CHL holders, what do you do?
I just saw a selfie of Pistol Marks wielding an exotic looking weapon (not a metaphor or euphemism, an actual handgun). Which brought to mind a question I've wanted to ask for some time. This is
not a political post in any way, looking for practical answers.
Guys, if you regularly, legally carry a concealed weapon (refrain yourselves), what do you do with it during a session? Do you carry it in and potentially freak out the provider you're seeing or leave it in the car? I've had appointments in some sketchy areas and would hate to think a weapon could get stolen. Do you ask/warn the provider if you choose not to leave it in the car and how does that work out for you? With the large percentage of Texans with CHL permits, there must be hundreds on this site at least. I ask a serious question but boys will be boys so go ahead, take your best shot!
Ladies, please feel free to weigh in here as well...sure many of you have protection (here we go!) in your bags or purses!

Just two thoughts on this . . .
1. Concealed means concealed. Keep it out of sight. No one should know you have it, if they do, you have screwed up.
2. Ladies (and gents) keep in mind one little tidbit . . . as a percentage, someone without a CHL is SIX TIMES more likely to be arrested for a violent felony than someone who does not have a CHL. They are also 3 times less likely than a sworn peace officer. Which would you rather have show up at your establishment?
Statistics are on the CHL section of the DPS website. I feel sorry sometimes for the ignorant commercial establishments that display the 30.06 sign, it keeps me out, but do you think the average gang banger/criminal who is already illegally carrying cares one_simple_goddam about the freaking sign?
