Now I don't have huge love handles, and don't know how it feels when a gun is poking them...
About like being stabbed with a screwdriver. When I carry IWB the pistol is pretty much just pressed into the flab, which hides it rather well under a shirt. I carry at 3:00 because if the pistol is any further to the front, sitting down is impossible without excruciating pain, and carrying any further to the rear pulls my belt down because while I have the same ass I did at 19, the rest of me has gotten considerably larger so it doesn't offer any support.
Yeah I can’t do appendix type carry. Hard to sit, drive a car, etc. I’ve tried it a couple of times and it only works when I’m literally just walking around (say like shopping for groceries). Otherwise, no.
might be a good idea to let member of your churches security team (if it exits) know you carry.
...and a thousand reasons not to.There is no reason to do this.

Presumably so you don't get plugged by church security who may equate a gun as a threatwhy?!
Concealed is concealed. I see no good reason to advertise it to anyone unless I'm pulled over by a cop who knows I'm a LTC holder since he can run my plates.Presumably so you don't get plugged by church security who may equate a gun as a threat
I'm not saying they are going to gun people down for printing, thats not what i am talking about.Concealed is concealed. I see no good reason to advertise it to anyone unless I'm pulled over by a cop who knows I'm a LTC holder since he can run my plates.
If their church security starts gunning down people for printing, they got a bunch of psychos guarding that church.
That could happen in any "active shooter" situation quite honestly. Right?I'm not saying they are going to gun people down for printing, thats not what i am talking about.
If an active shooter happens, and guns come out, I'd be ok with the security team knowing I'm not the bad guy.
Because lets be real, lots of church security teams aren't well organized or trained. I don't want the guy off to the side to dome me because i stopped a threat, because all he could see is me shooting.
Every church “I know of” is posted with a 30.07.
Gheyer than a three-pronged Fork!
Sure, but I'd be willing to bet churches have armed security far more often than HEB or Kroger or Walmart.That could happen in any "active shooter" situation quite honestly. Right?
In the middle of Walmart, H-E-B, Mall, etc. You pull your gun out on a threat, and put them down, you ALWAYS run the risk of someone else drawing on you and misidentifying who you are, and whether you're actually a threat, especially in Texas where literally more than a couple of people around you are packing a gun at any given time. The armed security at most retail places is not any more well trained than Church security. But do you go to the front desk of a place with armed security and make sure they know you're armed? I wouldn't.

Why take the chance? It's not like you *have* to join the security team or vastly alter your life to let some dudes know not to shoot you.
Not a bad reason per se, but I don’t think that’s also a reason to blanket disclose. Every situation is unique.…Because lets be real, lots of church security teams aren't well organized or trained.
