Question of the Day: Is Printing an Issue? (Conceal/Carry)
bearingarms.com ^ | June 27, 2017 | Jenn Jacques

When you put your gun on in the morning and leave the house for the day, are you concerned about printing?

The above picture was shared with me on Twitter. Taken by a man in a checkout line behind a woman whose firearm is only being thinly veiled by her light pink t-shirt, she could obviously care less about printing.

It’s a topic of discussion I’ve had with several instructors and an issue I’ve had myself – should we be concerned with whether or not our gun “prints” through our clothing? Yes, but mostly because if you’re carrying concealed, the object is to actually conceal the firearm. Otherwise, you might as well open carry (and don’t get me started on that today).

Thumbs-up to Mrs. L - more women like her needed to mentor women like the one in the photo...fashion tips, if you will. I overheard a conversation between two women behind me in the cashier line at a Dollar General where one of them was carrying openly and the other woman was asking her a lot of questions. The female OC handled herself well.

This woman is a fool and would lose her license in Tx.

Concealed means concealed.

Of course now we have open carry but that is just a legislative point to preserve our rights.
Don’t go flashing yer cards.

Keeps the sun off, not to hot.

I get it, I get it, but its just like the Hawaiian shirt. You might as well be printing cause anyone can see its covering.

I dress like you. Long sleeve shirt with tail out to cover my paddle holster and Taurus PT111 Gen 2.

It took a while to get used to going around with an untucked shirt. Guess it’s because of my stint in the Corps.

I wear a polo shirt untucked with a Springfield Armory XDs .45 in a Fobus holster. If I print a little I don’t worry about it. I found that I cannot reliably pull from an inside the waistband holster and if I carry a gun I want to be able to get to it.

Choices are limited when its 108 deg.

I hate tiny pocket guns and I hate DA featherlights, but you should always have a knife and a gun ad $200 in your shoe LOL

It’s like showing your cards.
Why show your cards?

And it freaks out the locals.

When I lived in Az EVERYONE carried open, and you did not have to worry about punks because there were 50 other people openly armed as social deterrents to bad actors.

Here in Tx now that we have open carry, no one does, except in the woods.

LOL!

I do camo most of the time! (And yes, sometimes I get “looks”.)

However, for the most part, my observation is that most people aren’t paying attention to anything at all. They’re all just wandering around in their on little world. It’s usually just us gun guys that can spot a carrier.
