I've had a CHL for a few weeks now, and am getting back into the habit of packing 24/7 (used to carry all the time on the PD, a few years back). The last couple days I'd been fighting off a nasty cold, so I stopped by CVS on my way home from work to get some cough drops.
My carry gun is a G30 with Don Hume IWB clip-on rig worn at 3:30 - nothing fancy. Whenever I'm in a vehicle, especially at night, I always pull my cover shirt up and tuck it behind the gun for easy access while seated. It's very easy/discreet to re-cover as needed, and much more convenient than moving the entire pistol/holster around like many folks do.
Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I wasn't feeling the greatest and just wanted to get home. I pulled into the store parking lot, got out of my truck, and started walking toward the entrance. About halfway there, it hit me... I forgot to cover my gun
Now of course it feels like everyone within a 3 block radius is staring at ME, so I just tried to cover up without making it too obvious. No one in the crowded parking lot seemed to notice, and no SWAT team showed up, so I guess I got away clean. Nothing like inducing a little panic in public to liven up an otherwise uneventful evening
