During the week, I don\u2019t get away from the office very much. When I do leave the house, I\u2019m usually shuttling kids to and from school, checking our company post office box, or trying to squeeze in some desperately needed exercise time at a local public park. For those with concealed carry privileges, you may recognize these locations as a trifecta of carry restricted areas. And that restriction extends to leaving your concealed weapon stowed securely in a locked vehicle in the parking lot. As a multi-decade concealed carry license holder, I\u2019ve had to learn to \u201cleave home without it\u201d to stay within the letter of the law.<\/p>\n<p>While the firearm may be optional depending on my destination, I never leave my home without a knife and light. Starting out as an experiment in minimalist carry, The CRKT Shrimp and Streamlight Nano Light make an excellent keychain combination that I\u2019ve used for over two years. While their size may be small, I\u2019ve never found myself in a situation that left me wishing I had a bigger knife or more light. They fill their roles perfectly while taking up very little pocket space.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41592\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P2-EDC-Work-at-Home-Shrimp-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"edc-work-at-home-dad\" title=\"EDC: Work at Home Dad\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41592\" title=\"EDC: Work at Home Dad\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-41592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P2-EDC-Work-at-Home-Shrimp-1-360x300.jpg\" alt=\"Don\u2019t let the name fool you.

Seecamp LWS .380 and Del Fatti PH-3 pocket holster.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While it may not be very pleasant to shoot, the L. W. Seecamp LWS .380 is very easy to carry. The all steel .380 auto pocket protector weighs a scant 15 ounces fully loaded to 6 +1 capacity. Lacking any sights, the LWS .380 is purpose built as a handgun to be deployed at close range as a last resort. It is popular as a backup firearm or as a primary firearm for those that live and travel in low risk areas. Despite the small size, my LWS .380 has proven to be 100% reliable and suitably accurate with some practice.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Del Fatti is arguably one of the premier holster makers in the USA. Working exclusively in leather and exotic skins, each Del Fatti Leather holster is hand made to the buyer\u2019s specifications from one of Matt\u2019s catalog of holster models. The PH-3 pocket holster completely obscures the outline of the Seecamp, and the double wing design keeps the handgun from rotating when sitting and standing. The expertly boned holster back provides just enough retention to securely hold the pistol while still allowing for an easy draw.<\/p>\n<p>L.W.
