Fanny packs have become less common so that now, the presence of a fanny pack (at least in some areas) nearly screams "I'm packing". Still, if it's not printing, I'd rather people suspect me of carrying than go without, so I use it sometimes (e.g. walking the dog at night in shorts and t-shirt).
My workplace is another "only criminals are allowed to carry zone," so I don't carry everyday, though I do carry in my vehicle. I keep a chest band (as someone referred to it) handy. Problem I have is if I am going somewhere on the way home from work, I can't get into this chest band thing w/o a place to almost completely remove my (tucked in) shirt. Not the quickest draw, but very concealed. Still nervous about wearing to church and freaking someone out. I want to check out some of these other inside the waistband (IWB) holsters, but I'm so cheap, it could be awhile.
One other thought/question: I typically commute on a motorcycle and carry in the hard, lockable saddlebag. I am not comfortable carrying even in the chest band in case I were to have an accident and land on the handgun. I'm not so worried about the gun going off, since I don't carry one in the chamber; more worried about breaking a rib or hip bone or something if I land on it. Anyone else ride and have thoughts on this? I can't believe the motorcycle cops ride with one on their hip, outside the waistband (OWB) style and all. Looks like that would be VERY painful to fall on.
Thanks,
Dave
p.s. the acronym abuse on this forum (as many) is way over the top. If you purchased an entire keyboard, why not just use it so we don't have to guess what everyone's saying? What's "ND" mean anyway?
