Be comfortable

Yes, you heard that right, be comfortable.

While the first few times you carry you're going to think you stick out like a sore thumb, if you do it right, you won't, but you'll feel like you've got a big bullseye on your back and that every cop is going to come looking for you.

First off, you are within your rights to carry, so you've nothing to fear, so easy there pilgrim.

Second, you can avoid printing if you just check yourself in the mirror and practice.
Wear your gear around the house. Get used to the weight and the feel. Make normal everyday motions, there's no need to see if the Yoga poses you do will make your weapon print on you, simply because you won't be doing the "Wounded Yoda" pose while in Dairy Queen.

Spend a day that you plan to be at home with your side arm attached to you. Either loaded or unloaded, I don't care. Just get used to the feeling.

Make a small trip to a store, heck, go to your local gun shop or range while carrying. You'd be in good company there, so you shouldn't need to worry about someone's reaction if you happen to print. Get comfortable with going out in the world with it on.

Be comfortable with it, remember, you're in the right by carrying it when you have your CCW, so no one can take it away from you or arrest you so long as you don't do something galactically stupid.

Enjoy it, remember, this is taking advantage of the rights granted to you.
