This afternoon I was headed out for a parts run when I looked over to see a man on a motorcycle..........with a nice semi-auto on his belt. Apparently, he forgot the wind would blow up his shirt and was flashing all of Fort Worth with his sidearm. I politely gave a honk and pointed down at which point he covered up and waved a thank you.

Now, this could have gone a few different directions. It could have been a thug of a fella and I could have gotten a few rounds through the truck. Another version is that I could have been an anti and called in a man with a gun......OR, I could have done as I did and went on my way. What would you have done??

I think what you did was good...I would have appreciated it if I was the guy on the bike.

I'm sure your body lanquage made it clear you were not "Anti".

I would have done the same.

As a biker myself sounds like you couldn't have handled it any better and I am certain the biker was very thankful.

You handled it right IMHO.

Since I am definately not the biker but the guy in the PU truck, I too say you did well.

I think I would rather have one of you guys tell me my gun was hangin out than a LEO.

Good work man.

I'm sure he thought about it the rest of the day and kept thanking you in his mind, and being thankful that you saw him first and not an officer.
Good work sir! We all have to watch out for each other.

Good going age_ranger! Like others have said, I hope that if I ever inadvertently flash a handgun in public, someone like you points it out rather than some anti or a LEO.

That's what I was thinking.....but then there's that thought in the back of my mind that says "What if.........." Still, I doubt a crook would take the time to pick out a nice belt holster and gun belt. Thanks for the replies. I feel much better about it now.

Simple courtesy, it's a beautiful thing. Being new to concealed carry myself, I've had my own run-ins with the wind.

It's a learning process.

Thank you for pointing it out to the rider. I ride and I would have wanted to be told. I think the good leather holster was a definite clue that he was a CHL holder. All the riders I know that carry use a vest, their coat, a good holster or on bike carry. I do not know of any one on a bike that carries "Mexican". We value our guns too much to chance loosing them on a large bump. You did good.

would have done same as you did....

I always carry mine either in my jacket or in my IWB holster and am always checking it
