Not really. They make pocket holsters that protect the trigger and breaks up the outline so it isn’t so obvious. Only works on pants with properly sized pockets - Levi’s, not so much.
Maybe Skald is a baggy-pants kind of guy. I know my son carries an unbelievable amount of stuff in his pockets. Large items, like his cell phone, CDs, a note pad and pen, a lighter, cash, etc. My pants are way too tight to carry more than a little folding money and possibly a lighter, if I don’t plan on sitting for any length of time.
My purse situation is making me a little crazy. I haven’t found the perfect purse yet, so I carry a mini purse inside a big purse. The mini holds wallet-type stuff, plus has a little velcro pocket for smokes and lighter or a cellphone, but not both. I carry the mini when I’m doing the shopping rounds in town.
The big purse is more of a military bag, with two roomy pockets on the sides for glasses, cell phone, some make-up items, smokes, etc. The main cavernous area carries the little purse, paperwork that I pick up here and there, my camera, a water bottle, garbage that I accumulate throughout the day, and extra stuff if I’m doing a long day away from Kasa Kalhoun. I can even throw a shirt and umbrella in there if I think the weather might change.
The big purse was purchased for our trip to DC and functioned quite well during our outings. However, it’s an ugly beast. My husband wants to comandeer it for his own Man Purse needs, which I will gladly do once I find the perfect purse. I’m very particular about them and I can take years searching for one that meets my needs.
I don’t have anything in my pants pockets, and it’s too early for coats. I carry the bare essentials in a small wallet with a key ring attached, and it gets held in my hand until I can throw it on my desk at work or at home.
So you’re saying that you’re unarmed, then, and utterly defenseless if that sick bastard **Fabulous Creature **sends the ninjas after you?
That seems very foolish.

Sometimes I carry my (man’s) wallet in my right rear pocket.
You carry a gun in you front pocket? Doesn’t that get a bit… bulky? (Or are you just glad to see me?)

Nothing in back pockets.
BlackBerry on belt during the week.
In tight, nut-hugging jeans, it does. Otherwise, not really. The pocket holster keeps it in place and breaks up the outline. I wear a good belt, too, which keeps the weight of the gun from dragging my pants down.
That, and my huge package pre-conditioned everybody so that they don’t notice a large bulge in my pants.
I can just flash my driver’s license picture and stop them in their tracks.
Knives and lint.
Seriously, at the moment, nada. If I’m going to work, my keys and probably a USB thumbdrive or two. If I’m going to school, just my keys. If I’m going somewhere else, my keys, my wallet, and my phone.
After school ends again and I switch to using my purse again, it’ll be nothing all the time.

Right front pocket: wallet and keys
Right rear pocket: Empty
Left rear pocket: handkerchief and comb

*For values of “everything” approximately equal to a Swiss army knife, two screwdrivers, a pen, a pencil, a marker, and a small leather case containing a number of tools used for…well, enough said about that.
Front left pocket: string, or nothing. actually it’s nothing.
Front right pocket: cell phone; three quarters; one nickel
Back left pocket: more nothing
Back right pocket: wallet
Shirt pocket: nothing, but that’s usually where I have my cell phone (see “Front Right”)
I hate having things in my pockets, so usually only carry my mini-credit card clipped to my keychain and nothing else. In my purse, on the other hand, I currently have:
ID
Full-sized credit cards
Makeup
Deodorant
Vanilla scented body spray
A pair of surgical gloves
Fifty-three cents
Two one dollar bills
A bottle of water
An apple
True that. Unfortunately, though, September is hard on allergies so there is one thing in my pocket: a tissue. The contents of most of your pockets sound uncomfortable.
