Re: First Time Carrying In Public
The mall was Stonebriar Mall in Frisco and I did not see any 30.06 signs. I had a G17 mag in my pocket just in case I needed another 16 rounds.

First Time Carrying In Public
Well not really my first but my second time carrying. My first time I didn't make it out of my driveway before my 7 year old daughter asked me why I had a gun in my pants. I responded by saying I didn't then ran inside and removed my G19 in a Raven Concealment IWB. Busted by a little kid before I even got started. 
Apparently, my shirt bunched up behind the pistol's grip leaving it exposed for all to see.
Today I decided to go the mall for first time carrying concealed. Same setup as my first attempt but this time wore the holster OWB with an untucked shirt and jacket covering the weapon. I checked for printing before leaving the house and everything looked good. I get to the mall and start walking around. About 30 minutes pass and I suddenly started to get nervous. Not sure why. I knew no one could tell I was carrying but I just felt anxious and "on guard" the whole time. Almost like when I have my kids out at crowded places. Always on the look out with my head on swivel.
I hope over time I get used to carrying a gun in public places but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this same uneasiness when they first started carrying.
