Ok, I've had my permit for a while, got a handgun of my own now, and FINALLY found a good holster for it, but some recent events have led me to some questions... Here are the events.
Got my holster and got it set up how I wanted it, and realized 2 things tight off the bat...
1. A Witness Match is a large gun for extended carrying (all day).
2. I need a real carry belt.
3. I'm not used to that much weight on my hip (and it was unloaded.)
The questions I have:
1. For those that carry, did you find it more comfortable in general to start off CC or OC in public? (I do have my eye on a specific gun that will be more carry-friendly for me, at least for now, until I get used to it.)
2. I have a 3 year old son, and he was completely fascinated by me wearing a gun around our apartment. That doesn't bother me, as it's a good way to start teaching him right. What I am concerned about is that for 2 days he talked and asked about it constantly ("where's you gun daddy", "what did you do with your gun", "you have a gun", "when me bigger I can have a gun"), and I don't really want to be in public with him calling attention to it all the time. If I OC and people notice, fine, but I don't call attention to it myself, and don't want undue attention.
Any of you ever had the same issue and how did you deal with it? I'm thinking of just wearing it around the apartment more and hoping eventually he'll just get bored with it and it won't be a big deal... But when he gets fixated on something, it takes him a long time to let it go...
