I started carrying a gun for self defense when I was a youngster in Alaska. I carried a 44 mag Blackhawk on my belt. Got used to it pretty quick. It's the norm there.

As far as concealed carry for two legged critters, if been doing so for about twenty five years. And I'm self conscious about it constantly because of my desire to appear like a nobody. To not attract attention to myself.

But I don't make the usual mistakes such as "checking" to make sure it's covered.

I hate carrying a gun and wish the world was a better place so I didn't have to. But in reality I carry because I believe in being prepared. In my mind, I will prevail.
