Concealed Options For “Executive Carry,” Online From FMG Publications
If you work in an office, concealing your gun within dress code parameters can limit carry options. FMG Publications Online Editor Mark Kakkuri finds the right rig to enhance “executive carry” and shares a few other top picks.
“If you carry concealed, you know what it means to dress around your gun. You might order pants with an extra inch or two in the waistband, wear a gun belt, wear a shirt untucked or add a second layer — some people, however, don’t have that option,” Kakkuri writes. “The 5″ wide DeSantis Belly Band offers a few pockets, easily accommodating a Kimber Eclipse Ultra II and a spare mag. Wearing this rig with dress pants and a tucked-in shirt, the pistol stays well hidden.” Read more

Oklahoma Game Warden Shoots Man Who Tried to Drown Him
Adair County — An Oklahoma state wildlife officer approached three people fishing in the Bunch area. The officer asked to see their fishing licenses and learned one of the three had a warrant out of Arkansas for a parole violation. As the officer attempted to take the man into custody, that man began to fight with the officer.
The men fell into a pond where the suspect tried to hold the officer’s head under water. The officer fought his way above the water and shot the suspect. The man died at the scene. The wildlife officer was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.
The chief of the Wildlife Department requested OSBI investigate the officer-involved shooting. Numerous investigative and crime scene agents are on the scene interviewing witnesses and documenting the scene. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office is also assisting.
The OSBI will not release the name of the officer who killed the suspect unless he is arrested or charged with a crime. The name of the deceased man will be released once his next of kin has been notified. OSBI will prepare a comprehensive report for the district attorney to review. The district attorney will determine whether the shooting was justified.
