Let me put it this way: If it were any other very personal question asked by a complete stranger in public, would you feel obliged to answer or make something up?

My guess is you wouldn't.

Perhaps, you'd shake your head in disgust while saying nothing and keep walking.

But since you're (legally) carrying a concealed handgun, some of you feel you've no choice but to provide a reply, i.e., lie. Well, you don't have to fabricate an answer as you owe no answer.

Me, if ever asked a personal question by a stranger, I'm not going to provide some bogus answer to a question that should never be asked.

Am I being picky?

Nope, I'm just not made nervous because I'm legally carrying a pistol in an OWB holster that might create a bit of a bulge.

I'm an OWB guy.

A little bulge showing, who cares?

Very few people will notice and if they do, I will state: I don't care if they notice.

Nor, will I concern myself with: What if someone asks about the very slight bulge?

Puh-leeze, if someone is ill-mannered enough to ask, you are not obligated to give an answer.

If such a personal question IS asked, just stare at them. They'll get the message.
