..Which also illustrates the necessity of actually having one on you. My line of work is putting me into contact with some pretty disreputable types, who usually aren't happy with me after our dealings are done....
So that makes it all the more important to be armed discreetly, when the law allows. Sometimes ankle carry is about all I can do.
I am noting a trend (not that it's new, it just seems to be on the increase) of people having zero respect for anything resembling authority, esepcially the criminal justice system. This week we've had three people arrested for disorderly conduct and contempt of court, with a sprinkling of assault by threat thrown in for good measure.
It sort of hammers home that I could be a target of retaliation outside of my job. A sobering thought, to say the least. I'm sure the LEO's on this site have grown used to such a thought.
The cargo shorts thing isn't a bad idea, but I'd think a bit uncomfortable.

I remember Jerry Usher, once, remarked; 'Most rounds fly low in a gunfight.' He didn't like the idea of stooping to draw when things suddenly got serious. In my experience ankle rigs tend to work best for people who are sitting down. (or who have to sit down inside something like an automobile for extended periods of time.)
