Welcome to OCDO.
Could you be a bit more precise about how you are carrying?
At first I thought you might be pocket carrying, but then the comment about your shirt not covering said that was not right.
Are you wearing a fairly low-ride OWB holster at 3 o'clock such that part of the body of the holster slips into your pocket?
I've learned to not say much about how others may be dealt with by cops - especially if the person has a "history" and thje cops are aware of that. About the only semi-safe generalization is that not calling attention to yourself can lessen the odds cops will want to interact with you. Also, case law about what constitutes concealed varies so muh by state that it is difficult to keep up with the ins and outs of it. It would help if some Michiganders chimed in wit state-specific info for you. (But watch out for those Yoopers - they sametimes have a twisted sense of humor. :lol: )
stay safe.
Khar P45, holster (nylon holster that doubles as IWB/OWB) with a clip that attaches to my right front pocket (jeans). 2 o'clock. Holster is about 50% visible if I'm shirtless.
I wore a button down shirt today and it concealed my gun 100% because it's longer. Most of my shirts conceal the gun just enough if I am standing still. But moving around plus the wind and whatnot, my shirts are not always concealing my gun.
I am certainly not known by LEO in Detroit.
I'm confused you do or do not have a CPL? I think you are saying you had one, let it lapse and now have one again, but I'm not sure.
Sorry, that was misleading. Yes, I had one. Long story short, the president of the company I work for restored my faith in LE (he was chief of police and is a federal marshal), so now I have my CPL again.
Well ****, now I remember that I was stopped once while carrying in the pocket like I do now... I may have actually posted this story on here years ago.
I should probably mention that I moved to Detroit (not the best decision) from Harrison Township and I'm white which means people notice me around here.
I'm short, and have an athletic body type so you'll notice a bulg where the gun is....
I was carrying a Kimber Raptor II 1911 (4" barrel IIRC) with a similar holster in my right pocket. Was walking back from the store on the sidewalk in a residential area. Approaching a road at an intersection, a car pulled up and 3 males starred me down hard. I forgot the dialog but they got out and stopped me in the middle of the road, at that point I was passing behind their vehicle. I wasn't alarmed because I knew they were undercover LEO.
They ran my CPL, asked me questions like why was I living in Detroit (lol). Didn't disarm me. I don't look like a criminal. I made a joke, "lookin for dope?". He said, "nope, just guns. We'll get some tonight, too."
***edit:
I also remember him (the one who stood with my while the other 2 ran my license) asking me why I carried in the pocket. I told him because it was comfortable and very easy to draw from. I don't remember a notable response.
How could I have avoided that situation? Probably by not moving to Detroit? (haha) If I was OCing I'd expect the same result. Maybe not tho. A concealed gun that is not so concealed can create situations with LE. I think that is the moral of the story.
