Larry Vickers Bans AIWB Carry in His Classes
LAV is an exception. He is a celebrity and generally I choose to ignore celebrities. However, not everyone has LAV’s impressive resume and now long teaching career. As such, I am inclined to listen to him.
Larry Vickers has announced that all AIWB holsters are officially banned in his classes. He makes his case in a Facebook post. Now, he does not denouce AIWB carry, but his common-sense argument to ban it in his classes is compelling.
What do you think? Sound off in the comments below:

I've carried appendix, 4 o'clock, 2 o'clock, then back to appendix and so far, so good. I don't really know anyone personally who takes issue with Larry's rules. Most of the lower level firearms classes offered around here by gun ranges or institutions like Gunsite Ranch disallow IWB holsters in any position.
It's not even an option for the OFWG crowd anyway.
