Every place I go, on or off duty, I always have my Gilligan with me (my little buddy, Mr. Springfield XD 45 Bi Tone Tactical with my TLR2). I ride with it in a shoulder holster, little big, but I have to compensate for my little co&k… lol

The three most common places to be attacked are
1. Your home
2. Gas station
3. Parking lot
In none of those places are you looking for trouble. It finds you (like road hazards while riding a motorcycle) at unexpected and often inopportune times.
It is not about being macho for me. In fact, I hope to never take this out of its holser in self defense or in defense of another. But as I type at my suburban home in an upscale neighborhood, I have (as always) my Glock 33 (357 sig) at 4:00 IWB.
Earlier in my career I witnessed one of my employees killed during a robery. I hope never to be helpless again.
But to each his own

heres what i use I carry a full size 1911 :-) . Its a IWB that you can tuck in your shirt if you want to, it very comfortable. Ive done 500ish mile days wearing it with no problems at all .I wore it with a t-shirt tucked in at a air show with TONS of police and security and no one even looked twice, I would highly recommend it

He is licensed so obviously willing and DEPLOYED, more than obviously qualified and able..I don't think those were his issues.

Thanks for all the posts. I've been thinking about a concealment vest (http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Cowhid.../dp/B0028QKRRA) so I don't have to spend $$$ on another pistol, like the pocket ones that were suggested. I'd like to save the $$$ for more chrome goodies!! Don't think I'll carry at the rally, just want something on me for the trip there and back. Does anyone have any experiences with one of these types of vests? Thanks again.

If you're going to consistently carry a concealed handgun, I think it's a very bad habit to keep it in a variety of places, and in something you might not be wearing (like a jacket or vest). A carry weapon won't do you much good if it's difficult to get to.

Sometimes it will be a smart *** asking if it makes me feel like a big man. For such people I'll generally tell them it's like having two co&ks....one that can kill people.
