>>315151Level 2 retention holster on my waist, or in my pack. IWB's pretty uncomfortable with the rest of my riding gear (not to mention the sweat factor), and i'm not too worried about concealing when i'm out there. I'll usually throw on a windbreaker if i'm riding through town.
Stopped for dinner on my way home one evening a year or two ago, pizza joint I frequent... guys there all know me... took my jacket off, "oh .. yeah... right, well, we'll see how this goes".... One soccer mom gave me evil-eye, only other comment was from the manager "you carry, huh? probably a good idea out there."
Personally i'd rather not have the attention, so i usually cc.
Evidently camelbak makes a pack that's got a spot for a pistol that you can easily access with the pack on, but I haven't had the chance to fingerfuck one locally.
Sidearm's more for 2-leggers, OC spray for bears. Rather not have to use either.
