[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 1985057, member: 24583"] While I see your point, I think most of the signs will be short lived. For me, I tried 6 IWB holsters, some better than others, considered a complete different wardrobe, etc. Mostly wound up with my mouse gun deep in my front pocket. It was concealed better than anything else, but also hard to get to especially sitting down. To me, I have no desire to fully OC with a leg strap for the bottom of my six shooter holster. I am now wearing an OWB holster with a 1911 and a shirt pulled over most of the top most of the time that is comfortable and has easy access. In the past, only a very small percentage of people knew about CC or had any thought of anyone CCing, including the people who might have been sitting right beside them. Now I think there will be an adjustment period where they now see part or all of a firearm and start thinking and talking about this. In my case I have had this discussion with 6 people. They asked me why I just started carrying a firearm. I state that I have been carrying a firearm every time they have been around me in the past. Now with the change in laws, I do not have to hide it and sit in a weird position to keep it from pinching my skin, or hide it so deep in my pocket that it would be hard for me to get to if there were a reason. I am the same person, no different than I was last month, just dressed different. We usually get into a deeper discussion after that as to why I carry, but this is the jest how I handle it. Two of those people are now signed up for a Carry Class, one avoids sitting close to me for now. Again, I think we are mostly going through an adjustment period changing from "out of sight, out of mind" to "in sight, so what." [/QUOTE]
