OK! I convinced my wife to let me come.... :lol: So long as I leave her at IKEA in Canton for the duration.

I may be a bit late, as Church, IKEA, and the Beanery are all spread out a ways, but I'll be there!

I don't think I'll have my holster in the mail yet (Serpa!), so I won't be carrying. But I'll be there.

Ziggy, not that it's important or anything because obviously carrying isn't the point of the meetings, but I could hook you up with a spare holster for the event if you'd like. At this point I've got 3 holsters and one handgun. I don't know what kind of gun you have, but if it's a full size-ish revolver or semi auto, I have one that would work.

I carry a Glock 17. Heck, I don't even have a gun belt! Just a sturdy leather one.

(If you can't tell, I'm a rather new owner... I've used guns since I was young, just never carried before)

That would for sure fit in at least 2 holsters I have. Unless you're really scared about someone going for a grab (a billion to one odds that would happen in the coffee shop) and you want to wait for your retention holster, I've got ya covered. Up to you obviously, just do whatever you want. It's not a terrible idea to skip it this time if you aren't comfortable with the idea, nothing wrong with taking things slowly and carefully in regards to firearms. Plus it's not like security will be an issue. ;)

A strudy leather belt of any kind will work great usually. I use a tool belt most days so I can carry my gun. 6 bucks, fits inside my belt loops just perfectly, and damn sturdy!
