    Nope.

    Everybody.

    If a person can carry on an extended conversation with a NYC cop and the cop not know that the person was carry, I would say that he does not suck at carrying concealed.

    If a person can go through Mexican customs on the way into Mexico and through American customs on the way back while carrying and it was not noticed, I would also say that he does not suck at carrying concealed.

    I personally witnessed both of these situations.

    Therefore, your "everbody" is not correct.

    Situational awareness is within the grasp of all mortal men.

    Situational awareness is different than knowing whether someone is carrying.

    As far as I'm concerned, a person can be a threat whether they are carrying or not. I carry, so I assume that others carry also. For the most part, threats tend to be more up close and personal. Seldom does someone get robbed by a person that is 50 ft away from them. Most incidents occur within 20 ft or so. In the two cases where I have had someone try to rob me, it was a lot closer than that.

    Sounds like you should work on your situational awareness.

    Either that or you should accept the fact that you're situational awareness might not be as acute as you're inclined to believe.

    There are very few absolutes in this world.

    That was quite a few decades ago. I was pretty young and naive the first time someone tried to rob me and I got shot. The second time someone tried to rob me was when I was in the Navy and walking back to base after frequenting a few bars off-base. I made the mistake of cutting through an area that was not lighted. It seemed like a good shortcut at the time... Wrong...

    Notice that in both situations, I said that they *tried* to rob me. They were not successful.

    You remind me of this lady who confronted me on another forum, telling me that her special witchy powers would tell her like a blinking neon beacon who was in possession of a deadly weapon, no matter how concealed it was. She would sense it, she said.
    Ooooh, magic.

    I was like damn, sometimes I forget I have it on. How is that gonna happen... Does the gun itself have a vibe? If you're going for some kind of aggressive vibe, you're gonna miss it on me for sure. My countenance is the same if I'm carrying or not.


    Most often, I don't try too hard to conceal. But the extended mag on my 26 in appendix carry makes a hard straight line that looks like a phone. You're gonna totally miss it on me and think "cell phone in holder" on me all day long, promise. Unless, I don't care to hide the fact and dress tactical.

    if it's in the inside part of my backpack... you're gonna miss that. Although I hate to carry that way, I occasionally do.

    If I have it in a belly band up under my left breast, with a t shirt over it, and a vest over that, it's not visible.

    NYC cops specifically look for guns and knives. They also have a stop and frisk policy so if they see anything that looks like either you will be stopped and questioned. I've personally seen several people stopped for knives entering the subway systems.

    Just because it is a Texas thing does not mean it is good.


    This is the fallacy. Everyone who thinks he likes Whataburger is deluding himself because Whataburger is a Texas thing. The burgers themselves are objectively bad. These same people pretend to dislike In and Out because In an Out is a California thing, when In and Out is actually delicious.

    And now I know because you told me.


    See, everybody sucks at concealed carry.

    You are infatuated with a California company called In and Out
    Sounds more like a porn movie than a place to eat
    You can have all of the in and out you want bud
