I'm typing on an iPhone so this will be as short and to the point as possible.
The dilemma: I recently purchased a Ruger LCP .380 for pocket carry. I went this route so that I'm able to deeply conceal while at work and other places where I feel I need to conceal deeply. I also purchased a DeSantis "Pocket Shot" holster (POCKET SHOT, Pocket Holster, Pocket Holster Ruger LCP, DesantisHolster.com). Today as I was attending a meeting for work, I came to the realization that my LCP was muzzling the presenter when he would pace in front of me while giving his presentation... LCP was in the pocket shot, in my pocket, and the barrel was facing toward my knee. (Which would be pointing toward the floor if I was in the standing position).
I know that one of Jeff Cooper's 4 rules is that you should never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy. Now, my question is, am I overthinking things here? I realize that I was not aiming the gun at the presenter, but just my sitting position was inadvertently muzzling him as he strafed back and forth the room. It made me feel very uncomfortable.
I know that many people pocket carry and are comfortable doing so.. How do you go about it.
Maybe I'm just extra skittish because the "pocket shot" holster doesn't cover the trigger in any way..?
Side note: I do not carry anything else in my front pocket with the holster/gun combination.
Any ideas or opinions on this?
