I want this to be a discussion on the weapons used for what is called "Deep Concealment" and is when you absolutely don't want to anyone to know that you're carrying and what you're carrying. It's not quite the same thing as "Concealed Carry." As I, Whitehood, will once again, shortly be changing my home from rural America to big city USA, at least for a short while, I find the discussion interesing to say the least. Here in rural NM just about no one including local LEO care very much if or what you're carrying and where, especially if they know you, carry permit or not. I just love rural peace officers. However, in the big city, the rules change, and even a concealed weapon that is printing can get you into trouble. In addition, while in NM, I'm not concerned about being behind the power curve in terms of firepower, in the city, I just might be. Keeping that in mind, my concerns in terms of a deep carry weapon are that of the threat itself. More and more, the gang problems is becoming more evident with the threat becoming multiple bad guys, now carrying better weapons and with at least a modicum of how to use them tactically. Lets start talking by first deciding on the type of weapon ( revolver vs semi-auto), capacity and caliber.
