What do you mean by "Identify my carry piece"?I don't have to identify my carry piece in AZ, for example, unless they specifically ask.

This is definitely one of those things that vary from state to state. Regardless of one's views on this, if you're going to carry you should know what the requirement is in your area.Reminds me …. and this is OT, but I think I read somewhere that failing to voluntarily notify LE that one is legally CCW when one comes into contact is a misdemeanor in some jurisdictions, or is on legislative agenda somewhere, maybe.
I‘d have to go back through my emails and all the legal mail I get to be sure.
That is not something I would ever do (on GP actually) because it leads right into a legal gray area.By contrast, if you saw an officer in a coffee shop on a break and struck up casual conversation, that would not be an official contact.
Not flexible in the least with regard to the serious business of going forth armed in public. Feel like this is the type of thread topic that invites a lot of overthinking (holster brands? attire? "philosophy?" really?)yet remain flexible in their execution?

Thank you for clarifying.Tell the officer that you are packing.
I retired from teaching about two years ago. Thank you for your continued service.I'm Jewish (hence my use of my Hebrew name as my user name on this and some other forums). I'm no longer Orthodox so I don't wear my yarmulke everywhere I go anymore, and thus I'm no longer very identifiable as Jewish (and since dad isn't Jewish, my last name isn't jewish, so using a credit card somewhere won't identify me either). Still, things are getting squirrely out there, I have had threats online, and I've heard my students say some hateful things (not to or about me, at least not for years, but about Jews). Even though I've never been into jewelry (other than watches), I have started wearing a Chai, and since so many people don't know what that is, I'm about to get a Star of David necklace (I will not let antisemites scare me into hiding).
To make a long story short, I have largely adopted the “snubby lifestyle,” carrying guns to get me out of trouble, rather than carrying guns for going out to look for trouble, or to go and get into trouble. (I did not say “start trouble!”)
My philosophy is patterned after old 007.
I plan to NOT pull my gun.
I carry a money clip with $100-$200 worth of cash and two prepaid VISA cards. It is to throw down if I get mugged.
I keep aware.
I drive defensively.
Mind my business.
I'm not a cop, or a soldier.
Unlike 007, I don't have a license to kill, or the desire.
But......should something go south I am armed over 90% of the time, and a graduate of three advanced combative handgun classes.(just in case)
I like the above comments and many more in the thread. Because1- Carry what I want.
2-Know how to use it.
3-Know when to use it.
