Re: Printing - failure to conceal?

To add a twist, I think it could be argued successfully that a police officer who made you from your print wouldn't be considered a "reasonable person" under the law since they are specifically trained in the skill of "seeing" concealed weapons and are also trained to be constantly on the lookout for same. Though I'm no lawyer it certainly doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility.

Also, I'll parrot what has already been said, your average Joe Sixpack just isn't looking for your gun. Most people who are out and about have a litany of minutia on thier minds and just aren't concerned with your belt and its bulges. To give an example I think may be relevant I once wore a T-Shirt to work with a funny quip on the front for the express purpose of having my boss read it just to see her reaction. It was 1 inch white letters on a black tee and I sat in her office for 40 minutes while we had a 1 on 1 meeting about a project before she finally noticed that not only was I not wearing my normal attire but that the t-shirt I was wearing said something and read it. As an aside she did find it amusing, after she finally read it.

People just don't have very good perception skills as a general rule. Lighten up, though I'll admit it took me quite some time to come to this attitude from yours. I too was hyper sensitive about bulges and kydex belt clips that may or may not have been visible. The populace at large has proven my fears (and by extension, yours) unfounded.
