As far as what, I seem to be one of the people who is an idiot magnet at times - I rarely go to bars, I don't do anything illicit, etc., but some damned fool tried to carjack me last year with the old lady in the car (and I drive a 17 year old beast).

Criminals are rarely bright, and those whose substance of choice is huffing paint are even dimmer.

Let me get this straight:

#1. He attempted to rob a man who could fold me up into an accordion and throw me through 3 plate glass windows for good measure

who was

#2. Driving a car you probably can't buy spare parts for

Pardon my mention of the word French, but what a G.D. moron.

Come to think of it, the whole reason I got interested in the CCW process is because I have no chance in heck against anyone 6'8" tall...

You're scarring me with that mental picture....

Yeah, that's what I thought too. He was surprised that said driver pulled a gun worth more than the car. ;)

Some of them, no - you've got to fabricate or modify. :)

Yes, that's about what I thought. Some people you just can't reach.

I got one because I can't run much any more due to an injury I sustained in an ROTC class in college - my right ankle is cooked. Well, that and I was carrying a gun for years before I could get one anyway. ;)

Maybe not worth mentioning (but I usually do anyway), LL Bean and Eddie Bauer have decent jackets for that casual look that I'd think would be good for CC....didn't punch the links here but do a google search. I told Bumper last night that when I saw the mention of "Smoking Jacket"...I immediately had this vision of Hugh Hefner with a pipe in his mouth, a 1911 in one hand, and the other hand on one of his "bunnies"......geesh, I didn't know they even made smokin jackets anymore.

This looks interesting for CCW wear.

Yeah, nobody would suspect you of carrying in that outfit, huh?

When you add the Concealed Carry Magazine ballcap you simply disappear in the crowd.

Hi All

The reason the link to Concealed Carry Outfitters didn't work is because I misspelled it. Here it is again www.ConcealedCarryOutfitters.com

Oops, again, I fixed it soon after you misspelled it

Summertime is coming - here are a few concealment fashion notes to consider. Maybe you have some of your own to share:

1. A denim overshirt on top of a golf shirt is a nice way to appear to be dressed casually while concealing your firearm.

2. Summertime is a good time to reconsider your holster options, including the use of ankle holsters and a smaller size firearm.

3. For business attire, consider the SkyOps holster - created ostensibly for sky marshals. It takes a of practice, but I found it works very well. It is intended for kidney area placement under a tucked-in shirt, with the "J" hook looping underneath your dress belt. Nice once you get used to it.
