'Tacular - the policy is pretty clear, so I don't plan to carry at work or ask for a written exemption.

1S1K52 - Regarding the gym, I do agree that a large fitness center is a prime risk area for an active shooter, and I fully support that you CC during your workout. I may explore ways to make it work for me.

Thanks y'all! Got a "verbal" exemption from my boss's boss to carry at work, but the handbook says what it says so...

To celebrate my new plastic I bought an XD subcompact 9 for my wife.

I haven't shot the 36, but the XDs sure is a great gun.

So, the gun didn't make you do evil things like my sister-in-law thinks?

Congrats on getting your license!

If anything, I felt LESS evil!

Thank you!!

So I received my Texas CHL in the mail yesterday and today was my first day packin'. Wore a collarless, XL shirt untucked, and XL is my normal size. I use a leather super-tuck IWB holster clipped on to a leather belt and jeans to conceal my Springfield Armory XDS. I must say, even though the shirt was not super puffy, the high quality of the holster and the super slim profile of the XDS made for a comfortable and flawless carry experience. My recent weight loss and my jeans being an inch or so too big helped, I'm sure. Also, I DID carry with a chambered round.

We ate lunch at the Arboretum and were in line with three APD, and then went to have some frozen yogurt. Went to the gym and carried my firearm in my gym bag which I always lock up with a heavy duty Master.

All in all an uneventful and seamless experience. Just gotta keep shooting and watching those tac videos on Panteao Productions!
