I know that I print to some extent when I am working, and I often have people watch me work. I haven't had any questions or comments about it.
It can happen here.

In the days of everybody having cell phones and PDA's bulges are generally not an issue and in most cases the only people who will figure you out if any are fellow CHLer's but when it comes to guns we are not exactly in the normal person category. :biggrinjester:

HEY!!! WE are the normal ones! It was normal for men to carry a weapon for literally millennia until the last half of the 20th Century. According to Sigmund Freud, people who are afraid of guns are sexually immature. Normal adults are not sexually immature.

I appreciate everyone's input. Puts the hearsay to rest for me.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year.

Take care

I have a Harley belt watch that sits right over my holster, so it kinda camoflages any bulge. But if anyone asked, I'd just tell em the bulge is a medical device. That normally stops the line of questioning right there.

What I won't tell them is that it's a lead injector :lol:

I have a couple shirts that are bad about "clinging" to the grip of my side arm. When I wear these shirts, I just make sure pull the shirt off the grip every now and again. This is not intentionally failing to conceal, so I don't worry about it. I can assure you that the majority of the population has no clue that your carrying a weapon...cling or no cling. Most sheeple are simply not very aware of what or who is around them. If folks even notice a bulge, the last thing they think about is a gun. I bet most would think it was a cell phone.
