About Rod

Welcome to concealedcarryforbigguys, a site dedicated to us un-svelte types who still want to be able to defend ourselves.



Who am I?

Hi.  My name is Rod.  I’m 6’1″ tall.  As of January 1st, 2022, I weigh 305 lbs and have a 49.5″ waist.  So pretty big.

I’ve been carrying concealed since 2014.  I’ve lived in warm climates, which limits carrying options.  Jackets are easy; shorts and t-shirts are more of a challenge.  Along the way I’ve learned a few things that I’d like to pass along to others who may be starting or continuing the same journey.  And maybe even learn a few things from you.

Why am I doing this?

I’m not former military or law enforcement.  I’m just a guy who decided to take responsibility for his own safety and protection.  Like many of you.

I think I have something valuable to share.  I have gone through the decision process of which gun to carry.  I have a number of holsters, some inexpensive and a couple of pricier ones.

It’s kind of turned into something of a hobby, as well.  I have several guns that I’ll never carry or train with for defensive use.

If you ever need a hand or have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below and I will be more than happy to give my perspective.

All the best,

Rod
