Hi,
Sorry for these really Newb questions, you've probably heard them before, I've been reading alot on this forum, but not really finding what I need. So I decided it was time to get a gun and I've done some trading and applied for my Concealed Carry Permit for Florida. I'm going to be getting one of these P3at's in the next month or so once the permit is approved.
My main question is, since I live in South Florida. Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale area. How do I carry this thing? My main dress is shorts and a Tshirt, maybe jeans as well other than business casual for work and I can't carry the gun at work so it will need to stay in the car. I suppose I can front pocket carry it and the grandfather oak holster looks nice but aren't those holders hard plastic? isn't that going to rub my leg all day and make it quite uncomfortable in 90 degree heat?
Backpocket in a holster looking like a wallet seems ideal but don't you look pretty stupid with 2 wallets back there? I suppose the wallet could go to the front if necessary.
And finally , I was able to pick up a 3at at the gunshow I was just at and clearly it takes a good pull on the trigger to get it to go off. Am I reasonable safe carrying it around in a holster? I'm the type of guy that works on my car, cracks apart the concrete wall around my house, spray paints said wall and forgets to take off the rolex while doing so. Is it almost impossible to get it to go off if its in some type of holster? someone mentioned something on the accessories forum about a branch sticking through your pocket and setting it off. maybe you have some special branches in other parts of the country but I don't see that happening here.
Anyway I know these are really basic questions and I appreciate any help or advise.
