Most people don't carry for the reason Bill G mentioned:
why dont i desire to? too much of a hassle putting it on and having to worry about covering up.....also uncomfortable.
Exactly! It's too much of a hassle!
The main problem is that people are trying to carry too much gun. It's the weight and bulk that discourages people. The bulkier the gun the harder it is to conceal. The heavier gun is also less comfortable to carry, so people just don't develop the habit.
Carrying a gun should be like putting on pants or a dress. You should feel undressed without it. And, if you get the right gun (minimum bulk and light weight) you won't mind carrying.
My gun weighs 14 oz (unloaded) and I carry it on my ankle. I've chosen Blazer ammo that has high quality alum. casings. It's very lightweight. When I walk I can hardly feel that I an packing. I also carry four speed loaders in two nylon belt pouches which gives me 25 rounds at my disposal.
I hate tucking my shirt in, so no one notices the ammo I'm packing and it's not much difference that packing a Leatherman tool.
My system is easy to carry and my gun straps on when I put on my shoes, so it's also convenient and lightweight.
When I go to the school. I remove the gun and leave it locked in my 4X.
Other than that, basically, I pack everywhere. When I go to workout, my gun is tucked in my gym bag and locked in my locker. After I shower, and dress, my gun resumes it's place on my ankle.
Carrying is easy, if you work at it.
