So, I did hit the gun show today, and I picked myself up a basic holster for IWB until I can talk the boss into a better one. Got a leather one that the guy claims he made himself...and I got two discounts on it: the end if the show discount, and the "you took too long digging the ten out of your pocket so just gimme the twenty" which made it half price.
Following that, I went home, threw on my belt and my new rig with the gun in it, and did the required 10 minutes in front of the mirror. Went outside and did some work on the truck, until I realized I needed some stuff from the parts store.
Therefore, my first carry was to O'Reilly's. I have no pics, so I know it didn't really happen, but I did check the lot for BGs! Checked the bottom shelf and the top, chatted with the counter guys, and my only moment of semi-panic was while checking out. There was a young child behind me who started doing the overly loud whisper... "DADDY... Daddy... DADDY" and I thought I heard him say "gun" but dad didn't dial 911, so I guess my imagination just got carried away.
All in all, a good experience. Oh, got the truck fixed up, too.
(sometimes the low-maintenance ones can be as bad as the high-maintenance ones! Of course, it's a whole different flavor of 'bad' and I sure wouldn't want to trade.)
