I don’t know what’s the point in trying so desparately to “hide” your gun? The CCL says “concealed” not invisible and I personally think it is an added benefit to only conceal it to the degree to meet the requirements of the law.
Don’t necessarily relish the thought of putting a 45 through some idiot, rather perfer he “know” I can and be deferred. Having been in a situation or two, I can attest that when some billybadass realizes it could cost him his life, they suddenly discover they have the wrong guy. If that doesn’t deter, that’s why the 45!
So they don't freak out at the bank or the grocery store?
Exactly. I have carried concealed for the last 20 years. I want those that need to know like cops, criminals and other carriers to know. In my few interactions with police over the years I have seen the officer pause a few seconds while they make the evaluation that I am not a threat. (BTW, not once have I been asked to produce my permit.) I have seen gang bangers look me over and determine that I am a threat. Once I was being followed by some youths on public transit while unarmed (not legal at the time.) I turned to face them and adjusted my phantom shoulder holster and they decided to take another direction.
