I have a pocket holster for a small .32 that has a thick leather flap that's supposed to prevent printing. You can't tell it's a gun, but it looks like I've got a small novel in my pocket (which itself is a giveaway).

Curiosity overwhelms. What does “printing” mean in this context?
The outline of the gun is visible through the clothing.

Wear mine in the small of my back....
or I tuck a sock in my pants to draw attention away from the pistol..../s
My mother asked me why I carried, whom was I afraid of, and I answered, "No one".
She understood and never asked again and I've been carrying ever since.
That's much easier than shooting all witnesses.
(I know - we're not suppposed to joke like that.....)
Here’s a question for you, I had to turn down an invitation for a social gathering because I was taking my CC class. The inviter wanted to know what was so important that I refused her invitation. My first mistake, I told her what I was doing. Now every time we are together, if someone new is in the group, she tells them I ‘pack heat’. I’ve asked her not to, but she seems incapable of stopping. I’ve also found out she tells people even if I’m not in the group, but weapons come up. Short of moving, how can I get her to stop telling every one she meets?
Carry openly and the embarrassment is not a problem. It tells the world you are a strict constitutionalist and prepared to defend your rights.
Herein lay the “trump card” of off-the-body carry.
No one ever really knows if you’re packing, or just “ different.”
Any comments about my “man bag” only
remind me “What do I care what you think? I’m the one with the gun.”
Tell her you quit carrying because she wouldn’t keep her mouth shut.
So you hide who you are? An American that exercises your Constitutional rights? From your family?
I have kept multiple weapons and carried same for about 35 years. All my family knows I have weapons in the house and that I carry. Only safe way to do it........ If someone is uncomfortable with this that is their issue to deal with not mine.
"Hey, look, you're really scaring me with your aggressive behavior, get away from me right now..."
I don’t get this response. I feel safer knowing those around me are packing. That way I don’t have to get all the bad guys myself.
I would go the other direction and ask her to call me Dirty Harry or Jack Bauer.
Step #1: Don’t lose your cool.
Step #1a: Double tap the mofo.
I tried that. The only way I could attach the holster was to take my pants off first. Once I got my pants back on I couldn't get my shoulder and arm to bend far enough back to reach the gun..........
Thanks, that is actually a great idea.
Just tell them:
“I am responsible for my family’s safety. Cops write about crime, they don’t prevent it.”
“If more folks carried, there’d be less crime.”
“I’m licensed and trained, so I’m not worried about being a victim.”
Because I know that you enjoy these threads...PING!
