Re: Questions about Printing...

The Annoyed Man wrote:Last night, one of my friends from church and I were leaving a Bible study we had been to together, and we started talking about rifles. After a few minutes, he straight up asked me, "do you ever pack heat, or do you have a CHL?" Well, he's a pretty good friend, and he is gun friendly, so I confessed that yes, I carry and have a CHL. He said "me too," and showed me his Glock 17 which was hidden under his sweater. He then asked to see what I carry - a Kimber Ultra Carry II - so I showed him. We talked for a few minutes more, and then each went on our way.

Now, the point of all this is that he is right handed, I'm left handed, and we have been sitting in the same spots on the same couch for the past 6 weeks on Thursday nights - with him on the left end of the couch, and me on the right end. Thus, my gun side was facing toward him, and his was toward me, and neither one of us ever realized that the other had been carrying all this time until last night when it came up in conversation.

The odds are practically nil that an uninitiated person is going to realize that you've got a pistol concealed about yourself.
If I read your post correctly, your guns were "facing" each other. If that is true, as a general "suggestion", I would suggest you switch ends on the couch. It is always a good practice to "control" your gun by minimizing the opportunity for it to come into contact with others in general, and BGs in particular. If you switch ends, the ends of the couch should better protect your gun and minimize the risk of someone sitting down beside you, brushing up against some hard metal object, and thus inviting unnecessary questions.
