Would you carry during dance lessons?

[BrewerGeorge]

Of course. Pocket carry.

I don't go any where without a pistol some where on me. It would be a good time to dress in your Civil War outfit and a 7 1/2 Colt SAA on your hip. No one will say a word about the gun but will ask loads of dumb questions about your dress if you are wearing green not blue or gray. Don't ask how I know!

Trust me guys, this is all for the sake of relationship improvement. I AM NOT A DANCER, lol. I decided to put it in a small back pack I carried.

Did this last Friday. Came straight from Hartford City to dance class in full uniform. Had more people want to try my shell jacket on than I expected. Also I can't recommend the Cha Cha while wearing artillery boots.

If ya plan on dancing with any type of regularity, and you carry regularly, it's a good idea to learn how to carry while dancing, isn't it?

Well, then dance lessons are the perfect time / place to learn how to do this effectively.

For me, I carry a gun. I'm not disarming because I'm headed to the dance floor, or dressed in a tuxedo for some social event, or some other similar situation.

All it takes is some forethought, like carrying in any other situation.

 

[Arthur Dent]

Yes.

If it was just me and my girl throughout the session, it wouldn't have crossed my mind. There was a lot of switching partners throughout...hmm maybe it would have actually turned some of the girls on if they realized they were dancing with a guy with a nice piece?

Dear Abby,

I recently met a guy at dance lessons. After I kept feeling a rather hard object on his side I came to realize he was carrying a handgun. I'm blushing and I don't really know what to say but...it turned me on.

Sincerely,
'On the fence anti'

I would never ever trust a swing dancing partner.

 

[Denny347]

Swing dancing with strangers. Sometimes we go places or involve ourselves in activities that make carrying impractical. Such as life. You were a USMC Sgt? I'm sure unarmed does not equate unprotected. I remember working a basketball tourney when a pistol went flying across the court, one of the players (legally of course) was carrying it. I don't carry while playing soccer, working out at the gym, visiting amusment parks and riding the rides, etc.

I vote that you find a way to carry securely. It might not be quite as accessible of a draw as you are used to, but the planning and practice means you are now doubling the benefit of dance lessons by learning another way to carry.

 

[stephen87]

For swing dancing, I would recommend thunderwear or off body carry. You won't be bending too much, and there shouldn't be much pelvic thrusting, so you should be good. I would avoid carrying on the hip or around your rear pockets. Hands go there all the time during swing dancing.

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

If there is any danger of an accident then you should figure out something better, dancing or not. Your carry method should retain the weapon even if struck by a car, so dancing should be safe enough.

As to how COMFORTABLE you would be depends on how big and heavy the gun is and/or how strenuous the dancing gets. The REAL concern is for your dance partner to realize that the weight that's been slapping their thigh ain't what they think it is........

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

I couldn't do any vigorous dancing because reasons, but for what I could do, if any chick had a problem with my EDC, it would be on her. Bite the wax tadpole, yanno?

You going to help someone with their footwork?
