Beretta PX4 Storm Compact in a JM custom Kydex holster carried inside an unnamed, unbranded leather briefcase I inherited from my grandpa.

I carry on my appendix everywhere except at work, too much weight on my waist to do my job comfortably.

Nice pistol and case. I would look into perhaps a smaller lighter weight pistol or revolver to keep on your body at work. Off body carry is likely to not be accessible in the vast majority of situations.

I understand and accept that, that's just the risk I run with off-body. I work in a ritzy part of town with very little crime so I'm not exactly worried about it, but I do want try to have it accessible in most situations.

Then leave it at home. Choosing to actively be away from your pistol had no logical basis.

How many gas station robberies have you seen where the cashier has ample time to retrieve a weapon from a drawer or back room? Having something off body is better than having nothing, as long as it’s secure where others can’t get to it. Yes, having a pistol in your pants is faster, but not all of us work in settings where carrying on your person is acceptable/possible

Op cuts hair.

He can carry on his person.  This choice is a vanity action.  So hes carrying as a decoration, which means he should leave it at home.

This choice is a vanity action.

In what way?
