Today, I exercised my rights to carry concealed for the first time. This was a big step in my mind. There are a lot of legal and safety ramifications of carrying a loaded firearm in public. I went to three places while carrying today and all of them went well and felt comfortable.
First we went to Gander Mountain so the Wife could pick up her new Ruger LCP 380. Gander was a mess, read more about it here. The whole time I was out and about, I was looking for signs prohibiting concealed carry. I did not see any at Gander, but they do have have a sign that says all firearms and bows need to be checked at the front desk. Reading further it states that this does not apply to people legally carrying open or concealed. That meant I was good to go.
I did have a bit of a snag getting out of the truck in the parking lot here, The magazine popped out of my FN. I had read about this being a problem with the ambidextrous magazine release and the crossbreed holster. I need to stop leaning so hard against the release button. The crossbreed was really comfortable walking around though. I can tell it is starting to break in nicely now.
