Purchasing a Tagua OWB RH holster soon for everyday carry. Being given a shoulder holster that I plan on using CC when I drive Limo. What is the etiquette on going OC with this holster??

There's no real etiquette. Some people oppose OCing with a horizontal shoulder because your muzzle is pointing at anyone that is behind you. Most people don't want to be standing behind someone with a gun pointed at them. For that reason a lot of folks OC using a vertical shoulder holster. Be cognizant of that and make your decision. Hope this helps.

Tried a verticle holster I am to broad to reach my weapon when I use it. Soooo glad it was free. The Tagua is very comfortable definitely going to use this for OC. Trying to figure out how to CC when I drive Limo. Dress pants tend to fall down with to much stuff on the belt IF they have a belt. Any ideas??

Are suspenders an option for your dress code?

If you're going to OC with a shoulder holster us a vertical one not a horizontal. I know pro gun and pro carry people who are against horizontal shoulder holsters because the gun is being pointed at other people.
