Just food for thought, when you can't carry anything else, these little bastards are still 22mag and fit in a jeans watch pocket.

Finally got a new holster for NAA .22 mag sidewinder. Old one (identical) is worn out, thin, and too flexible after many years of use.

And it's more readily available in case you're in a Waffle House.

It should be required to conceal carry in a Waffle House…lol. We went all the time when we lived in South Carolina. Never had an issue. But that was the early 2000's. My! How times have changed.

I carry every day. I have multiple firearms throughout the house ready to go in case something happens there too.

Someone didn't pay attention to the Rules.....

• The first rule of Waffle House is...You do not talk about Waffle House.
• The second rule of Waffle House is...You DO NOT TALK about Waffle House!
• Third rule of Waffle House is... If someone yells "Cop!", sees lights, or hears sirens, the night is over.
• Fourth Rule... Only two butter dollops to a waffle stack. Max!
• Fifth Rule... One waffle in your mouth at a time, fellas… We aren't trained in the Heimlich maneuver.
• Sixth Rule... No flavored waffles. No! Seriously, Go home to your Mom for that, and ALL weapons OUT on the tables.
• Seventh Rule: Nights will go on as long as we have batter.
• And the Eighth and Final Rule... If this is your first time at Waffle House, You have to fight.

Luckily...I've reached the point in my life that I don't feel the need to carry daily... and am able to when I choose to.

Years back I did not carry that often, just sometimes. Now days, I don't leave home without it unless I am going to the doctors, the courthouse etc. At home I used to keep a handgun in my computer desk. Now I keep a shotgun next to it. Sadly, times have changed, people have changed, going to the supermarket can be dangerous, answering your front door can be dangerous. Sad.

...
By luck and situational awareness, ultimately one wasn't needed.
...

Carry or don't as you like, but please be aware that luck is not a viable strategy.

What about carefully lowering your pants with it in your holster? Or should you actually take it out of the holster? I feel like it going down with the pants, still holstered, the trigger is guarded.

This is what I do. Depending on the belt, I will latch it so that I can provide tension with my knees to keep the belt taut and the gun at knee level. I don't ever let it drop to or near the floor. There's a whole thread on this subject here somewhere.

edit: I think this is the one:

First day of Conceal Carry in public

I purchased my holster (phlster enigma) the day my permit was approved and had been dialing it in while wearing it in the house with an unloaded pistol. Then I received my permit in the mail and Today was the day when I went grocery shopping, conceal carrying it for the first time. I called it...

I just refuse to poop when I'm out in public. Won't ever catch one of them venerable diseases off'n a toilet seat that way neither.

I bet their corporate motto is "You cannot ghetto that which is already ghettoed".

 

[duldej]

Yes, by the rationale that I "feel like it."

I used to live in California, where you needed to verbally rationalize your intention to carry. In Oregon, a shall-issue state, it's less stupid. They never ask you why you feel the need to carry, leaving that part up to you, and I embrace that. So far the "feel like it or not" litmus test has been sufficient and applicable to every situation.

Extreme case: jury duty. Don't feel like it bc I don't want to go to jail.

Walking the dog: feel like it, although might not feel like it,

and so on.

 

[Hawaiian]

When I don't carry the most it is because I forgot something. I am out somewhere and realize that I have an empty holster on my belt.
I am old, what's your excuse?

 

[Alaskajjd]

Still waiting to find the right set up that I'll actually carry daily. Thinking of trying a j frame next.
