Pb_shutr - sounds like a great experience!

when you read the penal code, it does say "courtrooms, churches, etc" and if you stop there, then do not carry. but on the next page (someone can im sure quote the PC) it then states that for certain places (including churches, that they need to have the 30.06 sign or verbally state anything close to "you can not carry here"

You beat me to it TAM LOL

Same here, thankfully with the people and advice on this forum, it has helped tremendously for my confidence in carrying, especially getting past the "Im hiding something that I should not have" feeling of carrying a loaded weapon.

I assume the church was in Texas. If so, unless it is marked with the 30.06 signage, you are LEGAL to carry in there. Now should you choose not to, that is up to you, but do not feel that you must leave it behind.

Yep, I can already feel part 1 of that, much like that first time I had a "real" ID that said I was 21 and ordered my first (legal) beer.

Thanks again TAM (and all) for your ever wealth of knowledge, wisdom and insight!

I found their Big and Tall section last week, and I LIKE IT!
Got some shorts with a bit of extra room, for concealment, picked up some 3XL shirts, plenty long enough for my 2XL normal and covers nicely.

By the way, they have a sale on now, which is why I am replying, "Buy 1 and get 1 of equal or lesser value at $0.88"
I picked up 6 shorts, 6 polos and 3 Ts to help with my 'growing' body LOL

Thanks for all of the replies, much as I had expected, its just a time thing.

But most of all, I have to give it up for TAM , he is so blunt, pointed and much the same demeanor that I carry in my life, I like your response the best!

I (hopefully today) will receive my plastic. I received my MiniTuck on Friday and wore it all weekend (around the house with the pistol) and out of the house without.
Every so often, I caught myself checking to be sure the weapon was concealed.

Other than just "time" are there any tricks to not being fidgitty about concealment?
When I had a long T-shirt, I was not checking so often, but when I tucked a golf shirt, then moved in various situations, sitting, standing, walking, bending, reaching, etc and repeating these, because of how the tuck works, any bit of pull of the fabric worries me that it will become untucked and show.

Hints, tips, tricks or just don't worry, its concealed?


Thanks!
