EDC using a duty belt in addition to pants belt?

[Smoke]

So far, nobody seems to have noticed. Will the duty belt change that?

....Yes...

 

[Smoke]

I don’t use a belt. I wear yoga pants and they hold everything nice and tight against my skin.

We need pics.

No. We. Don't.

The second belt, not attached to your pants belt and worn below it, does have one advantage: it can sag with the weight of gear and not drag your pants down.

I’ve noted a few posts where husbands would have their wives carry their gun in the wife’s purse. I knew a few cops did this when we were mandated to be armed off-duty. In addition to being a terrible idea it could get the wife criminally charged if she does not have a carry permit.

Unless you are in a Constitutional carry state. There are at least 25 of them now.

Our agency required us to carry concealed, but also issued duty belts, because we also carried a badge on the belt, flashlight, pepper spray, handcuffs, double mag pouch, etc.

The only way to conceal all that “stuff” and still be able to get to it was to wear what I used to call the “armed plainclothes federal officer vest . . .” I think they were sold with a pair of RayBan Aviators . . .

I never wore one, and still managed to carry what I needed to carry and still avoided looking like a Weeble . . .

Aren't those "armed plainclothes federal officer vest" also referred to as the "shoot me first" vest??

I would suggest cargo pants with lots of pockets to distribute items off the belt instead of a second one. And wouldn’t items carried on the waist belt cover or interfere with those on a duty belt?

Oh no, not cargo pants....

No we don't.

I thought that originated for wearing a photographers vest but not carrying cameras.

I actually wore one to tote my camera gear in the Yucatan, while visiting ruins. Got lotsa pix. Don't believe I've worn it since, thought I was gonna die.

I remain skeptical of the “shoot me first” vest critique. If it was gonna happen, it woulda happened by now somewhere. I don’t think it has.

 

[Muss Muggins]

It doesn’t. It’s a corollary to the open carry “shoot me first” school of thought.

[Muss Muggins]

Well, I never got shot at wearing one, and never saw anyone get shot at that was wearing one. So there’s that . . .
