Now what do you find yourself doing different?

Post by Thomas Hagemeier »

Plastic in my wallet and gun at my side in public, I notice now I am looking around to see if I can tell if anybody else has a concealed handgun. Yes you aren't suppose to be able to tell,if it's concealed properly, but I still wonder how many others are licensed and carrying.

I've stoped trying to spot them. Occasionally you see someone doing a poor job of concealing, but even then most people seem oblivious to it.

Well, I'm looking out of curiosity more than anything. I think the average observer wouldn't notice unless there was an obvious large imprint in the shirt or whatever.

Plus 1 for that. I pay attention to how people are acting. If I see scootchiness, then I look for signs of a gun.

The only thing I'm doing much differently now that my license arrived is carrying outside my car and home.

I guess I'm different. I have never looked for other people carrying. I look for suspicious behavior but not evidence of carrying.

Yes, it is inner-city Caucabonics. "That guy is scootchy" = "Sumpin' ain't right about that boy." It can be used to describe a situation, person, place, thing, or behavior. "That Obama is the scootchiest president we've ever had." Or.....in the CHL world, "it's 110° today, and there's something scootchy about that dude with a hooded sweatshirt on."

Scootchiness can only be detected by one who has "Spidey Sense."

"Caucabonics"

I'm howling with laughter.

My new word for the day.

I'm going into the living room and bomb her with that word.

She'll either laugh or throw something at me!
