Ok so I did get the help of the cold weather today. I had the help of a jacket. I took a half day at work to run some errands so I went home got my glock 19 with my comptac minotaur holster. I went to Wally World though I didn't complete a true walk to did go in the store of course right when I walked in the you stole something siren goes off. Quick glance and it was someone leaving. LOL yeah for a sec I thought... me?

So I got 40lbs of dog food. That was a good bend and toss in the cart test. I happened to wonder around a lot getting x-mas stuff. After a great run at wal-mart I went to Central market which also went fine. I felt a little cheated having the jacket. But it was far to cold to go without. After that I stopped at the vet to pick up my puppy.

So I have to say I was really comfortable. The holster fits very well. I do need a "real" belt but that holster really assists my less than gun belt I have. I wore it about 4 o'clock and it felt fine driving around. I really thought I'd feel different carrying but I didn't. I will do a more complete Wally World walk when I can go in just a shirt with no jacket, I bet then I'll really feel it.

Thats great!

You'll feel increasingly comfortable with it as time goes on. Soon, you won't give it a second thought really.

If you purposely leave your weapon at home for any reason, you'll actually feel naked without it.

Well one thing about it, my pants stay up far better with the gun!

Congratulations!

I also just had my first concealed outing a couple of days ago. It's quite an experience. I guess it will be like wearing a seat belt. When I was young (and stupid... well stupider than I am now) I would never wear a seat belt. When I went through pilot training we did not have a choice. After that it just feels wrong to not have it on. I guess that carrying will eventually be the same way.

I feel very normal when wearing my pistol. I feel out of place with out it.

Went for a job interview yesterday, forgot my weapon (would have left it in the car), felt naked for sure. I always take it with me.

i've had chl for a short time now. I'm not carrying everyday, but when I feel I can (i'm a professional musician and have to go to 51% bars all the time) . The times I have carried wearing a jacket I never think twice about it. when i have it iwb with just a shirt, I go from forgetting about it to feeling like the whole world is staring at me and back and forth.
I am getting more and more used to it though. I'm looking forward to being totally comfortable about carrying!

I've got a car safe that I secure my carry in when I do the 51% (no... I don't drink and carry, but like gwise55, I'm a professional musician). Iwb is getting easier.. I've found the right combination of weapon and holster that works well for me.
