Im getting pretty used to Carrying in Public now. It's just becoming a daily routine. I have been practicing a lot at the range. I have some free range time for buying 2 giun from them. I also Dry fire practice & stuff. The new wears off after a while. Im still in the process of getting slight larger shirts that are square at the bottom so they look OK untucked. Carry on.......

One more thing Id like to share- I cant carry at work so I lock it up in the truck. I dont have any stickers on my vehicles having anything to do with guns -not even NRA stickers. NO CHL badges or any sissy stuff like that!!!

SQLGeek - I'm on day five & I'm starting to get used to carrying in public. I keep my License easy to retrieve when needed by LEOs or just in case of an accidental discovery. By my drivers license.
I too went to the mall looking for concealment vests & Stuff. No 30;06 signs anywhere. At first I was thinking "Im I susposed to be walking around like this"???
My new paddle holster is awesome & I can take it off when I get to work & back on when I leave. The gun locks in the holster & it has a belt clip to keep the holster in place.
Im not as nervous around LEOs now when in cafe's & stuff. Im definatly well concealed!!!

This is my 4th day with my License. Been several place. Finely did the Wally Walk last night. It's working well & becoming use to it.
I got a lite Tan safarri vest saturday at Pro Bass, sommer type that will go with most anything I wear. Got a shirt at Academy one size larger.Carring a full size sevrice Glock 17 Gen4 is not uncomfortabe at all. I also carry a belt Mag clip that looks like a knife holder.

Looks like DPS is moving faster-you guys waiting - It will be real soon!!!!!

Im pretty much prepared. I will be using my OWB concealment holster with my Glock 17 Gen4. (Supprisingly it hugs my body well & doesnt print at all)
The Ammo Im using is Hornady Critical Duty. It is less over penatrating & doesn have bullet set back problem. A spare mag on my weak side in a holder.
Also Hyro-Shock is good ammo too.

My plastic arrive in the mail today. Im going to start my new life style tonight. The Wally Walk.
My little brother has had his CHL for 18 years & is Grandfathered into the system. He was telling me that after the new wears off going armed is like taking youw walltet & just become routeen. I will learn what concealment methods work best as I go.

I also ordered mine from Amazon. There pretty reliable.

6378 ALS Concealment Paddle Holster

Jallen- Thats scary. Al the more reason to be completely concealed.

I would look online. I just ordered a holster that may work for me. Most of the gun store will let you try a holster in the store. Im tryint to find a ballance all around-sitting in my car etc...... My belt holster for is hard to slide to a confy position with out unbuckling my belt.
How does it feel to finely have you lacense?

Walmart is the best test for first time concealment in the public. When you squat to pick something up instead of bending & reach for stuff on the top shelf with the weak arm & practice keeping concealed though out you, will look normal because everyone is wierd at walmart!
I will just be natural & go about my business normally. Being careful to stay concealed.

Look at the way people dress at walmart!!!! you will not be noticed! You will feel confortable for first time carring.

SQLGeek How long have you been in Mailed status?

Cesar31910 I know the feeling! I should have my CHL later this week. My wife told me I was going alone. LOL.
It wont take me long to get used to the carry.
