First off I have a valid CCW and by choice I walk before daylight.
There is a thread below about walking daily, through the neighborhood, since retiring April 1st and belly band holsters that I started a few months back and since then I've tried two different brands and they are just not working......ie too wide, seams rub on my bare skin, gun slips too far down in the pouch and or is not readily accesable etc etc.
I've learned to somewhat tolerate the bouncing of the little Ruger LCP .380 in the front pocket of my shorts but to be honest (no flames fellas) I just don't have a lot faith in the round.
I tried walking with the Smith .38 special Airweight this morning and the weight and pocket bouncing are very pronounced / uncomfortable so for the last mile or so I took the Smith out of my pocket and palmed it and finished my walk.
I'm a pretty good size fella and palming the gun is not much of a task and only the barrel sticks out of my hand.
Again it's dark and I very rarely see any neighborhood traffic (other than the fella in his car delivering newspapers) that early so there is no one that would see it and get excited.
We have 'Open Carry' now.......am I legal discreetly hand palming the gun during my walks or does 'Open Carry to the law require the gun to be in a holster ?
