Concealed carry methods

[kbstock]

I'm new to carrying concealed...experimenting with different types.
I like the smartcarry but not sure it would be comfortable all day...
I'm afraid to carry in my purse for fear I'll leave it behind (I dont normally carry a purse)... The fanny pack is an okay option.
What do you other gals use?

Also, what do you do if you have your weapon with you and decide to stop by a restaruant and meet some friends for a cup of coffee and the restaraunt serves alcohol? (concealed carry not allowed in such a place here in Va....but open carry is okay.....I guess I could walk in and set my glock on the table and tell the waitperson I would like an ice tea.....) Lock it in the trunk? What if somebody sees me taking my fanny pack and sticking it in there? Looks like a great reason to break into my car.

Thanks for your input.

Inside the waistband carry works well for me, along with the Smart CArry. SC is comfortable pretty much all day, btw.

I carry either a 1911, or Taurus 605 wheelgun. THe 605 is only in the SC, while the 1911 is in either a Sparks VM-II or the SC.

As for going into non-carry zones, I avoid them like the plague! Have only been in a couple (hospitals that were posted properly, and a gradeschool rented by our church) since moving to TX a couple years ago.

Once our church completes its building, I will carry in church (not off limits unless posted).

IF you opt for IWB carry, you MUST buy a quality carry belt. It'll be wide & inflexible and hot & heavy, but it'll make lugging a loaded pistol around a LOT easier.
