In sweatpants, same result as putting a heavy handgun in a pocket (see post No. 6 above). Also, anything that doesn't cover the trigger guard is asking for trouble.
I do have a small holster on a belt that will carry my .22mag revolver or PF9. It's just that some days I'm barely navigating, and the smallest effort of getting it on, straightened, cinched up, and then taking it back off again is a pain.
Yeah, some days I'm just a whine bag...
I keep a loaded handgun(s) within reach pretty much all the time, and it's easy to just grab one. That's why I asked.
I probably have enough stuff to rig another nylon shoulder holster for knocking around, and that might be easier to slip on/off for quick trips.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate everyone's input.
I gimp around a lot of the time, cane or walker. I am also in a wheelchair quite often. When I think I need a gun outside I carry a shotgun with full stock and pistol grip.
On the handgun, I have an old belt and cheap holster. I just loop the belt over my head and under my arm. It carries the holster in the same area of my should holsters, yet just takes a second to slip on and leave both hands free.
As to legality, I dont know, but I have spoken with law enforcement before, at night, when using the shotgun in one hand, nothing was said, but the folks I deal with in a small area know who cause problems.
I thought the law said any "legitimate purpose" showing your buddy across the street fits in that.
Indeed.
FWIW, I don't carry a round chambered in SA-only semi-autos.
Lol, come to think of it... a couple Hi-point C9s are the only strictly SA semi-autos on the premises.
This is definitely an option. Thanks Dave.
I too carry a paperweight with me to the mailbox
