Now that you're comfortable, find a reason to carry at the airport. I find that place a particularly interesting carry location.
Picked up WifeGBiv last night. Just stood around and watched football on the TV's above the baggage carousels waiting for her delayed flight. I've had a CHL for over 15 years and the airport still makes me uneasy. :oops:
Given the TSA's propensity for "extending their boundaries", I'd say that your uneasiness at the airport is well founded. They've pretty much proven recently that they cannot even follow their own policies, let alone the laws of the State. Who knows when they might institute a "freeze".

To the OP: Congratulations on your Wally Walk. You are far braver than I was. There is no way that I was going to show up in public in a t-shirt until I was carrying for more than 6 months. I've always worn my shirt tails out and have a number of shirts that hide my "ample" middle so covering a gun, too, was no problem. My Wally-Walk was in the middle of school supply season and the two different Wally Worlds that I went to (I was looking for something the first one didn't have in the office supplies area) gave me more concern about being bumped into than about someone noticing "the bulge." My first time of being very close to an LEO wasn't in Texas so that added a element of concern. I always wonder if LEOs in other States understand reciprocity for CHL as well as I think that I do.
