    I sold my only thigh holster to an incoming guard when I left DynCorp. I figured I'd never carry an M9 in a thigh holster again, and to date I've been correct.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Great guy, but he was a Dentist. He'd show up dressed up like he was on Seal Team 6. And the Tactical Rifle he had would have made most Snipers envious....

But after 45 years of doing a lot a shooting, i would probably present an unpleasant surprise when I am, and I am making an increased effort to be whenever and wherever I can.

    But another aspect of trying to appear "normal" is that with no LE or MIL related experience I damn sure don't wanna look like a poser...

    It's sad that that would need 'splaining. Then again, maybe some of the, er, chunkier folks out there thought it was to get the holster below their midriff bulge.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    What is it with dentists and guns? I guess they just like to drill.

    Describes me as well.

    I began shooting handguns 38 years ago living on Long Island, NY where CCW is/was verboten. The Suffolk County "pistol permit" simply allowed one to buy a handgun and keep it on one's premises. With a "target shooting endorsement" one can CCW to-and-from the range, but that was it.

    Ten years ago we moved to the Live Free of Die state where CCW is unrestricted. But since I worked daily in an office environment where CCW was not allowed, I only carried occasionally when not at work. I now work from a home office and practice my CCW rights daily, except when I have to go into the office.

    Back on topic, I have not changed in any way the type of casual (non-office) clothing I have always worn. I do, however, remain casually aware of my concealment and make inconspicuous effort to maintain it.
