Re: love handles and concealed carry

Off topic, but.........

BMI does not take into affect any type of build. I was at 12% body fat and my BMI still said that I was obese, yet you could see a little bit of abs! It only really works if you are a guy with narrow shoulders and very little muscle.

Re: love handles and concealed carry

This may sound like it defies logic, but if you're using a cover garment, a good OWB rig actually prints LESS than an IWB rig for many people.
Not with my body. Although more comfortable, I can conceal much better with an IWB rig than an OWB. And trust me, I have LOVE handles. I have several OWB holsters but none conceal as well as my Concealco does. The wife can always tell if I have an OWB on, but she doesn't know if I am carrying with the IWB. With the OWB she says that my body has a funny shape.
