ok well, it wasnt all that big of a deal...
i went to ye olde gun shoppe yesterday to pay the fees for my CCH class... while i was there i picked up a cheap nylon OC belt holster...
strapped it on in the parking lot and holstered up... now i didnt have any ammo with me, but thats ok i was mainly concerned with how comfortable it would be to drive with it on...
so on the way home, i needed some smokes, and stopped at the gas station... the guy at the station seemed kinda odd when i walked in, but he lightened up when i started talking to him...
as i was driving out, i noticed a marked police cruiser was parked on the other side of the station, so im guessing the cop was in the back room somewhere... i kinda smiled, and just drove home...
i learned several things...
first of all, my gun was very difficult to see while i was driving, the seatbelt covered it almost completely... i am concerned that if pulled over, the cop will say i was concealing
i also learned that i need to remove my holster before comming into my house... my wife kinda looked like :what: when she saw it and my 2 year old wanted to pull on the big black thing hanging from daddys belt...
other than that, it wasnt too bad of an experience

i learned several things...
- i need a tighter belt...
- i need a swivle holster
- keeping my hand off my gun wasnt as hard as i thought it would be
- i was 10 times more aware of my surroundings when i was carrying
- i was a much more cautious driver (see below question)
- i need a lighter gun, or a better holster
