blue02hd,

No offense taken.

I own a restaurant. It is seasonal and only open in the summer. It's right on the beach. I do bank runs every night and stock my own atm. Who is my threat? I really don't know. The town is a very affluent one, with essentially zero crime short of a few minor shoplifting incidents each year. For this reason, a lot of residents and business owners in the town have their guard down. To me, this makes the place seem like a ripe target.

My CCW is in the fanny pack only to and from work. During the work day, it's stored in a biometrics safe which is very handy at all times. There are other safeguards and security measures in place that don't need mentioning here. I do everything possible to avoid even getting in a situation where drawing a weapon would be necessary. This is my number one goal. I have lobbied successfully to have a dedicated Police officer on foot patrol in the village at all times during the busiest months. (Previously we had only 'meter maids'). I keep my guard up and keep a close eye on anyone who seems suspicious. This includes anyone not wearing shorts and a t shirt, or a bathing suit. Basically standard tourist gear.

In my experience thus far, no one has looked twice at the fanny pack. Most people in my town seem pretty clueless about it. It has worked well for me thus far. I'm always open to learning new techniques though. That's why I'm here. Sorry to hijack the thread. I carry the 229. I've tried several but really like the ergonomics of the Sig. Was just offering up the fanny pack idea as a possible alternative to downgrading to a smaller or different weapon.
