We went to a memorial service for a friend yesterday, and the same huggy feeler approached me and hugged me, and then patted me down in the same spot she found my 1911 last time. Since I had come from work, where I can't carry, and hadn't taken my gun out og the lockbox in the car for the short trip, I didn't have it on. I let her go on patting my side for a while.AJ80 wrote:Wow, that had to be awkward. I don't think I'd be comfortable with someone feeling of my holstered pistol for a second or two or even at all.

(do a search if you're too young to get this)
I got a hug at church a while back, and then the hugger stood there and openly caressed the butt of my gun, for a second or two, while chatting with me. Initially I didn't know what to do, but settled for moving my elbow down into that area. The person knew, beforehand, that I carry, although she might not have known that I do at church, and I never asked what she was up to, the opportunity never came up.
I actually don't get hugged at church often, and when I do, it's almost always a side hug. Although I doubt anyone would feel my pistol when hugging me anyway since I carry a pocket pistol to church.
