You can try to cinch up the pull string as much as possible, but it will still not provide a stable platform for the smallest of weapons. They are designed for high activity and movement, and because of this, they are most often designed with elastic waistbands and a drawstring to tighten them up. One of the main problems with shorts of this type is there is not an effective way to keep concealed weapons in place. However, I will provided my biased opinion on them. A couple have been recommended, but I have not used them enough to give a personal account. Some of these techniques I have tried and used personally and the rest are mostly from friends and colleagues. However, people are carrying while wearing these types of garments and it’s worth starting a dialogue around the subject matter. I understand there is no optimal solution for this and some of the “techniques, solutions, or methods” people use are pretty hokey. Now, I need to get something out of the way before we did into this deeper. The key is to use something that prevents you from losing control of your weapon, while still allowing a reasonable level of accessibility. You can take advantage of workout shorts with belt loops, belly band style holsters, or even concealment compression shorts. In order to conceal carry in basketball or gym shorts, you need to utilize a method that safely and effectively secures your weapon during physical activities. Other folks haphazardly carry it utilizing whatever method is convenient.

At this point, a lot of folks just leave their weapon at home or they secure it somewhere else. It can be enough of a challenge while wearing “normal” clothing, but what about when you are wearing something like basketball shorts or gym shorts? This adds a whole new level of difficulty. One of those challenges is managing the relationship between your clothing and your holster or method of securing your weapon. If you have carried a concealed firearm for any amount of time you know the challenges you may face in doing it effectively.
