I have to disagree that a MWAG report is a reason for police to question someone anymore. It is perfectly reasonable for me to carry my gun either concealed or openly without having to answer to LE. In the old days, MWAG could almost be presumed to be illegal since we couldn't legally carry. Nowadays, MWAG is legally equivalent to "man with a car." Unless you see something additional besides the mere presence of a gun or a car, there is no reasonable suspicion that a crime has been or is about to be committed. Thus, no reason for police to question me.Jusme wrote: There is a principal, involved, and while, it's well within the officer's authority, to inquire about an LTC, to do so, just because, "he can spot someone carrying" is, in my opinion, not really justified. I have had nothing but positive interactions with LEO while carrying, and have only shown my LTC, when stopped for a traffic violation. I OC the majority, of the time, and have never been questioned by LEO. I believe that unless he had reason to do so, i.e. MWAG report etc. There was no reason to check your legality. I haven't been to the Alamo, in several years, was this a Texas State Trooper, who questioned you?

Re: Where are all of the "printers"?
Not so much concerned about the legalities involved, just wondering if others have noticed what I haven't been able to.

Where are all of the "printers"?
After carrying for over 20 years, teaching for awhile, and generally always trying to be aware of people and my surroundings, I have still never seen anyone carrying who was "printing" or otherwise alerted me to the fact that he was trying to conceal a gun. I hope I am not that oblivious to what's around me, but I always hear some guys say how they "made" someone who didn't conceal properly, and how easy it is to spot some "printers."
Is it just me, or do others notice that concealed really means concealed, and that there isn't a lot of printing going on?
