yep - this is why i didnt want one with belt loops...i want the ability to slip it off without having to take my belt off, and for occasions where i wont be wearing a belt.. like, if i visit my girls house while shes still living at home, ill have to either take it off and leave it in my truck or make sure its very well concealed....her mom is very weird about guns...her dad has a pocket sized 22 he drops in his pocket to take with him to feed the animals at night, incase a coyote or something shows up...her mom hates that thing and freaks out if she even sees it...hell, she locked it up and hid it from him for awhile but he eventually found it lol
