I'm on my second permit, which was issued in 2009. I don't remember when I got the first one.
This is my current carry rig...only one day old...
Goes in a cargo pocket.
I carried a Charter Arms Bulldog first, then tried carrying a full sized 1911, but that didn't work. So I got a Sig Fastback Carry, but then downsized to the Sig Ultra Compact.
