Only one of them had a Hawaiian shirt! The other one kept his strong arm close to his body to diminish the small bulge, but in doing so, he caused his shirt to press against the butt of his gun. Nobody else noticed!

I do that sometimes, but my elbow rests on the butt of my gun so hopefully it has the opposite effect.

I bet you wanted to smack him!

Kinda yeah, but the Friendly Neighborhood LEO (FNLEO) in question is our next-door neighbor, and I'd gone to him seeking advice on which pistol to get in the first place, so it's not like me having a gun was some startling revelation to him (though maybe me having it on me was, I dunno... I didn't ask). Anyway, after we got in the car, The Roommate (TR) asked if he'd goofed by telling FNLEO that I had a CHL. I told TR that I didn't mind FNLEO knowing since he could look it up anyway, but in general it's supposed to stay a secret. And, technically speaking, TR didn't say that I had a CHL; he just asked FNLEO if I was printing.

I was a bit nervous around some Carrollton cops once. I was having lunch with a couple friends, and the cops were positioned so that I'd have to walk past them on my right. I carry IWB 3:00ish, so my gun would've been right in front of the one cop's face if he'd turned to watch us leave.

I figure that if the cop who knows that I have my gun on me still doesn't see it after a casual looking-over, I'm as concealed as I need to be. And yes, my roommate knows not to tell people about my CHL now.
