If we could all run our business the way the Government runs theirs...we could all be.....I dunno....Bankrupt :)

Yup...I'm over it now...went to Home Depot/Grocery Store with the wife....no problem...hell I forgot all about it....

How does one take pics of himself doing the Wally Walk?
I did stop at the Valero gas station and got a cup of coffee. Yes it felt weird carrying that Glock .45 cal under my shirt. I had to consciously not hold my arm out....and walk normal....I had this "urge" to have my right arm out further in a unnatural position. The gun is not even in the way...I don't know why I feel that urge to hold my right arm further from my body than normal when walking.....there is no reason for it....but it all went well....got my coffee...went to the feed store...shot the bull with the boys...nobody said anything...I didn't say anything and I don't think anybody noticed or they would have commented for sure....
I had my Glock model 36 with the Peirce +1 extension...in a SERPA paddle holster...never moved....Driving nor walking did I even really notice it at all....not in the way of the seatbelt....nothing...Wore blue jeans and my regular shirt with a collar...covers everything nicely...all my untucked shirts fall about pocket length and my setup for all my carry pistols ( Glock 36/27 and S&W 9VE) all are above that pocket line...so I wear my regular clothes...nothing special...I like the way the paddle holsters put the gun up higher rather than lower.....I can get into my right front pocket and get my billfold no problem....as the gun is in between the two and up higher.....so it is perfect....No Don Ho shirts for me
I would be remiss if I did not thank the forum here for all the info on this board and the individuals who make it "lively"...you guys know who your are

I am getting the feeling that I may me the only June 2009 left. Starting to get lonely in here!

I had the "fingerprint card two step and slide" ordeal myself. I probably lost 6 weeks of the process right there.
Oh well.
