Musicians: Do You Carry at Your Gigs?

No, it would dent my guitar.

100% of my playing in public is at church.

Before I joined the praise team, I carried 100% of the time at church — either IWB or pocket carry in my slacks. The two problems I've found is now that I'm up on stage with everyone watching, I'm insecure with a bulgy pocket and the IWB isn't comfortable with my guitar, the sights can wear holes in my shirt from rubbing and eventually scratch my guitar.

I probably need to take the time and figure something out. Hopefully my preacher, my FIL or any of the other LTC holders in the congregation have my back and I don't have to use my guitar as a shield/weapon.

I do the sound board at our church, and I carry every time. Being in the spot where I can spot and engage a threat before it sees me is pretty sweet.

Don't worry about pocket carry. If your music is good, they won't be paying attention to your bulge anyway. If it's not good, they still won't pay attention. If you're going full-Elvis during the service, then you got other problems for Jesus to work on.

... Am I the only musician with a CCL on this forum?

I’m a musician. I carry. I’m by no means a professional.
