I got my permit last week and today was essentially my first opportunity to carry. Usually when I'm not to/from work it is to/from church or my sons school.
I was carrying a SW40F in a paddle holster at the 4:30 position covered by a long polo shirt and a jacket. I have found this particular shirt to be absolutely perfect for concealment. I went to two different grocery stores and a convenience store. I was nervous for all of 3 minutes until it wore off. I went with a son and a daughter and neither if them realized I was carrying. So I guess I would call that a success. I also scanned every entry door for a no gun zone sign but thankfully nothing posted. I am visiting in PA with a VA license.
