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.

SAF Lawsuit Allowed Chicago Uber Driver to Carry, Defend Self, Others

BELLEVUE, WA — A defensive shooting incident in Chicago involving a legally-armed Uber driver who intervened when a gunman opened fire on a crowd in Logan Square could not have happened without a concealed carry law that was passed by the Illinois Legislature because of a federal lawsuit brought by the Second Amendment Foundation.

No charges will be filed against the unidentified Uber driver, who used his licensed handgun to stop the alleged shooter, a 22-year-old man who now faces criminal prosecution. SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb noted that, had this armed citizen not been present, this incident could have turned out much differently, and much worse. Read more

Ninth Circuit Orders Rehearing of Pair of Key 2A Cases

A majority vote of the judges of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will result in the rehearing of a pair of landmark Second Amendment cases in California. According to Chief Judge Thomas, the earlier three-judge panel opinion “shall not be cited as precedent by or to any court of the Ninth Circuit.” The cases, Richards v. Yolo County Sheriff Ed Prieto and Peruta v San Diego both challenged the unusually restrictive requirements for concealed carry permits. The rulings from the 3-judge panels had led to softening of concealed carry restrictions and brought a petition to intervene on behalf of the counties from California Attorney General Kamala Harris. The petition from AG Harris is still pending.
