Idaho (Alien Gear Holsters)
I noticed that Alien Gear Holsters [2] (of Post Falls, Idaho) has greatly expended their Shape Shift line of injection molded holsters. Their new pocket holster [3] design is particularly nifty.

Wearing a badge does not absolve anyone from personal responsibility for their actions. If anything, it holds lawmen to a higher standard.

For those of us non-local but interested in the region, what are the ramifications of the “central Idaho Wilderness area plans”? Large tracts of formerly private land coming under federal control?

I didn’t care for the Alien Gear concealed carry holster. Nothing wrong with it, mostly it didn’t suite me. As to the pocket holster I won’t use a holster in which one has to flex a digit in the area of the trigger in order to release the weapon. [They also make the] Best Gun Belt I’ve owned. Hands down worth the money. Had it for years now as my daily use belt. It shows no appreciable wear. Sturdy and rugged. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
