Hard to say in some situations...
This last Christmas shopping season, I had this girl who was enthusiastically trying to sell me these herbal (microwavable) heat wraps for aches and pains (you know the ones I'm talking about)...
Well I was carrying as usual, in the usual manner, and she went for the sale, in the power of the demonstration...
And before I knew it she had the waist wrap version of the product slung around me and was bringing it up around the girth area...
Well she knocked into the Glock and went pale when she figured out what it was...
I told her it was ok, and that he did nothing wrong...She is new to the country as she had recently immigrated from Russia (legally) and was surprised to see someone not in uniform carrying a firearm "legally"...
I didn't spend a lot of time trying to convert her or explain anything...I did buy (and had the intention all a long to do so) a set of those heating pads for "Wife Unit", and gave the girl "El Gato's" business card with the URL for this website to give her something to read up on...
I felt this was proper to do, and hope she gets as much information as possible from us...She seemed very computer savvy and interested in
This whole incident kinda covered the whole spectrum of a senario which was introduced in the beginning...
I go to the Men's Warehouse (and other clothiers) a lot, and there are times when "fittings" are needed, I tend to either leave it locked up in the vehicle, or have "Wife Unit" take the responsibility at that time...If she's there...
So all I can say is do a little thinking about it before you head off to one of these places...And unless the folks doing all the measuring and other work associated with getting you all hooked up are hip to the idea of normal people carrying firearms...I'd probably just not have it become and issue...
This is another one of those good topics to kick around from time to time...
