Yea, 1st time I have been called that too.

OH well, we really never know how others see us. I guess.

I knew I would love your response.

This last paragraph folks is the best advice you will get on cover. I wish I had wrote this. I may do just that on the other board I mod & would take credit for it except they would know I aint quite that sharp...

Everyone can find a style of dress that will accommodate concealed carry within their lifestyle parameters. Sometimes it means staying more dressed up than usual, sometimes it means being more casual than usual. Sometimes it means adding accessories you normally wouldn't. Be creative!
That is the key.

Thanks KB & hope to shoot again soon my friend.

Thank you sir & I am so prowd of Mom sometimes I nearly bust.

I also, agree that most people will pay no attention to you and will not notice anything. Most everyone walks around oblivious to their surroundings and are in their own little world.

Good Luck!

Yup. Everyone else just thinks you're eccentric, or a plain ol' dork.

KB you scoundrell, you know I cover w/ a vest all the time. I have been called Redneck, Clod Kicker, Dumb Country Boy, Hick, Flatland Farm Boy, & a few things that aint printable under the 10yr old Granddaughter rule,
BUT:
I aint never been called neither excetric or plain ol dork til now.
You be ashamed & pass supper tonight w/ your head held down my friend.

One of my Sunday vests. I put on one of my Sunday shirts so you ad a tie & dress pants.


Casual vest here is really a heavy cotton western snap shirt. Take the sleeves out, square it up at the bottom, & hem it. I have the dennim & a kakki one.


A close up of the same one. Starched & ironed these will look sharp over a dress shirt with or w/o a tie. The lab coat will make a good one too. Sleeves out & cut it off at the length you want it. Dont like snaps. Pick a heavy weave print shirt w/ a long tail. take the sleeves out & square it up at the bottom. Folks will think you bought it that way & ask "where did you get that."
I promice they will said the Redneck Country Boy.

toddlinder,
I will be back shortly w/ some pics of my vests. Wear them all the time & for Sunday dress. Not a suit coat but I like'em.
