I agree with most posters that either concealed or open carry is a non-issue. Concealed carry has been a non-issue for years and only was brought back to the spotlight after the passage of open carry. As for seeing people carrying it is simply a matter of numbers. In Texas LTC holders are now approaching 1 million, in a State with a population of 27 million. and while there are areas where the percentages may be higher, just using those numbers only gives you approximately 1 out of 27 people who are licensed, of those most will continue to conceal carry, while others may not carry at all even though they are legally able to do so. So unless there is a group of LTC holders together for an event or some other gathering together, the odds are less than 4 out of 100 people will potentially be carrying, openly or concealed, in any one area.

That's why I don't understand the sudden fear from the anti-gunners, we are a very small minority and have proven ourselves to be trustworthy and law abiding for years.

That makes sense. Maybe IWB is anathema to me because I have put on weight and all of my pants are tight enough as it is:)

Now you go and use a big word that I had to look up. It's all good.

If the rest of the IWB users are like me, they've got two different size pants in the closet.

I am thin, but have always preferred pants that fit loosely enough that I need a belt in order to keep them up. The typical jeans and slacks that I buy usually run big anyway as they are designed to be worn on the hips more so than the waist. I have found though that my uniform pants at work run much smaller in the waist, they are true to the waist size and fit me very snug. I have to pull them up over my belly button if I want to wear my IWB holster with my work pants. Next time I will order up a size.
