My letter came in yesterday that my CCDW liscense was at the sherrifs office, so I went and picked it up today.. Was nervous walking out of the house carrying concealed for the first time, but I soon discovered that NO ONE noticed.. I went to 2 gun stores, then to walmart, then went to Reno's Road House and Tractor Supply Store.. Went to Dad's Mortgage Company even.. No one knew I was carrying.. I know it isnt nachos at walmart, but the snack bar is no longer in our walmart..

Yeah... when I first got mine I thought EVERYONE was staring at me... But then you realize that no one really pays attention.

Congrats on your ccw

Congrats...most people are more concerned with themselves to be thinking about you.

this is an interesting thread.

i never even thought about if it might feel strange to carry a concealed weapon in public for the first time.

congrats on the permit.

i remember the time i first carried concealed...it is a nervous feeling until you realize no one cares.

Once I get my holster in I will start carrying mine concealed, so I am sure I will feel the same way at first!

Never could get the crossbreed to hide well, but this cheap galco I have seems to conceal so easy.. I have to wear it at 1 o'clock to hide it but it seemed to stab into me a little when seated, after a while, it didnt bother me and felt like a reminder it was there. I had it completly concealed with jeans and regular fitting tshirt..

All in all, I am proud to be one of the free men now that can carry..

Forgot to add that I carried the XD40SC with a pinky entension on the mag..

I never got nervous walking, just sitting down or if I'm going to take off my coat...
