If you don't care if people see it, and don't care who else is carrying, then disregard my message. I heard there is this thread about dogs you might like. For those who take a look and say hey, maybe I do adjust my belt sometimes, I should pay attention to that, then here you go! This post was for you guys.

Hey, just wanted to say that I hadn't seen the graph before, and while I was aware of the different ways a concealed weapon could be deduced, I still enjoyed seeing them all together on one image. Thumbs up from this citizen.

As far as me using this chart to know if other people are carrying...I assume that every single person I meet is armed.

I always wonder why police ask people if they're carrying a gun when they are stopped. Do they assume that the person is telling the truth when they say no?

Not a bad idea to assume everyone is or could be armed. I think the police issue is more about the person's reaction. If you ask someone if they have a weapon and they are really nervous about it, they probably do. I watched something on TV once where an officer talked about how he does it. He asks if they have any guns bombs drugs tanks explosives etc... just really random things like a tank. Most people laugh at the suggestion they have a tank with them. Those who don't laugh, might have something to hide. Just a thought.

^that pic is great.

i CC an just recently started OCing. most people don't even notice when i OC, it's amazing how oblivious people are.

when i CC i have a galco king tuk and it works fine. the one problem i have is that i prefer my gun to be about 3-3:30 and when i walk it usually shifts back to 4:30 so i do need to pull it forward occasionally.

I have an MTAC from comp-tac for my Kimber and it does the same thing. It doesn't like to sit on my hip so it shifts around to the 4:00-4:30. Is annoying. I think doing the velcro belt with the velcro straps would alleviate that problem, although I'm not sure if galco has that for their king-tuk. Thanks for the reply!

Right: I don't have sunscreen and map, but at 82, I do carry my , medications, plus cell phone, wallet, car key remote --Not to mention extra mag. and XD40 of course. I felt a little exposed at first but now, no one seems to notice.
