We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Yea I've noticed that since I have been CCing, that I tend to walk a bit differently AND have to constantly adjust my holster. Of course, since I own a Hi Point, I am guessing this is not uncommon for that type of gun.

A lot of this is "dated" and doesn't always work today due to preference for semi-autos vs revolvers. The "Unbalanced walk" is not usually as noticeable if someone is carrying an equal load on the other side such as a double mag carrier. Same for clothing fit. Semi's are slimmer than revolvers.
The best way is to assume EVERYONE is carrying a firearm and act accordingly.

LOL ironic, isn't it, how some gun people are so anti-oc and then they were all the 5.11 tactical gear that practically screams "I HAVE A GUN!" to anyone paying attention?
Remember to look for/notice the tacticool rigger/instructor's belt.
I wear one occasionally, but I am OCing 24/7 except in church where I CC.
The hoody sweatshirt with one pocket sagging badly with extra weight might be a clue too - especially with a frequent hand check.
Very baggy jeans worn high and tight (to retain a holsterless handgun) can provide visual clues.
Thought I saw a holster in church recently - turned out to be a very long and large cell phone case of nice leather.

I am Journalist!
I am a Photographer!
I am a Fisherman!
I'm just wearing my old "Army Clothes" 'cause they're comfy'!

Can we forget the possible basement dwelling ninja out satisfying the need for a burger fix? They scare me the most. Not really. :lol:

It's not the basement dwelling ninja's out there that are wearing the 5.11 gear, it't those that don't wear much at all that are really scary:

When I wear 511 pants I figure it screaming that I am armed comes with the pants. I have seen people wearing camo pants and a hunting vest while sitting at the coffee shop...ARMED!

I am of the opinion that "Clothing" doesn't say anything. A lady's tank top or short skirt don't scream "Hooker" do they?
I've seen a lot more people just wearing plain jeans, slacks, golf shirts, flannel shirts, and even suits, carrying guns than I have wearing any 5.11 gear.

pic didn't work if that's what you were trying
Perhaps not, but they don't exactly scream "nun" either

That's a small bore compared to the .730 DDR!
I guess the NE would be OK for squirrels.

Seriously, how would one even shoot something like that? I mean how is it physically possible? I've seen footage of an experienced shooter firing a 500 or 700 NE from a great big (read: heavy) double rifle, and it damn near knocks him on his azz. How the heck do you shoot a pistol in such a caliber without embedding it several inches into your face??

You keep your arms extended so the recoil carries it up and over your head. But then you run the risk of momentum then shoving it up your a**.
