Just stayed here in Valpo. But, I've been pretty much all over. Wal-Mart, Wal-Greens, Dollar General, Apple-Bees, Kohl's, KMart (no wonder I'm broke all the damned time :-))
I don't mean to flame anyone, but it would be easier to read your post if brushed up on punctuation and capitolizing the the first letter of the first word in your sentences.
I just wanted to add my 2 cents about the "occasional carry". I feel if you're going to carry, always carry. I think it should be as much a part of your wardrobe as shoes and socks are.
You shouldn't carry a gun just when it's convenient.
I'm sorry, but this was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. That holster didn't get like that overnight. So that means, each and every morning this guy strapped on this gun, and saw what poor condition the holster was in. He had to have seen the holster coming in contact with the trigger...
Nice gun. I've had a gp100 for a couple of years now. Mine has the 4 inch barrel though. The only complaint I have, and it's such a minor thing that it's really not a complaint, is the pin that holds in the rear site will slide out to the left after pushing about 20 or so rounds of 357 down...
Oh, let's see.. Ok, here goes. All in Valpo:
Kohl's
Rue 21
The movie theater
Wal-Mart
The Shoe Department
Famous Shoes
Panera Bread
CVS
and a couple of other stores that I can't remember.
I unfortunately must go into Chicago (downtown). Five days a week for work. And, I work nights. I just keep mine in the glove compartment. Since I park in a secure, underground parking garage, it works out pretty nice since it's less than a block to walk from work to the garage.
