You have a bulge in your pants.

I got unintentionally(at least I'm hoping it was unintentionally) molested going into a concert because the guy at the entrance thought I was carrying(I wasn't). When I asked him if he intended to take me out to dinner, he got a real uncomfortable look on his face, he was half my size and easily intimidated looking sort so I got a good laugh out of his reaction.

I eat at a diner where I and few patrons are regularly known to conceal carry. We all sit at the counter, I pocket carry and sometimes use a shoulder holster. The other guys mostly IWB carry but one guy carrys a holster on the outside of his hip that his shirt goes over. Of course that hasn't stopped him from flashing it a few times to few people. He's a nice old guy, a vietnam vet, and harmless, so most people just tend to laugh it off and he only flashes it to people he knows(we all are on a first name basis with the waitresses and owner).

If someone is showing, and I mean obviously showing I'll say something. Most people just assume for no reason that I'm a cop anyways(big chest and arms, and buzzed head), so the few times I've said anything they've thanked me. Last one was a young guy at Books-A-Million, he sat down and I could see the grip of the gun sticking out from shirt and I let him know. He at first gave me a funny look, and then I had to go "you're glock is sticking out there buddy." And he rushed to conceal it better. If someone is obviously showing then say something, but if you can't tell what type of gun it is then maybe not saying anything is better.

I would not want to be asked. It's nobody's business but my own. If asked, I don't know what I would say, but I would be very annoyed. I don't even want to be asked whether I am carrying by people that know I carry. No good can come of it.

where i live

i live in idaho, here, nobody cares, when outside of city limits, i carry my cz either open or concealed. i live outside of city limits, so that helps, and the only time i really want to carry my pistol is when i go hunting (cats in that area, it's hard to wheel around a .243 to kill a cat in time(mountain lion)) and there is no law that i know of in idaho stating that somebody under the age of 18 can or cant carry a pistol concealed or unconcealed outside of city limits. as long as my dad says its okay.
although, if it is that noticable, i would carry it in a different position. a shoulder rig works great for me in either open or cc.
as i said, nobody really cares out here, doesn't really matter who you are, how old (well, if you are old enough reasonably), or anything like that.
reminds me of that charly daniels song
"what this world needs is a few more rednecks"
that's idaho.

I was at a gun shop a few years back and was looking at a rack of really nice Winchester model 12's and L.C. Smith twice barrels when one of the employes walks up and says "Hey, you're sticking out". refering to my pistol. I just said "Yeah, ain't they sexy!" and never even looked at him. I let a few minutes go by and then let him know I was was a police officer, he got a good laugh out of it.

Don't ask and mind your own business is my rule.
