Let me put it this way: If it were any other very personal question asked by a complete stranger in public, would you feel obliged to answer or make something up?

My guess is you wouldn't.

Perhaps, you'd shake your head in disgust while saying nothing and keep walking.

But since you're (legally) carrying a concealed handgun, some of you feel you've no choice but to provide a reply, i.e., lie. Well, you don't have to fabricate an answer as you owe no answer.

Me, if ever asked a personal question by a stranger, I'm not going to provide some bogus answer to a question that should never be asked.

Am I being picky?

Nope, I'm just not made nervous because I'm legally carrying a pistol in an OWB holster that might create a bit of a bulge.

A few weeks ago, I was working at home and had a 1911 in an outside the waist holster. Looking in the mirror, it dawned on me that my shirt covered it just fine and there is no reason for me to carry IWB. I feel so liberated (and silly for not seeing the obvious for so long).

I found the same thing, but it didn't take me that long.
