Meeeee Tooooo.
BYW not near as much wonder or doubt, but in the same manner.
I needed an allen wrench one time for a grip screw & did not know the size. When I told the local hardware store owner I had a CHL what I needed & would need to have the gun to find the right size wrench could I bring it in & how did he want it.

Looked at me, my vest, said hand it to me & we will take care of it.
He looked, & first guess fit. I reholstered & bought the wrench.
Deep East Texas is a great place to live.

Good idea. There would have to be one of 2 responces.
1.
2.

I am currently debating whether my next handgun purchase should be a pocket pistol or a full-size 1911. I'm leaning more each day toward the pocket pistol.

Good thinking. Everyone here knows my 1911 loyalties & we have a lot of fun over it.

Cover your Personal Defense needs first then get your "I love it" carry gun.

Say I am carrying and I go to the doctor for a check up and there are no signs posted at all. The Doc has to give you a shot in your butt or needs to listen to you breathe (both happened this week ) or if you go to try on a tux and the guy measuring you wants you to remove your shirt to try this and that. How do you handle such situations? Do you just have to be proactive and leave it in the car when you might have to lift up your shirt? Or am I missing something? Thanks and hopefully Ill have the plastic in my hand tomorrow along with an answer

Excellent thinking through questions from the start rather than gettin caught in a tight.
An excellent read is in the General CHL Forum. "Got Busted. Hilarious." August of 006.
This is my account of my Dr patting me on my extra mag & thinking it was a gun. There are 3 pages following of other board members experiences & ways to carry at the Dr. Office & other places you have mentioned. BTW That Dr & his wife went to the range w/ me last week & they both want to go back.
After you read that, if you will do a search & just use the word "Busted" you will find many more excellent suggestions.

Concerning trying on clothes: If all you are buying is a dress coat or jacket, go ahead & take a pair of pants to the dressing room too. You dont have to put them on. I suggest always trying on EVERY PAIR OF PANTS YOU BUY w/ your carry rig ON. Some dont but some wish they had afterwards. My wife or Mom (or both) always go w/ me to look at fit.

For the Tux, or getting fitted for a suit. Wear jeans to the wedding
Now to be serious. I have pastored a church for 34 yrs now & been asked several times to wear a Tux at their expence. I have just said no.

Now to you. Pocket carry is about the best in that situation, I think. If your wife has a CHL you can also let her carry a large purse w/ 2 in it.
Fanny pacs may look odd to some but are an option.

Bottom line on this is you are thinking ahead & that will translate into awareness on the street. GOOD JOB.
