Re: Long time CHL Holder Preparing for First Carry

How do you Texas professionals handle concealed carry when dressed for work? For obvious reasons, unless the weather is nice, I don't wear a jacket unless I have to and it would raise questions if I did. That leaves pocket carry, which would really require a smaller gun for those days. Any tips?

Pocket carry with holster: find pants with "deep pockets." Dockers and some of the "off-brand jeans have pockets deeper than big-name.
Also shop at thrift shops and look for dress pants with pleats in front.

Another trick for IWB are vests -- not "tactical," but those long separated from three-piece suits.
Multicolored and/or patterned help obscure "printing." Made of a light cloth, are not too warm in Texas summers, but dressy enough to wear without a sport coat/suit jacket. Find in thrift shops for about $5. Should anyone ask why a vest -- you can truly reply that buildings in Texas are kept so cold, that you need a bit more warmth than the hanging meat in the next office.

BTW -- buy vest a size larger than will properly button up -- give yourself a bit of room to move
