I wear a tux a few times a month while playing gigs.
There are two big problems:
1. Tuxedo pants don’t have belt loops. You wear suspenders. You just don’t wear a belt if you wear a tux.
It simply isn’t done, my good man!
2. Even if you had your tux pants altered and wore a belt, your gun would be buried under your cummerbund. Getting it out in a hurry would be a nightmare.
You could go the James Bond route and wear a shoulder holster, but what happens when the stage lights get hot, everyone starts to sweat and the bandleader tells the musicians to shed their jackets? This happens a lot!
So, I carry a P3AT in a pocket holster and a stungun in a cellphone case clipped to my cummerbund on the opposite side.
I’d love to hear any workable ideas from others in the same situation.
