I live and work in CT where concealed carry seems to be less of a hassle to get a permit for than some of the MA related posts I see. Nevertheless I was pretty nervous about taking my handgun out of the house concealed after reading all of the legal troubles I could be in for if someone found out I was carrying and called the police. I have always previously only taken it from the house to the range locked in the trunk.
But I have always wanted to carry. So last week I bought a DeSantis Cozy Partner IWB and started wearing it around the house to get used to it and break it in. Yesterday I needed to run an errand to the gas station and grocery store and really didn't feel like taking it off, so I just went out with it on. I checked several times over the past week to be sure I wasn't printing and this particular gun/holster (Sig P226) conceals well @ 5 o'clock with just a sweatshirt.
Anyway I did feel self conscious initially, more to be sure no one was staring at me. But after a while I got used to it.. It was pretty cool to do, even though I never really "forgot" it was there.
