I recently got a new job.
My last employer had a policy against weapons on site. The company didn't really enforce it so my standard method of carry which is IWB (normally a CZ-75B SA) worked well enough. No one ever made me as far as I know and if they did they didn't say anything and to be honest I wouldn't have expected them to.
But my new employer is positively freaky. Just bringing a weapon (any weapon - even a pocket knife) on site makes one guilty of Work Place Violence. When during an interview with the HR weenie I mentioned (on purpose) that I was a competition shooter he said and I quote exactly - OH MY GOD! Don't bring it here!. I kid you not this guy totally freaked. Couldn't believe that firearms and especially handguns were my hobby. I calmed him down with a "huh? what the hell would I bring a gun to work for? only a whacked out right wing gun nut would do something like that", comment which got him started on his anti-gun speech.
Anyway - I carry at work. Screw 'em. No job is worth risking my life (no matter how remote the risk might be) for. And I don't have any problem finding a new employer and have enough money that if I didn't the world wouldn't come to an end and the sun would still rise tomorrow.
Still - there's no point in taking unnecessary risks just to make a point or doing anything that might jepordize my new position. For the first time in years (really - a lot of years) I'm actually having fun at work and am experiencing a challenge to perform that I never imagined I'd experience again. In short I really like this job and don't want to lose it over something stupid like getting made by a freakin' pussy sheep.
I'm currently carrying a S&W 638 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster. It does the job well enough (sheep are blind after all) but I'd really like a pocket holster that doesn't print quite like the Uncle Mike's does. Something leather, something that stays in the pocket on the draw, something that doesn't print and looks like a wallet or some other innocuous thing in my front pocket.
I've done the google thing and didn't find what I was looking for. Maybe a pocket isn't the way to go. Maybe a shoulder holster under my shirt or one of those deep concealment t-shirt with holster built in things? Though I'd really like to stick with a pocket holster - comfortable, quick access - well - you guys know...
Any suggestions?
