Got home from mowing an elderly widow woman's yard & as usual shucked my cover as soon as I got out of the truck. It was really dirty so it went in the dirty work clothes basket in the garage. While unloading a pickup truck drove slowly up the street, very evident that he was looking for something. I watched as I unloaded. When He got to my drive he stopped. No cover available so i thought, huuum, this will be a good test of awareness. I am wearing a white t-shirt & the Simply Rugged holster I am breaking in. Color is Oxblood against the white t-shirt & bluejeans. The rig is pictured below bullets in the loops just as I was wearing it.
I confess I did not turn strong side to him & raise my arm but made no attemp to full blade away from him. He greeted as he approached & asked if I was the owner. Stopped at social distance. Yes sir.
Well, I am, & introed himself. I paint houses & would like to paint yours. (yes it needs it).
The gun butt was not apparent since I was wearing at about 3:30. The holster & bullet contrast were very evident.
We talked for a minute or two & I thanked him but no thanks. He was more intent on the house than who was around him & what they had on them.
It really does not matter if what is on someones mind is a job or going to the car in a parking lot or pushing a buggy down the isles of a store. Intent on my little world & dont have a clue what is going on around me gets an F on the awareness test.
LESSON:
You that are so worried about printing realize that no one is really paying attention to you. Put it on, cover it up, & leave it alone. No one will know you are armed.
