Re: First Time Carrying In Public

The more you carry the more comfortable you will be. But be careful of getting so comfortable that you become complacent.
About 5 years ago, I was in a McCormick & Schmidt’s in Houston, I was there by myself on business, and was carrying my Sig 239 in a JIT holster. I had a jacket on and as I was getting up to use the restroom I took of my jacket because I was getting warm. Not thinking about it I walked across the restaurant even asked the location of the restroom from one of the wait staff. I did not realize my piece was open for all to see until I got the urinal and thought, Oh Crap, what now. After completing my original mission, I thought it best to just walk back to my table just as I had left. I felt that it would look more suspicious if I un-tucked my dress shirt and did not want to draw additional attention to my self.
I usually carry this way but have an un-tucked shirt covering it. Since I was there on business I had on a nice shirt and a jacket.
Just food for thought.
