    Anyone here carry a concealed firearm?

    I'm just curious if anyone here carries? In a holster, a lcp in your pocket doesn't count.

    At my dealer, we wear mainly the general attire for the business(minus the tie), and trying to find a comfortable holster that can be worn with a tucked in shirt is hard. Although, with winter upon us I could carry a mares leg and no one would notice.

    Also, Just want to know who of us a into guns, and on top of that, carry.

    My general carry is an HK VP40 IWB at 4 oclock position. I wear a vest for cover. Don't have any problems.

        I used to work on coin-op machines, to include having to collect the coin boxes. The machines were mostly located in Thrifty and other drug and discount stores. Some were not located in very crime free neighborhoods.

          Not real worried about our customers it is the general public that worries me. In the last month we have had 2 police officers, responding to calls, get shot while in their cars.

            I'm not concerned about customers at all lol. Here in Wyoming, open carry is fully legal, no permit needed, and I see people almost every time I go to Walmart with their pistol openly on their hip. I could probably open carry a dirty Harry and no one would say anything. My problem, I work in poorer areas sometimes, and have roughly 10 grand in parts in my car.

                Its amazing what a King brown, Funnel web or Taipan does to people when it occupies their personal space. I've seen quite a few people try to walk on water in an attempt to get away.

                Instead of a pistol on your belt, maybe a little bottle on your belt with a funnel web spider inside. Undo the lid of the bottle an throw the spider at your attacker, I'm betting odds on favourite your potential mugger is so preoccupied with their new eight legged friend that they won't be worried about trying to mug you any further.

                What's that on your hip? That's my new Aracno-eight-bolter...

                    My little Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard rides around with me. No open carry in my state, but you can get a license to conceal carry or carry it in your vehicle (no license necessary). Nothing particularly dangerous in my day-to-day job (with a couple of exceptions), but you can never be too careful.

                        Wish it was,but crime is very minimal and mostly non violent. Just don't feel the need to arm our selves against a barely conceived threat. We're just too laid back here.

                        My Mrs has a MX6 too, wish it was a turbo.

                            I don't carry at work but I wish I could.
                            Taurus PT111 G2, but with the tucked-in shirt and being based primarily in a hospital (read: target rich environment for anyone off their meds, pissed off and armed) I can't figure a way to effectively carry concealed, and if I did I would technically be in violation of statute.
                            ORC something.something else. Their definition of "weapons free" and mine are vastly different.
                            I could conceivably commit civil disobedience and carry in the hospital, but I would risk my career by doing so. And with the shirt tucked in I can't fathom a carry method that would work with that pistol. Ankle holster maybe, but I'm not sure that pistol is a good fit for an ankle holster.
