And if my application gets denied... then at least I will have a system for when I go camping.

I have a slim build... 5'9" and 135lbs. I have been wearing smaller, more form-fitting clothes for a few years (after I met my wife). If I started wearing baggier clothes all of the sudden, I think plenty of people would notice. In other words, I have a limited amount of options that pass the $64,000 question (If I were not trying to conceal a handgun, would I wear this outfit?). By the way, I will be concealing a Sig P239 with a Hogue grip. My first attempt is a Belly Band, which came in the mail today. I've been wearing it around the house, and so far I love it. I like all the different placement options that it offers, and it has been comfortable so far. I found out that any placement on my frontside is not going to work with the shirts I wear. There is a spot on my back that keeps the gun concealed even in a size small t-shirt and doesn't print unless I bend all the way over. I also like the extra pouches... I could fit about 5 extra mags in this thing if I wanted. I can jump up and down or do a handstand, and the gun doesn't budge. And lastly, I don't have to worry about it falling down when I pee. Draw time is not the best, but it's not that bad. I could easily see this becoming my everyday carry method if I get my permit.

You're too self concious ,you aren't looked at any differently when your packing a handgun,no one knows what you have tucked in your waistband or in your pocket and there isn't a neon sign on your bod announcing" He's Armed".
