Vicki’s new and long-awaited book, “FlexCCarry Solutions, A Positive Guide to Off-Body Carry,” is now available on Amazon!
FlexCCarry!
We here at Defense Training International, Vicki in particular, have launched a new Web Page: flexccarrysolutions.com.
The FlexCCarry Solution
The FlexCCarry℠ approach to “off-body carry” gives you the positive flexibility to carry concealed other than in a waistband holster! When you can’t carry on your belt, bags that meet the FlexCCarry℠ standards make it possible to effectively carry concealed in your Daily Go Bag. FlexCCarry℠ standards address the traditional challenges of off-body carry by optimizing your Daily Go Bag for quality, safety, and efficiency.
With the right gear, the proper knowledge, and hands-on experience, you’ll have the confidence to carry off-body effectively in your Daily Go Bag.
And I expect some controversy!
This Web Page directly addresses the issue of “off-body carry” in all its manifestations!
I was inspired by a number of our students for whom conventional belt-carrying is not a viable option for “going armed.”
An example is a friend and colleague who recently underwent abdominal surgery. He can work and otherwise “function normally,” but he can’t bear tension around his waist, so he can’t wear a belt, much less a belt substantial enough to support the weight of a pistol, spare magazine(s), and other accouterments.
Similar unavoidable restrictions apply to pregnant women, the wheelchair-bound, and those who, owing to work or religious requirements, can’t wear belts.

In any event, for these people,”off-body carry,” which we now call “FlexCCarry,” represents not only a viable solution but also a multitude of workable solutions!
Our new Web Page attempts to categorize/standardize various legitimate “FlexCCarry” solutions, and our new book on this subject will be available shortly.
As ethical instructors, we need to constantly remind ourselves who is working for whom and empathize with everyone who comes to us for enlightenment, not just average-to-large-size males.
The goal of the student and the instructor is always the same:
The improvement of the student!
Your comments are anticipated and welcome.

I think carrying in a purse is a stupid Idea. First off, criminals know what is on the market for all kinds of things. They know that you have a carry purse making you a target where if it is concealed, they shouldn’t know and it would be harder to get the gun off you. I will give you an example of how informed thieves are. I had a friend help me move that was a thief in his earlier days. He asked me if I cleared the special drawers. I looked at him like as if he was stupid… Read more »
MM offers a reasonable argument for on person carry. Another argument against a purse, bag, or other detached carry method was offered by a former prosecuting attorney, who is now a judge when he taught a very good course on legal considerations for CC. Some LEOs and prosecuters within certain west coast jurisdictions interpret “concealed carry” as the weapon MUST BE ON YOUR PERSON and CONTINUOUSLY UNDER YOUR CONTROL. Resting in a bag on the floor, in a bag in a shopping cart, or under any other circumstances while your hands, eyes, and person are even a short distance hence… Read more »
As always, I enjoyed the thoughtful discussion and exchange of ideas, not to mention the banter. That said, it’s my observation that more and more, regardless of the website, the censorship is becoming increasingly restrictive. And I’m not talking about cussing or epithets. More and more I’m having comments containing simple, straightforward expressions of opinion or point of view nixed because they evidently don’t “fit the narrative”.
I’m thinking the large blue pizza delivery bag in the first photo might be making a mistake. Better it was a shade of corrugated cardboard with some generic pic of the product. Might need scent sachets to pull it off, too. For those who demonize off body carry, wait just a minute. It’s ‘MURKA. OK? We do as we darn well please, and that includes wearing 511 pants to the range, or blousing them into our boots to get a gallon of milk at the dollar store. As for the need to avoid a tight pistol belt, I can say… Read more »
