This is a great place to get wonderful input from varied sources. So, it's sort of like we're "feeding" each other! I certainly appreciate the input that I've received here.

Think I'll add MY two cents in here. As Gramma, I've noticed that the little guys (almost 7 and 3) pretty much don't pay attention to whether I carry or not. They accept that chunk on my hip as being part of Gramma. Partially because their mom and dad carriy, I'm sure. So, I guess you could say that it helps to have the entire family "involved."

My stubby .45 rests quite comfortably just behind my right hip so, since I use my right hand for everything else, if I have to carry one of the guys, it'd be natural to tote 'em on my left hip anyway. So, it all balances out. I've found that the most comfortable holster (AND most concealable) is my C.T.A.C.. In addition to being quite comfy...it's also highly adjustable!

The primary issue is where in the heck do you put the pistol when it's NOT on your hip, I think. I address that by seldom disarming in front of them AND by placing the pistol high above where they can reach...even with a stool or chair's help. So, I guess what I'm sayin' is that the BIGGER problem is NOT when you have the CCW ON...but when it's off!

So, for what it's worth, EVERYone is safer if you carry EVERY day!

Hope this helps.
