Treva's Barber Shop
Anyone here on this board frequent Treva for a hair cut in Fort Worth. I ask because as I was getting my hair cut a guy walked in wearing a vest and what looked to be a tactical khaki web belt everyone seems so fond of on here. He had his cellphone in a khaki case at 3o'clock. I did a double check to make sure it wasn't a mag holder. I honestly didn't know if the guy was carrying as I could not see any printing, but he looked the part, talked the part (prior military, conservative). I wanted to ask in a discreet manner, but thought better of it.
So was it anybody on this board?

Re: Treva's Barber Shop
Wasn't me, I do not go west of I-45 when I am up in Dallas...
So what are your concerns??? I believe you made a good observation, yet why would you want to strike up a conversation with someone that you observed wearing certain items of clothing, and said a few things that may identify him as someone who "might" be carrying...
Reverse the situation, and put yourself in his shoes...Would you like to have someone you don't know come up to you and ask if you were carrying a firearm??? No matter how innocent and chummy you are to the issue of concealed carry???
Like I said you made a good observation, but I would not even ask anyone I know, who I know is very likely to be carrying...

Are they right or left handed???USA1 wrote:i think it was either Joe817 or lonewolf .
I don't put anything on the strong-side but the "Sledgehammer"...And my cellphone usually sits in the left breast shirt pocket...My reloads sit in the left cheek pocket...
So I do not think I would garner much attention or scrutiny by anyone...
I am just a harmless fuzzball...

I would never ask in a public place but striking up conversation on the side is something else. Notice I may have wanted to ask but I did not end up asking. Which is why I waited till today and came on here to ask if it was anyone. aka... side conversation.
I would never intentionally out someone, I would tell someone if their 2a rights were showing very visibly, but in the most discreet way possible in case no one else has noticed.
and just cause i feel like this smiley today

Re: Treva's Barber Shop
Just for info, I have left my pistol in the car (parked in front where I can see it) at a barbershop and gone inside and removed my cover garment (in winter) openly displaying two loaded magazines in a double mag pouch on weak side and a empty holster on strong side.
It is not illegal. I am still considering if it is foolish........
To keep this post on the thread topic, I have never been to Treva's Barber Shop.

Now quit trying to get me in trouble! I don't need any more help!!USA1 wrote:i think it was either Joe817 or lonewolf .
Nope, wasn't me. I don't look that conservative(I don't think), and I get haircuts only 3 or 4 times a year. But I AM left handed.
Where is this barber shop anyway? I grew up in Ridglea area.

If they even noticed they probably thought that you were foolish because you accidently left your gun at home.AEA wrote:Just for info, I have left my pistol in the car (parked in front where I can see it) at a barbershop and gone inside and removed my cover garment (in winter) openly displaying two loaded magazines in a double mag pouch on weak side and a empty holster on strong side.

No problem. Treva does a great job. $14 for a hair cut, and shaves your neck with a straight razor...joe817 wrote:Thanks Aggie. That's over right by me a few miles. I pass by it all the time.....but I've never been in there.
