I'm in the courthouse right now getting my CWP. I'm bored and waiting for them to fingerprint me. I will carry a Glock 26 once my license arrives. Anyone else packin heat?
I will be getting my license soon, not sure what I'm going to carry yet.

You could open carry it on a sling on your back couldn't you? No one would ever **** with you then. Didn't you see the weatherman with nick cage? (pretty good movie actually)

Im pretty sure if i had a 12 gauge strapped across my back i wouldnt be allowed in any store. I bet you someone would "****" with me. The police would probably come and ask all sorts of questions. I could upgrade to a .40 but i believe the 9mm with HP's will stop any threat. Ive shot a .40 and didnt like the recoil. Carry the biggest caliber than you can handle right? 1 shot with a .22 is better than 5 missed shots with the .45 right?
A .22 has only one use for human targets, close range suppressed terminations, very popular with clandestine folks.
G26/27 is a good choice for small-framed people. Sounds like you've done your research in shooting 9 vs 40. Nine is fine. Atlanta PD had more than a few one-shot stops using the Federal 9BPLE load (115gr +P+, sucker is moving) and that's an older design. Modern JHPs (Ranger T, Gold Dots, HST and the like) will work just fine.
My 38-2 isn't rated for +P, so I shoot regular pressure out of it...but I still occasionally shoot a couple +P's to remind myself, and carry +P in it. It's not a range toy, so as long as I'm not shooting +P often enough to stretch the frame, I'm not concerned.
I carry a ppks and a p3at as my bug. I am very comfortable with .380 and know that shot placement with it will put down most people. I will be looking into a walther pps .40 for my next purchase.
How do you like the P99? How does it conceal? I am at a toss up between the P99 and the PPS for my next pistol. I know I can hide the PPS on myself, the P99 I am not so sure about.
