I carry in my pocket a XD-S in a holster, (Galco pocket protector)I wear jeans exclusively since I quit my shirt and tie style job in 2003, so I don't have a lot of variation in pocket shape, size, or placement. I am late to the party in using the pocket as a place for my CC, but it sure seems natural now. I did carry my LC-9 there for awhile during the great XD-S recall. I also experimented with carrying two different J-Frames (.22 Mag and a .38) during that time and I have come to appreciate holsters. Safer and positive position placement for the gun allows you easier access, hides the shape.
I have a friend in California who did not carry in the mid 1980's. He was leaving work, I think for lunch and he saw a car apparently stranded with the hood up, he stopped to offer a hand and was shot three times and left for dead, pickup stolen. The bad guy just shot, no asking nothing as I recall, they caught the guy and my friend survived, he got his pickup back, but he got a permit immediately after getting out of the hospital and carried a .38 for years afterwards, several years back he switched to a KelTec AT3. He liked the KelTec in his pocket better and said it went bang every time. Whenever the idea of someone serious about Concealed Carry comes up, I think of him.
