I sent everything in late december and got it back the other day.
I wanted to make sure it got here before I bought a holster. Now it is decision time. Natron |

Funny I remember getting my CCW... I was so on edge when carrying for the first few times.. afraid I was printing, afraid I'd drop it, my shirt would come up, etc. Once I was at chuck-e-cheezes wth my daughter. I went to the bathroom, dropped my pants and sat down on the toilet and PING my magazine ejected and slid 3 stalls away. Made this HUGE metal sliding on concrete sound which echoed through the bathroom. Fortunately I was the only one in the bathroom at the time!! Pretty funny to see how fast I scrambled to get my pants up to get the magazine before some kid found it and said "HEY DAD LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!"
Now I just don't care, it's like carrying a pocket knife, but the sense of security sure is nice. Have already been in a few situations where I was glad to have it but fortunately did not need it. When my buddy first got his CCW, he went to look at new cars at a dealership, and he had a little .32 in a little holster, which I think was in his pocket. When he reached for his keys it slipped out of his pocket and bounced across the pavement right in front of the sales girl. He quickly turned his back to her standing between her and the gun and picked it up quick. She never noticed what happened. Most people aren't expecting to see a gun so it doesn't even cross their mind even when it's plainly printing, etc. But after a year my 7yr daughter finally noticed it under my shirt one time while I was trying to get my seatbelt on. We agreed that it is our secret (so I can protect her from bad guys) and she is not to tell anyone including her friends. So far she has kept her promise. She's funny.. she always makes us sit with me facing the door (something I taught her) when we go out to eat and she whispers to me occasionally "dad watch the door for bad guys". heh |

LOL that reminds me of time in a public bathroom when my elbow hit the TP roll on the ground and it rolled all the way to the front door  good thing no one was in that bathroom!
