It doesn't seem fair that mine even counts. I carry a Walther PP in a front pocket holster. You can't see it at all...in any circumstances: sitting, standing, crouching, reaching. I will admit to being a bit paranoid about printing, but after a while, compltely forgot about it.

if you carried a loaded weapon, I'd say it counts

Re: Does my Wally walk count?
Yep. Pretty uneventful wasn't it?
That's exactly how it should be! Good job! If you ate your Nachos or visited Mikey D's then you passed!
I tried SEVERAL different holster configurations and finally just customized the poo out of my FIST Kydex holster to make zero print even in a tucked in golf shirt and slacks. I was not satisfied with the bulk of the leather hybrids. Now it seems like the challenge is gone!
If you like your pocket holster and you're zero printing you're doing awesome. Really you can get away with quite a bit of printing and no one is going to take notice. Everyone has cell phones and other junk on their belts under their shirts. Your paranoia will fade pretty fast.

Ain't pocket carry great?
....especially in 100 degree weather.

Pocket carry in the summer is the best. No ordeal in dressing. Just slip into pocket as you head out the door, but remember pccket draws are slow but who says you cannot have hand in pocket if threatened without fear of brandishing.

Re: Does my Wally walk count?
I just wish my pockets were big enough to carry. But I'd need a NAA "belt buckle" sized .22LR to be able to fit in the pockets of 90% of the pants/jeans/shorts I own. One of the disadvantages of being a woman - they really gyp us on the pockets. Guys' pockets - yeah, they go almost to the knee. Ladies' - barely past the hip joint... my keys are always falling right in that fold of cloth when I'm sitting. Annoying as all get out. Oh well. There's always true cargo shorts/pants. I can change my style in order to afford the option for summer. Come fall, though, when I start wearing two layers of shirt - back on the hip. :-)

Re: Does my Wally walk count?
I have become a big fan of pocket carry. To my surprise, it has become my preferred method of carry for my Ruger SP-101.kjolly wrote:Pocket carry in the summer is the best. No ordeal in dressing.
