I have a few questions and feel it is best for women to answer seeing as I am a woman
First, what do you typically wear when you carry? I want to wear dresses and skirts as it is getting to high 80's and 90's already where I live in Las Vegas. However my current holster needs a belt which need belt loops and that doesn't work for dresses or skirts.
Second, does anyone have experience carrying while pregnant? I am currently 4 months along and have a bump already so it won't be long before I am huge. However I still want to carry, even with as little as I go out (stay at home mom with own business) and even less without my husband who always carries.
Third, I have two young kids with a third on the way. I want to use a sling or some other body carrier for the infant when he arrives that way I don't have to lug around the carrier car seat and my hands are free for my other two. However it seems like most body carriers would interfere with OC on my hip. Has anyone gone through this and what did you do?
I am planning in getting my conceal carry permit(ccw) which would solve pretty much all three things I am concerned over, however I don't feel up to an 8 hour class while pregnant. I can barely remember what day it is let alone wake up in the morning to work! So I am sticking to OC, I go out once or twice a week for errands and shopping, and that is with the husband but like today I went out alone. Two weeks ago I went out just me and the kids. Which happens maybe every few months. I am a major home body , obviously, but still want to exercise my rights!
Thank you
