of your way when going somewhere new to look for small signs, BS "code of conduct" notices posted off to the side in 6-point font, etc.

    I know it's probably just the way it is written, but the article makes a it sound like the governor had no idea until recently, that firearms, even in justifiable circumstances, can actually kill people.

     

    We know that a rifle like an AR can save lives and even the odds when one is attacked by multiple bad guys, but sadly, guys like this governor, who I'm sure has his own armed security, will never accept that.

    Let's not bring logic into the conversation!

    I just went through my summer button down shirts and I have to say I was pretty darn surprised that they all concealed well for carrying AIWB (plus with a spare mag up front!). Different colors, patterns (or lack thereof), fit, etc. I know conventional wisdom suggests darker colors with patterns that break up the lines and I agree with that by overall I had a hard time seeing outline on any of them. Some are a shorter cut than others so I definitely need to be aware when reaching up. I was planning on buying a bunch of shirts but now I think I will probably only pick up a couple. YMMV.

    Picked up my PA permit from Delco. Folks there couldn't have been nicer! And there were super busy too. If you go, know that parking there really stinks. I was able to find an empty lot a few blocks away (Jasper Street I think).
