I thought I would post this even though it is not much of a story. It was really a non-event but it kind of goes with some of the discussions that you see on the boards here.
As some on here know we go to karaoke on monday nights at a local club (no I do not sing so get the images of me belting out random show tunes out of your head). The guy that runs the show, and his wife, are very fond of my bf's singing (he is very good). He is a very friendly guy and has gotten to know us very well over the fast few months.
When we arrived last night I had just come straight from seeing a property and did not get to change from my daily carry set up to my wallet carry. First thing he did was come up to me from behind and put his arm around me to say hello (one of those touchy felly 60's/70's guys). His hand went straight onto my OWB holster holding my S&W 637. I was not sure what to do or say. He then patted my holster and said "uh-oh...I know what this is".
I said "yeah, I carry at work and came straight here". I was trying to sound nonchalant about it since I was not sure if he was going to think I was some kind of nut job now. Then the next thing he said was "feels like you are a revolver guy too".
Turns out he carries a revolver everywhere. I had never paid attention before but after he pointed it out I noticed the buldge under his untucked hawian shirt (which he always wears now that I think of it) at 4 o'clock. It wasn't even that well hidden once I noticed it. He said alot of people know bars pay with cash and that he gets tips during the evening and he is too old to be fist fighting with someone that would try to roll him in the alley when he and his wife were loading up their gear at the end of the night. "I mainly carry for her sake" he said.
He said he hopes people notice it and know he will use it. He has to carry it concealed because of the laws and being in a bar though.
Just goes to show how oblivious even us gun owners can be and how you never know about people. I would have never expected this "hippi-ish" ex-musician to be the type to carry.
