You can ankle carry or carry off body. As far as boredom, movies, gun mags, check some of the other gun boards, and spend some time dryfiring every day. I've done four stints of surgery recovery in the past decade, and yes, the time passes slowly. Dry firing and practice your weapon...

I've used the belly band, smart carry, ankle holsters, and shoulder holsters when belt holsters won't work. After using them all quite a bit, I no longer use belly band and almost never use a shoulder holster. For tucked in dress code, my best option is ankle carry (95% of the time now). If...

To those who advocate wearing body armor for civilian ccw, I would ask if you are following through in protecting yourselves in other areas of risk to that same degree? Do you buckle up every time? Do you exercise regularly, eat healthy foods, and maintain good cardiovascular health? Do...

OC is always a good option to have, and even more crucial for those who have no hand-to-hand skills.

Don't mention it. They won't care. You have nothing to gain by mentioning it.

Congrats on making the decision to go armed. Be advised, however, that it is unhandy and inconvenient, especially at first. If you stick with your decision, you will in the end make some adjustments to your wardrobe. I do not think you'll like shoulder carry for extended periods of time...
