Newbie question, but what's "Mexican carry?"

Also, where do you get the clip for clip draw?

I believe "Mexican carry" means without any sort of holster, just stuck in a pocket or tucked inside your pants.

No mexican's in Georgia, to my knowledge it's against the law for a civillian to carry w/out a holster/cilp. but It doesn't bother me, I much prefer a holster/something that can keep it upright.

Trent,

No Mexicans in Georgia huh......... ;D I don't think the BG's worry to much about the law in Georgia either.

Usted quizás deba la paga mejor atención a lo que pasa alrededor de usted allí en Georgia.

I know being from Massachusetts this sounds silly but, what kind of a law is restricting someone from carrying a gun without a holster ??? , Yes your honor it was a good shoot, self defense but the prosecution requests a year in jail for carrying his firearm in his pocket ??? ??? ???

I guess there is a nuttier state than Mass

In the state of Ohio is it legal to carry a gun without a holster if you are not in a vehicle (with a valid CHL) In a car if it is on your person it must be in a holster of some kind.

I think holster requirements like that are enacted in an attempt to prevent accidental discharges. If the trigger is protected by a rigid material objects cant catch it and cause a AD. Also with a holster the gun is less likely to get away from you and hit the ground and discharge.

Do belt slides and belts with built in holsters qualify? If they do and you wanted (for some reason) to carry mexican style than these would be a legal way to do so in your state(s).

I had no idea that mentioning carrying "mexican style" would created such a hoop-la. We now find out that in at least two states, and I would venture to say there are more; that its against the law to carry your handgun without a holster. It amazes me how our law makers come to these decisions, however, I'm not surprised, thank goodness I live in a state that at least when it comes to gun laws they still have some common sense, but I am sure that will pass too, considering the fact that most politicians everwhere have neither backbone or insight of their own to stand on, but rather yield to the ideologies and desires of others so they may obtain their own desires, not to mention get re-elected. Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

I just picked one up off of the "dreaded" ebay for $16 plus $1.80 shipping.

I would have to agree with the states that DO require the use of a holster while carrying. While I would be comfortable carrying the P64 without a holster there are many guns I woud not recommend carrying without. I would not carry my XD loose and I would definelately question a persons ability to think if they chose to carry a Glock loose. As we all know, there are many guns like the Glock that do not have any external saftey to prevent the round from firing (providing a round is in the tube). Yup, I think all states should have the rule. We have to remember that each accident that is caused by a CCW holder makes us all look bad.

I have often carried a browning hi-power or a 1911 "mexican style" with no issues at all--it is not the place of legislators who in reality, no nothing about proper forms of carry to dictate how I carry my pistol, nor is it your place.

reprisejim · Post by **reprisejim** » September 27th, 2007, 9:31 pm

My intention is not to upset anyone. I am pointing out that SOME guns are not suited to carry "mexican" style. Your hi-power 1911 is not one I would have a problem carrying in that way either. How are our lawmakers to draw that line??!! Are you saying that carrying a Glock in your pocket or "mexican" style is a good idea?? I think if one chooses to carry that way with that pistol, that person should not be carrying! It is a blatent disregard for safety which by-the-way is the primary reason that one carrys a firearm. That person is most likely much more in danger of an accidental discharge than being a victim of violence. That person becomes a liability to himself and all around him. With that said, I would rather everyone be required to carry in a holster (I am not saying that it has to be a level 3!!!). They could never write a law that says some people who carry a particular model of gun can carry without a holster and some with another model must carry with a holster. Is it that big of a deal to buy a holster? They make them for every situation. I don't think that anyone will argue that carrying without a holster is just as safe as carrying with a holster with every gun.
