I guess I'm younger and preffer not to have my shirt tucked in, so that's not a bad deal for me.

Although I did have a funny moment a couple months back when a buddy of mine who is an assistant principal told me I should tuck my shirt in (I guess it's habit for 'em)... He know's I've got a license, but I'm not sure he realized why I didn't have my shirt tucked in or that I was carrying. We were in public so I couldn't really say anything at the time, but talking with his brother about it later we got a laugh out of it.

This is one part that concerns me. I try not to have a rigid schedule outside my work schedule. If I feel like going to the grocery or Walmart or visit a friend on a whim, I do so. How do you guys work 30.06 places into your schedule? Do you leave your handgun in your car?

What about printing? Can you get arrested for printing?

Also, have you ever dropped your gun in a restroom because you forgot it was there? Back in my active duty USAF days (before BDUs), when would tuck our fatigue shirts into our fatigue pants. We also tucked the bill of our hats behind us into the waist of our pants when we were indoors. Sure enough someone forgets their hat is there and drops their drawers to do a #2. Splash! Right into the toilet.
Mostly with 30.06 I just check entrances carefully before I go in.

If I know a location is prohibited I plan accordingly. Usually that means leaving my carry piece in the car. Although disarming while maintaining concealment can get interesting at times. My worst time was taking off my USP45 fullsize and it's IWB holster in my car in front of a busload of tourists... Had a similar time in a school parking lot. Basically I use a towel to hold the holster and cover the sidearm at the same time. So I may look funny, but I keep the thing concealed.

I've never had too much of a problem with a gun in the bathroom. But I've heard plenty of stories.

Well, I don't especially like giving all my info to the DPS and being in the database.

Carrying around a couple extra pounds of weight is a difference.

Have to be a little more aware when I go places to make sure I'm legal.

I tend to be more aware in general. Cause if something goes down I can do something about it.
