At the stores, I continually was hold my stomach in so that I wasn't pushing the gun out. Husband noticed and was laughing at me. At the restaurant, I had to go to the restroom to re-adjust cause I felt like it was sticking out of my ribs. All of which I was the only one that noticed any of this. Husband also told me to stop holding my elbow against the gun, so I switched my purse to that side. lol. It is definitely something I am going to have to get used to. All in all it was a successful first carry weekend. Still haven't done my official Wally walk yet though.

Happy carrying and wish for all to never have to use.

Let me know what you think about the Shield. We were talking to a guy at Winchester gun range in Ft. Worth last weekend about them and he said that he was very impressed with the Shield. I might have to look at getting one but will probably be a little while.

Isn't there a supervisor watching the desks to make sure things are moving along in timely manner Ok, I'm done for now, thanks for listening.

Sounds like you need a trip to the range then a drink followed by a good massage.

ALL OF THE ABOVE
