So I'm doing a favor for my first sergeant last night. She bought a toolbox at Sears and she couldn't fit it in her car. So, since I have a truck, she asked me for help (and promised me a box of ammo for the favor). So we went to Sears, went inside, picked up the toolbox, and loaded it in my truck. I followed her back to her house. While I was following her, I got a phone call that one of my soldiers might have been in an accident and was heading for the ER on post. So we got to her place, unloaded the toolbox, and called back for confirmation. It was correct, I had to head to the ER and meet my soldier there. So there I am, being told to head post haste onto Fort Hood, with my 1911 in its usual place at 4 o'clock. 
So I asked the first sergeant if she could do me a favor, she says sure. I unsnap the belt loops on my holster and my mag pouch, pull them both out, and say, "Can you keep an eye on these for me?" Army posts have such a problem with the thought of their soldiers carrying guns, so going on post as is wasn't an option. So I left them on a table in her foyer and hauled butt to post. Later in the evening, she calls my platoon sergeant. I was told that the conversation was sprinkled with comments like "And he just pulls this gun out of nowhere, and it was loaded and he had an extra mag and everything!" My platoon sergeant was rolling on the floor laughing during this portion of the conversation, by the way. He pointed out that she knows I have a CHL. She said, "Yeah, but all of the sudden he just hands me a gun out of nowhere and I had no idea he was carrying!" I picked it up on my way back home from the hospital later that evening. BTW, my soldier was fine, he was released two hours later.
So that was the highlight of my evening. We got a big kick out of it at the office this morning. On another note, I highly recommend the Colt Gunsite CCO carried in a Milt Sparks Versa-Max II. Even those who know you carry won't notice you have it on.
