Try open carry. It's legal in VA, and having done it a bit, people don't even notice your gun UN-CONCEALED, buch less under a cover garment.

Welcome to the world of CCW! Everyone feels like this for about the first 6 months to a year. You get used to it, and then you start to forget that your carrying a gun. Well maybe not to that extent, but it at least stops being a worry.I bought a hawaiian shirt that's 1 size big, I *think* it hides it unless I'm bending down or something, but when I go in public I'm so self conscious, I feel like everyone can see it!
I openly carried a Colt Python in the Dartmouth College book store(liberals, hippies, militant lesbians, liberal hippy militant lesbian college professors, wall to wall) and no one even noticed as far as I could tell. If they did notice, they didn't care enough to do anything that I noticed. I bought a book, and sat and read it with a cup of coffee for half an hour.You may want to read some of the stories posted here from the guys who carry openly. Oftentimes folks don't notice the gun THEN!
mr.trooper said:i saved up and got a KelTec P32 with a Fobus paddle holster. The entire rig cost me $250. It has proven reliable, and its so small and light that i often forget i have it on.
Hitching your pants. Must be a 45.
That's worth repeating.Another thing. That 2% includes cops and bad guys.
That is not correct. In fact I'd advise against immediately informing a cop that you're a CHL holder and carrying UNLESS he asks you for ID.In TX, any time a law enforcement officer interacts with you, you must inform them that you're carrying and that you're a CHL holder.
