Nice to see that everyone has gotten their cards. I've been carrying my P238 daily since mine arrived on 9/2, using a Sig pocket holster. Must work well, as no one seems to notice. The other day, my wife hit me with the "Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me..." line. I told her I was happy to see her, but... Yeah... It's a pistol in my pocket. She apparently hasn't noticed that I've been packing everywhere we've gone for over a month. Best wishes to all in the Class of August '11...

And here is a picture of my carry weapon for now. I do need something a little more compact!

Beretta 96 .40

How has everybody been doing with EDC? I am still carrying my full size XDm .40. I gave up on getting the hard chrome KelTec PF-9 and ordered a blued model with black grip, it will be in some time next week. So, back to waiting . I have my holster, gun belt already, and even got a good deal on a crimson trace laserguard. I will post a picture in the EDC thread once my gun arrives. Carrying has almost become second nature now for me.

[Cool Arrow]

I see things differently a bit. I try not to get into places that may be trouble. I carry my .380 more than the XD9 SC but I think I will carry that one more during the cool months.

Glad you finally graduated, Bill. I thought you were going to have an anurysm before it arrived.
I'm in school and it keeps me too busy to play here very much for the time being. But I've carried everywhere I've gone since the plastic arrived. Mostly my Bodyguard .380. I have a little holster with a clip on it that I can wear with pants that don't have belt loops or pockets. Even with fitted tshirts, you can't see it at the appendix position. Women who don't want to change the way they dress just don't really want to carry badly enough. It also disappears in jeans in the Infidel holster from CompTac. When I'm wearing a cover garment, I'll carry my M&P9c in the Minotaur. I don't leave my bedroom without being ready.
Can someone point me to instructions on how to post photos? I haven't figured that part out yet.

Hey everyone, Things in Grapevine are going well and I agree with Cool Arrow. There is a different feeling about the way I drive, where I go and my overall outlook. Kind of interesting and not something I expected. Brushgun, the max tuck is working well. I have been carrying everyday and to tell you the truth I don't even think the wife realizes its there. Which is a good thing since she can't grasp that a gun can be a very safe tool when used correctly. And Bluejay, youre right about the anurysm scare!! Hopefully I have relaxed and can see the world through a clearer set of eyes now. As for the posting the pictures I do it through a website called photobucket.com. You have to load the pictures to a server so the forum can see them. You can't post the pictures directly to the forum. When you upload to photobucket that site will give you a link to post on the thread. That link appears as the picture. Its really easy. Send me a PM if you need help.
