I've had my MN carry permit for maybe 4-5 months now. But last weekend was the first time going somewhere in MN and being able to carry! Otherwise I've OCed quite a few times at Wal-Mart and a few other places in Onalska, WI.
Went to MoA Saturday. Carried CC for my first time. Carried the Ruger LCP in pocket holster in my front right pocket. Had to move the phone to my pocket with my keys, but it worked out fine. Pretty much forgot the gun was there, until I put my hands in my pocket and was holding onto it. Love the feeling of being able to actually hold onto my gun, with nobody around me knowing!
My fiance doesn't like me open carrying for the mere fact that people can see it and it draws attention. But she was fine with me carrying concealed this weekend. We drove from Wisconsin so the gun was in a case until we got to the mall. The mall was the first stop, else I would have put it in my pocket sooner. About an hour into the shopping she asked me if I even had it with me. I guess she didn't see me pull it out as soon as we parked and load it!
We stayed in a hotel Saturday night, then Sunday morning drove to Cabela's before coming home. Had the gun in my pocket from the time we left the hotel room until the time we left Cabela's (at which point I unloaded it and put it back into the case because the next stop was home).
Anyways, was a very nice weekend finally getting to carry a concealed weapon. Everything just felt right! So much less stressful than OCing like I have to here in WI. Now to do it again when I take a vacation to Orlando in February!:comeandgetsome:
