/k/, what was your first day carrying like? Were you nervous?

>>34116013
I thought everyone could see I was carrying or that I was printing like crazy when neither was true.

>>34116013
Uneventful as I could have hoped for. Carry is a Chiappa Rhino, in a state where OC is 100% legal in 85% of places.

Then again fucks in cowboy boots, jeans and a revolver belt isn't uncommon where I'm at, so no one gave a shit about another one.

>>34116017
Did you ever feel like you were over dressing to avoid printing?

Does anyone else find it strange that open carry is legal for everyone in Texas, but concealed carry requires a license?

Wisconsin. I never carry, just is no need where I live. Now that time I went to Chicago... I may or may not been strapped.

>>34116156
Not really, but the next time I bought pants I went a size up just to be sure. Also I had no idea how important a good belt was, they are gold. With the right belt I can carry my 1911 no problem.

And here I was, worried about being profiled. Nothing happened. Now I'm searching for a good CCW for summer.

>>34116176
I could have sworn you needed a license to OC as well as CC.

lifetime carry permit in Indiana here.

besides 4 counties, the state is pretty awesome about carrying and no "free shootup zones"

i happen to live in the most liberal county though and get some worried/dirty looks at my EDC

>maybe i should get something smaller, but this fucking just feels like a handshake from a good old friend regardless of how big/heavy it is

i carry a glock 19 in my underwear by my dick so if it prints then it just looks like i got a big dick or a boner

>>34116017
Even if you print a little bit, you'll realise that no one is scrutinizing your person that hard. People just don't pay attention.

Open carry is typically legal as it accounts for hunters and the general handling of firearms for situations where it will leave your house. It is usually overlooked as it is the idea that anyone else is aware that someone is carrying and is aware of any possible "threat" that they pose.

>>34118121

state? if you're in IN there's no excuse for not having a LTC unless you have a record. it's literally one trip to your police department and 100$ for lifetime

I carried illegally for 3 years. I was never nervous or paranoid, just extremely careful. It was for if I absolutely needed to defend myself in a life or death situation. Got my ccw a few months ago when I moved to a gun friendly state. Nothing really changed, I'm just less worried about a felony for illegal carrying

>>34118180
wouldnt you rather die than go to jail and get raped to death by niggers?

WA state being one of the first based states. WA confirmed for more free and American than Texicans.

I felt great my first time carrying. I got my ccw before owning any gun and then I went to buy my first handgun, an LCP lol. Bad mistake but doesn't matter now.

Started with walther CCP at 5-o-clock IWB. Kept pulling my shirt down in the back, nervous habit. No one noticed.

I just bought a p30sk and appendix holster. The first day, man was it painful. Standing felt fine, but any kind of bending or sitting and that thing dug into my hip. Went to get a burger and it felt like I had a raging hard-on that no one noticed.

Adjusted the ride height the next day and it is much comfier. 6 foot, 150 pound skellington by the way. I can't imagine trying appendix with any kind of gut.

It's the same for Ohio. OC is totally legal without a license as long as the gun is visible, but to get a CHL you need to pay $67 cuckbucks and take an 8 hour 'safety class' that usually isn't cheap.

>>34120154
I had to pay $135 for my class. Was some fat Nra toting shill who carried a full sized 1911. Class was at his house. Was me and his fat brother in law. They made 3 pizzas half way through. When they found out I knew more than them about literally everything gun related they started getting into politics.

I then had to shoot his poorly maintained Ruger .22 revolver for 2 hours at the range with him breathing over me. I'm glad they changed thee law so you can renew without taking another class.

>>34116176
This is actually incorrect, they changed CHL (Concealed Handgun License) to just a HL because open carry passed, you still need a permit.

>>34116013
I wouldn't know. I live in MD. I'll probably never leave either, since all of the biology jobs are here.

>>34116013
I don't remember it being "like" anything. IIRC when I started carrying I was using a P3at and a wallet holster.

It was a shitty gun, with a good holster. I never had to use it.

These days I carry a different shitty gun differently.

Any idea how long I have to wait in Texas after I had a DWI in 2012? Last I heard it was 5 years, so I'm looking forward to getting my cert later on.

I've been carrying for 5+ years now and have had zero problems. I also moved the gun to my hip for better control and have a backup beretta tomcat on my off side.

There is no reciprocity in Illinois. I believe there's some untested very, very vague wording about honoring permits from "states with similar gun laws" i.e., not sconi
