i will be taking my chl class this saturday. i have been looking at different carry methods and have decided that iwb is the way to go. also considered crossdraw, but there seems to be more of a chance of my shirt lifting up and showing my gun...maybe when i get comfortable with it ill change my mind. i have ordered a supertuck and plan on carrying my extramag clipped to my belt on my left side. my question is this; has anyone ever had a situation where thier extra mag showed? most people might not even think twice about it if they see it, most people might not even know what it is....but if it does happen is it something to worry about? i havent read any laws that mention this, but there are some crazy people out there that will overreact over the littlest things..
thanks for any help with this
George.

First things first - Welcome to the forum!
Being new to CHL, of course you are concerned with proper concealment.
If you have to wear a tucked in shirt, simply "blouse" the shirt out a little bit in order
to cover the extra mag holder.
If you wear a concealment garment such as a T-shirt or button shirt with tails worn out,
your extra mag holder will be fully concealed. No one will see it.
After you carry for a while you will realize that the whole world is busy with their own
problems, and they are not a worldwide police force that is going to "make" the fact
that you are carrying.
Once you get your original carry gun squared away then you can start worrying about which
BUG to carry and where to hide IT!!

Re: a few questions
you will have plenty of time to test different options at home while waiting for the CHL application process to complete

Re: a few questions
no need to worry about the spare mag too much, while keeping it hidden is best there is no requirement too. You could have it taped to you hat if you want to! if you can conceal the gun, the mag won't be a problem. Most sheeples would probably just think it's a cell phone anyway if they saw the spare mag if you shirt blew up or something.
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.

On your first wally walk you'll think everybody in the place is looking at you, but that feeling fades with time. You'll realize that NOBODY is paying attention.
