Today, I did something for the very first time. I cc'd all day long every place I went. Picked up a rental car, stopped at a local big box sporting goods store for some advice, then headed to Martinsville. There I met another INGOer for an exchange of money order for goods.

Then I figured I wasn't too far from Camby so I drove up there, hit the Dunkin Donuts store for some GREAT coffee and some donuts to bring home. On the way back, I stopped at a convenience store on Rt 67 for some gum. Back in the Bloomington area, I filled the rental up with gas and dropped it off at Budget Auto.

Now, I know for a lot of the people here, this would be a "Ho-hum, no big deal" event. But it was my first time and I feel pretty good about it. We'll see what happens in future trips out of the house.

Yay me!

It gets mundane real fast. I'm no longer even aware of my pistol being there. I'm acutely aware if its not there, though...

Once you get in the habit, you'll forget your car keys more often than your gun.

 

[BuckeyeBrad]

Glad you had a positive experience. I have got to ask though. You drove up to Camby and did not stop in Bradis?

Once you do it enough you will feel very strange not carrying. I had to wear a tux recently and went nearly the whole day not carrying and hated it. I am also one of the people that carry two guns at all times not to mention a third one in which ever vehicle I am driving that day.

Camby and Bradis

Being it was a Sunday, I didn't think they were open. I could've gotten a couple more ammo boxes. Oh well, my bad!

I need more guns...

As long as we're talking about the mundane, yesterday i had to try some pants on in a fitting room at michigan city. It did feel weird to put my holstered gun on the bench while i tried clothes on.

It was cool though, like others have said, sometimes i do forget that i have it (in a good way)

I recently wore a suit all day at a funeral, carried my gun the whole time. If I can figure out a way to carry I will.
You are correct, its very strange NOT carrying a gun after you do it so long.

Its really weird when you go to the DR and he want you to take your shirt off while your carrying... "UM sure Doc but i have a gun on".
I was really surprised when he said " cool whatch'a carry?"

In a few months you'll feel absolutely naked without it.

I take mine off and leave it in the car when at the chiropractor, but only because I have to empty my pockets when he pops my back. Not a chance in hell I'm going to put my gun in a little basket while I'm laying on a table a few feet away, especially since the adjustment tables are all out in the open.

Very true. It bothers me if i cant reach down and feel it on me.

That's a normal feeling, the older you get.
