Good first day. Welcome to the forum.

My wife knew the first time I carried after getting my license, but not the first time I carried in church after I got an IWB holster. It's cool when someone that knows you so well can't tell.

Congrats!
The PT709 is a very easy gun to carry and conceal......It's my EDC. (most of the time)

Congrats!!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. My wife no longer asks if I'm carrying when we are out. She just wonders which one and where I am carrying.

Calm, cool, and collected. That's the way you should be. That said it did take me a while to reach that point....

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

I got a 709 Slim about two months ago I really like this gun; had some issues breaking it in (mainly my fault for not cleaning the grease well enough) but has been flawless after that. I have a FoxX IWB hybrid holster and it's very comfortable to wear.

Not sure if worth mentioning this, or not - but it may be helpful to someone else. "... first time I carried in church....." where of course, you're not legally allowed to carry.

. . . you can LEGALLY carry in a church unless it is 30.06 posted.

You are correct. I came back to delete my post and apologize. I was taught in CHL that you CANNOT carry in a church - just did a little research after seeing a couple posts here on the topic and it turns out you can - provided there is no 30.06 posted. Apparently they edited the statute at the end. I'm a little surprised my instructor was so forceful about a law that doesn't exist.

No need to apologize. There is a lot of confusion about carrying in a church.

I don't know if the law changed so fast after I received my CHL back in the mid 90's or I just found this Forum and a great instructor (Crossfire - one of our moderators), but I have learned a lot just from reading the Forum.

By the way Welcome to the Forum.
