First day carrying concealed

[XDJYo]

not to thread jack but i have to know: what is your edc hotsauce?

Hahaha! That's code for pepper spray. The Holy Hot Sauce of Righteousness.

I can't take credit for it though. I copied John from Active Self Protection.

That shoulder wallet looks like a purse. I?ve just got this little lanyard with my permit and my drivers license and a debit card in it. It?s about the size of a credit card and goes around my neck on a little ball chain. Like the one you use for dog tags. I?m thinking about swapping that out for Paracord.

Well think what you want. My wallet is often in a backpack or The center console of my car. My wallet has a tendency to fall out of my pocket. That's why I only care a driver's license and a debit card. I carry a Twic card the same way. On a lanyard, under my shirt.

I won't criticize you bro. Everyone has to find a way that works for them.

So, more details are needed. I don't think you've said what you're carrying and in what holster etc etc etc! We are CalGUNS after all. Not CalWALLET.

Congratulations on the permit, BP, good that you can protect you and yours now.

Dont give a bad guy something to choke you to death with. (parachord)

A lot of plain clothes detectives have their ties cut and sewn with velcro break away for that reason.

Why not a money clip with the DL, ccw and cc? The weight of the clip will keep it in your pocket.

Lanyard that I?m wearing now has a breakaway attachment. That?s like the ones at work. They all have breakaway classes. I?m looking at the Wallet that has the AirTag card in it

I?m venturing out today for the first time carrying my firearm with my new CCW permit. I?m going to the movies and then to pick up a hamburger on the way home.

Wearing loose clothing, and my permit is around my neck in a holder. Wish me luck😎

Congratulations on getting your permit!

Anyone get CCW back pain?

Anyone get CCW back pain?

The only back pain I have is the ridiculous process I had to go through to get my permit.

Eventually you'll forget it's there, but then feel naked without it. While getting out of my truck at the gas station, I had my roscoe pop outta my holster, which I then drop-kicked across the cement and underneath my truck and into the median of the station. At least two or three guys saw me, but CCW isn't uncommon 'round these parts..

I had a permit for 20 years before the new police chief decided that he did not like guns. I am moving in a few months to San Bernardino so I have been waiting to get another one. I remember 25 years ago when I first got the permit no one had one and it did seem kind of strange to pack my Glock 19. I then switched to my Colt Mustang and it was easier to carry. I used to carry it in my pocket most of the time. The biggest hassle was taking it out and storing it when going to the post office or federal buildings. I usually put it in the trunk, but I hated taking it out and hoping no one would see me putting it away.

I know, I know, many here think that a .380 is inadequate, but it is better than your fists, especially when you are over 55. I never had to draw it or use it in those many years, and I hope when I get my new CCW to never have to use it. The worst thing that can happen is actually using it. Even if you are justified it will cost you at least $100,000 in legal fees if some DA decides to charge you. So the best thing to do is to walk away from dicey situations and not take a chance.
