Questions:
1. Strong side vs weak side. I'm blessed to be nearly ambidextrous in most skills except writing. I am right-eyed so I tend to primary carry right-handed. I'm leaning toward carrying my BUG left-handed to add to my options. Any thoughts on this?

Weakside, as I like having a gun accessable to either hand.

2. Jacket pocket vs pants pocket. For work and social occasions I'm mostly dressed with either a suit jacket or sports coat. When wearing a jacket, I'm inclined to have the BUG in my jacket pocket rather than my pants pocket. Any thoughts on this?

Unless it really cold and I'm wearing a long heavy coat I prefer the BUG in my pant's pocket. I don't find a sports coat to be of substantial materia,l enough to support a gun. There is a lot to be said to having the gun in your pant's pocket with your hand on the gun.

3. Wearing an Overcoat. During the really cold weather in Ohio I wear an overcoat. Second BUG for overcoat or transfer when removing overcoat? Although transfering risks exposure, I'm reluctant to leave one in the overcoat while I'm not wearing it. I don't like either solution. Any thoughts on this?
I "discreetly" transfer the gun from coat to pant's pocket with no trouble. Of course I have credentials that go further than a CCW Permit. I don't believe in leaving a gun unattended unless it's in my safe, so leaving it in the overcoat is not an option for me.

I gave you some other things to think about in my previous post. Good luck and I hope I was of some help to you.
