Hi,
I am wondering about the practicality of carrying concealed in cargo shorts. I live in a warm climate and shorts are comfortable 95% of the year. Did a search and couldn't find much discussion of cargo shorts (no fashion criticisms please )
The shorts I like have large pockets on the front/side of the pant leg. My full size S&W .40 M&P fits in this pocket perfectly, it's snug but no stretching required. I have long arms so I find I can draw quickly from the pocket.
Is it a safety hazard to keep the gun in a pocket like this, especially a DA trigger like this with no safety? All it would take is something snagging on this trigger for it to fire, and that concerns me a bit, but it is a 7 lb trigger, I think.
Just to be clear I haven't even taken a CHL class yet but am just planning ahead.
