Drawing Attention Away From Your Concealed Carry Gun (Written by: Greg Ellifritz)

He said "Hello, sir!" Walking stiffly 5 yards behind him was Guy#2, also wearing jeans and tucked-in plaid shirt. He didn't respond to my "Hey, how's it going?". These dudes were completely out of place in the Portland hills, where no one except annoyed LEO's say "Hello, sir!"

My top three explanations: 1) awkward LEO gay couple looking for a picnic site? 2) 40yr old LDS missionaries walking their dog? 3) psycho killers scouting for victims?

I think you missed a clue.

Good point; the shorter grip provides less for them to grab, too. I tend to tuck my elbow and crunch in... I should probably start carrying them more on my non-dominant side, though. Sometimes their knee will bump it and I get a “wtf is that look.”

LOL are you for real?

You would look like a right freak and completely out of place in about 95% of American suburbia dressed like that. You might fit in at Menards or the county dump tho.

First graders are the right height to take an AIWB slide to the forehead if/when they get a little physical...

I dunno, he did a pretty great video on how not to respond to a far ambush... Let's give credit where credit is due...

The mothers seem particularly observant on how you interact with your kids.

Dude, so learned this one the hard way a few days ago... I brought my 1.5 year old to a petting zoo and picked her up so she could pet some alpacas. Right as I pick her up she latches onto me shirt and drags it up with her, giving a whole busload of Canadian tourists who had just pulled up a prime view of my G43... Needless to say we were done with the alpacas and found somewhere else to be.

I don't care enough about Yeager to pay that much attention to him. I presume you're talking about the incident where he ran the wrong way or hid in a ditch or something and everybody said he was a coward?

Not my circus not my monkeys.

I got useful information from the videos that I mentioned other than that I don't seek him out on YouTube
