You'll get used to it. Congrats.

If a solid thorough twice over does not find a posting it is not in "Plain View" IMO, I look on the way up and scrutinize new businesses I visit, quick double check on those I am familiar with.

It will settle in time, relax be vigilant you will do and be fine.

By the way congrats and don't forget to patronize wally-world.

Congratulations. The nervousness and wierd feeling will pass as you get accustomed to carrying. Just don't get complacent about it. Be aware that you are armed and dress and act appropiately for what you carry. Most people will never know. My wife saw me take my gun off my belt slide one night and if I had been wearing it while we were out. She didn't know. If a wife can't tell, unless you flaunt it, no one else will either.

My wife asks me all the time "Are you armed?" and I carry Owb

Takes a little time but yes you will become more confident when carrying. Be safe and responsible.

I've been carrying since September.

It's normal. It passes.

First month you are nervous as hell. Third month you feel naked without it.

Welcome to the club.

Congrats on getting your permit. As others have said, it's normal to be nervous when you begin to carry. Soon you you be nervous when you don't carry.

Practice, stay current with the laws governing carry, and practice more.

Pretty much what ever one else has said. I carried for 6 months before my wife ever noticed. The 1st time she asked something like what do have that "thing'. One night the car started acting up when we were on I-75 somewhere between Chattanooga and Knoxville where the road is dark, the traffic is light and the exits are far apart. Then she said please tell me you are carrying that "thing". Now she understands.

After 1 year of carrying, we teach the secret hand shake.

As I get closer to my class I think more about things like this. I know I'll be nervous when I start carrying too:eek: I expect it to be just like everyone says though, just like with anything you'll get used to it. I will too

Congrats on your permit

[Wyldk2]

I was scared out of my mind first time was able to carry. After a first few times you get used to it. Now i feel like a piece of me is missing when i don't carry. I cc majority of the time simply because i don't have the time to deal with uninformed people. Have only oc'd out on the trails.

[Guest bo2121]

@spark. Good luck with your test if youve had any experice with safely using a gun it is a breeze. My second day went easier today carrying my gun. I dont know why but just kinda hit me that im not breaking any laws and quit worrying about it so much. Still look crazy standing infront of stores checking for sighns. Haha.
