Come to think of it. I need to have a little chat with my friends. Those who knows me well enough knows I carry. But those are also the ones that keeps busting my chops by patting me down. I know they meant it as a joke, but sometimes I don't really find that funny especially in a public place. :evil:

As for carrying, I've been carrying my Glock 19 for the past few days in a CTAC and it's so much lighter around my waist. I almost want to carry it full time. :lol: . Nah, I like my 1911s better. :cool:

Yeah - my friends do that too...well...close friends. Or they ask if I have "it" on me...and I tell them what I always do "I can't answer that question :lol: but don't put me in a situation to find out"

As for patting my hip, mine do that too as a joke sometimes...nobody really knows what they're doing, but I halfway put my roommate in an arm-bar last time he did. He's a little slower to act, and quicker to think now.

Walked up behind me & put her hands on the small of my back & said, 'scuse me OhOOO. Quietly she asked, "was that what I think it was?" Depends on what you think it was. She grinned & said I have one too.
What a back brace?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

+1 on the weapon choice. I wear $15 shirts from Target, but I have to have gear that matches. No black belt w/ brown holster/ammo carrier.

yes Baytown, excellent. She could have made a loud scene if she had been an anti. :roll: 'Coarce since sheeple don't really pay attention to anything going on around them because the police will take care of them & keep them safe, I doubt they would have known what it was.

Longtooth,

You were in a cell phone store! She probably thought it was a............. cell phone, and of course she has one too! You guys crack me up!

At least your mother dosen't say " This is my son____, guess what he has in his waist pack" I guess the good thing is, when I don't have my waist pack on, she thinks I'm unarmed!!

The only person that ever hugged me and got a hand full of SIG never said a word. Not even to my wife later.

Now I wear the SmartCarry to public huggie places.

Being a big guy, 6'7" and 300lbs, I have developed a method for those wanting a hug, I kep my arms parallel with my torso, bending them at the elbows and holding the forearms and hands out in front. This causes everyone to go high for a hug. I staretd doing this when some of my Christian Brothers came up to give me a hug during services. This way nobody's arms or hands get near my concealed weapon.

I was made once when my sons girlfriend, whom I had just met, came up to give me a hug and felt the gun when she wrapped her arms around my waist. She just looked up and said quietly, "my dad, the air marshall, carries there as well".

She's a keeper. Does she have a sister?
