How do you feel when you CC?

like others when i first started carrying i felt like i was printing all the time and people were gonna see it and freak out:eek:. been carrying for a few years now and realize most people arent paying that much attention even if i do print or they just think its a phone or something.
 
People rarely notice me open carrying, I'm not going worry about if my gun prints or not because its not illegal. I probably just carry what I carry now, in the same holster. Just pull my shirt over. A bump on my side? so what. :p

You really can't tell, unless my arm hugs my body, then you notice the gap of air from one side of arm.
 
I previously posted that I am very comfortable with carrying ( 3 months now) .But if open carry passes in Oklahoma I will be even more comfortable and when funds free up might even get a bigger gun or revolver with a little longer barrel.
 
I'm also a bit nervous when I CC. just started recently. Does a gun belt make a big difference? Also wondering when buying a gun belt should you buy a size bigger due to the extra width that the gun and holster adds?
 
A teeny tiny bit,,,

...heavier on my right side.

Seriously though,,,
This is a valid topic.

Way back when dinosaurs ruled the earth and I first started carrying,,,
I must admit to having a bit of an imaginary swagger to my step,,,
Now that it's been 40 years that feeling has finally gone away.

At this stage in my life it's simply a feeling of normalcy for me,,,
And a small increase of situational awareness when I'm not.

GlenEMeyer: The only time it bothered me was the only time I wore a fanny pack.

Once and never again. Now it bothers me when I can't carry. I have a wardrobe that accommodates carry and a selection of carry guns for different dress circumstances.

I have not found any other way to carry a S&W 625-5 45 Long Colt other than with a fanny pack. And the gun is so heavy I am much more comfortable carrying two other calbibre of guns. I always feel that my
galco paddle holster might bulge. My S&W 642-1 in a pocket holster, I am certain does not bulge nor print. To this day, I still hate going to Walmart
where someone might notice the bulge. I am more comfortable carrying there with a fanny pack than in my paddle holster at stores like Walmart :)
 
I feel much safer when i CC . If you feel like people can see the pistol outline, then consider a holster or Fanny Pack where the pistol is stored in a rear accessible compartment. I love the Fanny Pack for CC. Very handy .
 
I feel a little more on guard and responsible....but actaully when I read the post I realized that I had forgot I was carrying today. As long as it's concealled okay it gets kind of ho-hum.
 
Since my first and only gun so far is a small 380, I pocket carry it in my right front pocket and don't worry about anyone noticing. I've only had it since Jan 9th and started CC the first day I got it and at first it felt weird but it also felt nice. Honestly I had waited so long and wanted to carry so bad that it was pretty exciting. I feel safer when I carry and also feel like I have a lot more responsibility not only to myself but to others as well. Even though it's only been a few months, I now feel weird when not carrying honestly. If you are worried about printing or people seeing or noticing then get a small pocket pistol like mine or an LCP or something.

I feel more 'on guard' when I'm packing; like I have a duty as a resposible, armed citizen to protect all of the slackers from a madman on a shooting rampage.

But, I don't carry when I am not up to that honestly. And, if I'm not up to that, I don't go anywhere I feel might be dangerous.
 
Depends on the situation.

While carrying it to the shooting range I feel happy.....this is going to be fun.

When I carry it into the house placing it into the night stand I feel a bit more secure that I have a weapon in case somebody tried to break into our home with ill intent.

If my car's fuel needle lands me at a gas station in an unsavory part of town I hope that will never have to be used.
