    Informative CCW Article

    Found this link via another forum I frequent. While written for LEOs, I though it presented some interesting insights for anyone who carries concealed. Even though I have worked very hard to CC discreetly, I realized I have more "tells" than I thought, but that may not necessarily be a bad thing.

    That is an excellent article! I liked it enough to blog about it.

    Really should be mandatory reading for CCW holders and LEOs.

    Thanks for posting it.

    It's great to read an article which provides NEW information that hasn't been rehashed dozens of times.

    Thanks for sharing the great piece.

    I agree it was good.

    This one, not so much: http://www.policeone.com/patrol-issu...n-you-need-it/

    Check your state statutes for a “Refusal to Aid Officer” statute. Discover if your state or province (for brothers and sisters in Canada) has one. Then consider adding this tool to your tool box when you need back-up “right now!” and there are no uniforms close.
    Really?

    Oh, dear. I seem to be dressed like an off-duty cop. Hey, you know who I almost never read about getting mugged or otherwise pestered?

    IMHO, it's not so bad to appear to be an off-duty cop. Although I will never impersonate a LEO, I don't mind if a bad guy thinks it a bad idea to take me or my family on for fear that I carry myself in a way that indicates I'm potentially armed.
