Congratulations on your new baby, and welcome to motherhood to the first time mamas! I knew going into first time motherhood that my conceal carry set up would need to change. I did not, however, anticipate the difficulty I’d have conceal carrying with an earthside babe accompanying me. Here are some considerations before you conceal…
As part of testing things for the site, I run through a lot of gear. From holsters, to guns, to parts, to EDC gear like watches.
