    Default Re: You've been made!

    I was made a few weeks ago. Walking normally into a garage shop, looking for something liquid to soothe the heat and I get a tap on my shoulder. A guy extend his hand and greets me with his name. I greet back. He asks "Are you in personal protection?" And I say "No, why do you ask?" "Because I see you're carrying a gun. But okay cool, cheers!" My heart sank and I immediately grabbed my shirt. Gun isn't exposed, nor is the shirt printing. To this day I don't know how he made me.

    Toxxyc, he probably read that "how to spot a concealed firearm" poster....twice!

    If hugs with stranger are involved, I tend to hug with the left arm and cover the gun with the right, so even if their arms go there they won't come in direct contact with it.

    If ones personal space is shared by such examples as mentioned in previous posts, then why just deal with.
    If a person is so trusting to go into that personal space of yours to discover "your items" then it should be all good.
    Flinching and "hiding" etc brings a cloud over what I am legally allowed to do.

    This freaking out shit is a knee jerk to all the bullshit foreign media we washed with.
    South Africans are a gun owning nation and is well entrenched in our culture.
    This fiddle faff is bullshit and do not get it.
    Probably attention seeking.
    Allow this shit to grow and next they will shriek at the sight of us braaing meat!

    I have had someone walk into the very sharp rear sight of my CZ before, in a shopping center and all I got was a shocked look and the expression of someone in pain. I am a skinny bugger so I can blame my boney physique.
    KK20, I agree with you.

    When getting poked when appendix carrying, can you use the excuse of your Belt Buckle ?

    I feel the same way, if it happened at my home I would probably wouldn't mind.

    Unfortunately I was in a building with an administration not with the same stand point and who will enforce their right of admission and that I need to enter on regular basis for the foreseeable future and will like to do without compromising my EDC.

    The lady in question will probably be fine with it I'm just afraid of a momentary freak out or unintended out cry of surprise in a smallish room full of mostly "liberal" parents. I'm slowly converting some of the "liberal" parents on a one on one basis as the opportunity arise but in a group setting I will probably come out second best in an argument.
