It was habit that I still have to this day.

Air Force guys sew their pockets shut due to self control issues? Jesus... I thought the Hooah Airborne tough guy shit at Bragg was silly.
I carry my keys in my right back pocket, my wallet in my left back pocket, my cell phone in the left front, and my MacGyver kit in the right front with a folding knife. Idea is to keep the crucial gizmos for the nondominate (non-gun) hand. I can answer the phone and get cash while keeping my dominate hand ready to snatch the snubbie.
Even though I'm a righty, the wallet is on the back left so that I can present ID without drawing attention to any piece I may be carrying at the time. I learned that one the hard way. Turns out going for your wallet scares people when you're all Johnny OpenCarry.
