You will know when you get in the groove when you get to the Walmart parking lot, and instinctively touch your gun location and it's not there.
The feeling of being naked will overcome you.
Now that's a walk on the wild side!

First day I ended up going to the store to pick some stuff up. When I pulled up someone had a dead vehicle and I helped them get it going. I always try to help people out but know I run the risk of having an issue, had less worry once I was licensed. I still CMA but it has made it where I am less apprehensive when I do stop to help someone. Oddly enough when I was on the road and got to a state that I could not legally carry I also chose not to stop and help. Wasn't worth the extra risk. Thankfully I never have to go back there again.
It's a dangerous situation in some cases to help a roadside vehicle situation. We had a member on here in the past who's brother in Florida was a victim of a woman luring men into a wooded area along a highway and then murdering them.
She was a serial killer.
I've picked up one person, but it was close to zero degrees outside with a high wind and the guy walking the road wasn't dressed for it. He had run his car into the ditch on a side road.
There were two of us in the vehicle besides him with both of us armed, and it didn't turn out to be an issue.
It's scary out there. You don't know who is just looking for a ride and who has ill intentions.
Well, as the title says, this was my first day to carry. Didn't do much (in fact I think I cheated a bit, drove my wife to work, went to bass pro, came home, went and picked her up, picked up Texas De Brazil for SB dinner and came home) but still felt like everyone was staring at me. I know that will pass. Now to find the right rig and spare mag holder (hate having anything in my pockets so I was super aware of my spare mag).
I used to never carry a knife until I started doing field work for Cox. Now if I leave the house without my knife clipped to my pocket I feel naked. I surmise carrying a firearm will become the same thing. And yes, I've spotted those that are trying to conceal and failing. And those that are open carrying and doing everything to bring attention to it. Trust me, I will not be the latter. The only hard part for me will be that I usually tuck my t-shirts in and will not either have to wear a cover shirt or learn to leave my shirts untucked lol.
