Hello all,
Living in the wonderful state of Illinois for most of my life (except for a stint in WI prior to their carry laws) I have not been allowed to carry at all. Now that the new laws have finally gone into effect, well, in a few days, my focus has been to how and what to carry when I am so able to. Yes, I am aware of how long ago the court rulings happened and the law was actually passed, but I am currently a student and much of my effort has been put into that aspect.
That said, I understand I will not be able to carry on school grounds which explains the lack of haste I have. I figure by the time I'm approved and receive a license, it will be spring/summertime, limiting my carry options.
Because of this, and perhaps an irrational fear about printing, I'm thinking that pocket carry may be the best option for me at the current time.
I'm looking for what you all use for pocket carry and where that threshold lies in size for effective pocket carry. I would like to have a 9mm, but I wouldn't be against .38 Special or .380 ACP. I understand the limitations of pocket carry, but I would much rather have anything with me than nothing at all.
Some additional info; I would carry while at work and out running errands/whatnot. Work involves sitting at a desk for 95% of my shift, and running errands would involve driving (re: more sitting).
Thanks in advance!
