Funny, I was just talking about how every spring is a reeducation time for many places I OC...

Wear layers and virginia-tuck.

When it's pretty cold (20'sF and below) wear a short-sleeve-t-shirt, long-sleeve-t-shirt, and flannel all tucked into your pants and a large sweater on top tucked behind your gun. Don't forget the long-johns either; and keep your feet, hands, and head warm. Maybe you'll need bigger pants, but it's pretty easy to OC and stay warm.

Take the sweater off in the 30's, take the flannel off in the 40's, and take the long-sleeve-t-shirt off in the 50's. Over 60, carry mexican-style in your swim trunks and go shirtless! :lol:

Adding/removing layers is my way of adjusting the thermostat. Dress in layers around the house and you'll save money on your heating bill, too. I keep my thermostat at 60 for most of the winter. Why so high? If I go any lower my pipes start to freeze.


EDIT: Realized that wearing gloves could make it difficult to draw and fire. Just wear one glove. :)

Gotta be careful with that - wouldn't want anyone mistaking you for Michael Jackson, with the one glove and all.

When I went out today, I just wore a light jacket, and tucked the end of one side into my waistband, so I wasn't concealing. Of course, by the time I get my CHP, it'll be warm enough that it won't be a problem anymore.

God it was pathetic.

I took my dog to the park so it could play in the snow, saw 2-3 other dog's out there with their owners playing.

NOT ONE SINGLE CHILD. NONE!

My god, when I was 10, if we had 2'' of snow we'd be outside for hours playing. When your socks finally froze it was time to go home!

Well I'm not a fan of playing IN the snow anymore. But I did have fun this morning romping around the neighborhood in the 4x4. ;)

I'm still wearing shorts.
:what:It's people like you that make my DNA remember where I grew up. I can be bundled to the teeth, and still start shivering when I see you wacky people running around in shorts.

Wuss. You do that, there is no boarding and no prize. What are you trying to do, pauper the officers?

Whypass up a chance to trade compliments and cutlass strokes with anopponent?

Shoot away their rigging. That is the proper course.
