i carry a s&w .38+p in my front right pants pocket of many diferent styles of pants and shorts, never have a problem. they have great inside pocket holsters, i have a desentis. if that doesnt work and you want to tuck in your shirt you could try a belly band. wraps around your belly and you tuck your shirt over it. simply pull your shirt out and you have access to you gun. might be a bit uncomfortable in warm weather though.

Buzz Kill, you are living up to your handle. Thanks for waking me up about the dangers we think we may not face. I live in Oregon (not Portland) and just yesterday I was thinking "do I really need to carry, nothing is going to happen around here". I'm never leaving home w/out my Snub or 1911.
Kudos to Dwight55-great idea that I've never heard of...
However; like JustKev55 and others, my employment would be terminated if I carried or even had a weapon in my auto. Now I am really in a pickle. I may just risk it and keep a piece in my car.

If anyone thinks there is no danger out there, just watch some of those prison documentaries and how the gangs operate. Just imagine one of those tatted up, muderous, beasts loose in your home or meeting you on the street. Then there are the hopped up crack addicts to contend with. Makes me want to barricade my house and carry several guns!

I am shocked at how many men won't put up with a little discomfort in order to protect themselves and family.

A friend was employed by a Police Force, as a Det. Sgt. He used to say he was not part of the real Police (he was boss of a protection detail for a man who was a politician) and never attended a Police Station.
Things changed for him when a female moved in with the boss, a Wife! So now two female Officers were added to the team, Bill (real name, now retired) asked me to drop in and talk to these two Ladies, he was not happy with the way they were carrying the issued pistol.
Pistol, P7 9mm H&K, and one spare Magazine, mode of carry, both of them, a shoulder hung purse. They both used the Subway a lot, my question, "What form do you fill out, when a thief cuts your strap, and heads out on his sneakers, with Gun and badge?" "You following in your heels?"
My advice then and now, you have to dress armed! Pistol must be on person. Whole new wardrobe change, worth it, a great job.
That was not the US of A.
Florida, retired, me! Light weight cargo pants, always, Florida shirts, hang outside the pants, Glock 19, spare G17 mag; flashlight, all the time, 24/7.
Want to look smart, Guyabara shirts, expensive, look good.
You don't like shirts that hang out? Don't ever get attacked by 5 men! Oh it can not happen to you? oh yes it can, it did, and my wee house did not cost $174K. I give good advice (ask my Grand Son) "Dress Armed" good advice.

Awful Story
This was just an awful story. Maybe worst of all - what the heck were murderous thugs doing out and about at 5:30 am?
I am in CT. We have had a recent spate of home invasions, the worst of which was widely publicized 2 years ago when the BG raped and strangled the wife and 2daughters, then burnt the house down. That was less than 20 minutes from my house. Since then there have been 3 actual home invasions in my "safe" upscale town. One perp actually admitted going there because "that's where the rich white folks are at." It's not about color, obviously; it's targeted because of resident's relatively high income, valuable possessions, and the perp's total disregard for the rule of law or the value of life.
I've been CCW for about 2 years now. Notice the coincidence? i try to carry everywhere, all the time, even working around the house. My wife remains in denial and thinks i'm paranoid. I hope it never happens, but if it does, i'll be strapped and as ready as i can be.

I haven't actually seen targets like this yet, but think it might help train for a SD situation. Instead of the traditional body silhouette, have printed CIVIL LAWSUIT, and you have to shoot in the dots for the i's.
I have a Glock 29 + extra mag in an IWB holster at ALL given times when I am OUTSIDE of the house. Inside the house, the possibilities are endless. When I am naked in the bathroom, anything from a Kel Tec P-11 to a Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull could be sitting in the drawer next to the sink. When I am sleeping there is a pistol approximately 2 feet away from my shoulder, some sort of long gun within 2 steps and 2 sets of level III body armor + a level V trauma plate hanging on my closet door which I think is about 2 steps away as well. 
There is no such thing as a "routine walk outside." Every place on this Earth can present a deadly threat at any given time, even IN YOUR OWN HOME. BE ALERT.
GET A HIGH QUALITY SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLED IN YOUR HOME. GET A NICE, BIG DOG; HELL, GET 2 NICE, BIG DOGS. INSTALL MOTION DETECTING LIGHTS ALL AROUND YOUR HOUSE. POST SIGNS EVERYWHERE THAT SAY "NO TRESPASSING" "BEWARE OF DOG(S)." TAPE UP YOUR BEST TARGETS FROM YOUR LAST RANGE TRIP ON ALL THE DOORS ON YOUR HOME.
