“Not a .45”

[candcallen]

Is that a .45 or are you just happy to see me...

 

[leVieux]

You must be against open carry then?

Moi?

No, not at all. I grew-up in an O C always legal State, and have done that a bunch.

But, “Concealed means concealed!!”

In fact, today, if yu see me O C’ing; legal or not, I still have a concealed somewhere.

Example: Living in a rural area, I may O C a .22 semi-auto. There is still a .45 or 9mm somewhere, where it isn’t evident.

Do not underestimate the effects of “surprise” on a BG predator.

I have been stalked in Houston neighborhoods while out for a walk.
they see a 79yo man, bent-over a bit, walking with a cane.

But then they suddenly see a .45.

“STOP; don’t make me draw my weapon!!”

Their attitude is immediately adjusted.

If it's concealed, how would they see it before you draw it?

Do you live in Texas, or Louisana?

Excuse, me sir, your 45 is printing…

Haha! Now I get it. Thank you for explaining that to those of us who are slow!
(Yes I’m serious)

This (dangers of OC compared to CC) seems like a topic that we ought to pursue further. Wait! (never mind).

You're not the only one. I saw that post and was just scratching my head.

Duh, I pushed my shirt or vest back, grasped weapon, ready to draw. A person has a lot less to possibly explain if weapon never leaves its holster.

IIRC, in that case it was a "safari vest" and a G26, not a real .45.

Every prosecutor loves the word "brandish" and misuses it liberally.

Personally, I don't go around inquiring what another man may be carrying in his "fanny" pack.

Just seems rather rude, with over-tones of ghey!
