CCW curiosity and etiquette
I have this acquaintance (husband of a friend of my wife), who I think carries all the time. I've never caught him printing. I told my wife I think so-and-so's packing, and she thinks I'm nuts. At first I pointed out that I had never seen him not wearing a sport coat. Then last weekend, we met them for a casual dinner. No jacket, but he was wearing a loose polo shirt untucked. See, I said to Mrs 5207.
I don't know the guy very well, just see him at parties and such a couple of times a year. What's the polite way to ask? Or should I just stifle my curiosity?

I don't care that he's black. I hate him because he's Red.

Some people are touchy about others knowing they carry but size him up and if you think it's a good idea just ask him. If it were me, I wouldn't care if I was asked. It's not a big secret.

If you're really that curious, ask him along on your next trip to the range. If he's already a shooter (and packing) it'll be easy to compare carry methods with a kindred spirit. If you're just imagining things, you might introduce a new future gun nut to the addiction.

+1 on the range trip invite!
When he shows up with his pistol casually ask if he carries it!

Should be an easy conversation once you know the guy a little. Just start talking about shooting and what YOU carry.

You could always ask him if he knows what it takes to get a ccw permit.

I'd give him a pat down... haha, in all seriousness like DTE mentioned, ask him to go to the shooting range.
