I used to CC daily when I worked moving money from place to place. And when I worked in repo. Your Glock will be good if you like it.
I can certainly appreciate your feelings of firearms around your children. Believe me, Mrs. Rookie and I had several good long talks about that. It's certainly a balancing act with them around. But I'll say this. You cannot hide it from your children. You cannot really hide anything from children for very long. In the case of your gun, they will find it. They'll at least know where it is. That's something you're going to have to deal with one way or another. Keep in mind age and maturity and a slew of other variables which I honestly can't think of now.
After carrying for long enough, I learned where not to skimp. Don't cheap out on a holster. If it doesn't work for you, get another one. If it's not comfortable when worn correctly, you're either not going to wear it correctly or not wear it at all. Your regular belt isn't going to cut it either. Pistol belts cost that much for a reason and you'll want one soon. The other place I see too many people saving money is at the range. Get good and stay good. Shooting is a skill that will definitely atrophy if you let it. So you should definitely be a regular at your local ranges.
You mentioned about safety earlier. So you know the rules. Finger off the trigger until you're ready to pull it, all guns are loaded all the time even if you've just unloaded it, be sure of your target as well as what's behind, and don't point it at anything you don't want aerated. Seems simple enough, but this rules are written in blood.
There's 2 other rules that frequently get left out by should be included more. First, safely stored. On you is best. If you'll have to leave it in a vehicle, really know your area. I wouldn't around my hometown (Baltimore, Maryland, lots of theft) but others live in more civilized places and don't have the same concerns. In a safe is the second best place for it. The second is carrying while enjoying tasty adult beverages. Not because of any worries about aggression or anything like that. But I have seen people drinking lose the cigar in their hand or the glasses on their face. Alcohol can breed a certain carelessness that doesn't jive well with a firearm.
As far as tales, I'm sorry. I've concealed carried for a little over 20 years and never drew it outside of the range. All my fun or funny tales come from the range or hunting or the military. And if I can live out the rest of my days like with that streak, I'll be happy.
