OT: Those that carry...

I am sure that more than a few on here have carry permits or live where open carry is "allowed". I have carried about as long as it has Florida has had carry permits. It is so second nature to me that I have ventured many times into areas where the weapon was not allowed. I have two ways I carry, a belt clip so the weapon is inside the waistband of my pants, and when on the bike, I have it in a carry bag on my belt.
Closest I've coming to being busted for my oversights was a time I was in a county building where a courthouse is located with it in the bag. I was with a friend and just standing around waiting for him to complete his business. A security guard asked about the bulge under my shirt. My first thought, oh damn, but I was cool on the outside and just lifted my shirt and showed him the bag and explained that I was with a friend on our bikes and I keep items that would normally be in my pockets in the bag so they don't fall out while I'm riding. He bought it and said OK. As soon as he turned away, I went outside to wait for my friend.
Anyone else come close to having a bad experience? BTW, only once have I had my weapon in my hand ready to use. Didn't have to, thank God.
Got something to say?
