How low profile are you when you CC?

[tv1217]

Jeans and a T-shirt most of the time. That T-shirt might have a Remington or Hornady logo on it, but at most that might tip people off that I own guns, not that I carry one.

Yep - summertime is cargo shorts, trail shoes and an untucked button down shirt, either hawaiian or hiker style. (Greyman)

Or cargo shorts, trail shoes and a cool INDIANA ZOMBIE REPSONSE TEAM T-shirt or the like, tucked or untucked, and tacticool hat with the occasional OC. Given the car that I have, when people see me get out, they pretty well assume...

(Note: when people see my IZRT shirt AND the badge/car/gun..I get some awesome looks!)



Says the man with the epic beard that screams "HIPPIE!" and should be dripping patchouli...

I actually wear patchouli but I prefer nag champa! I was hoping the epic beard thing was more metal than hippy looking. Daaaaang it, I gotta adjust my wardrobe accordingly.

I "advertise" PRS Guitars, Fender, Bass Northwest, and other musical "propaganda" on a regular basis (or, basses ). Though, I just got a "Group Therapy" target t-shirt that may make its public appearance sometime soon. Generally, the only gun theme item I wear is a "MossyOak" hat.

When I CC, most people can't tell. Mostly because I am not a large person in stature (5'10" and a 150lbs soaking wet), and I find that Small t-shirts are too small, and mediums are a little larger, so for comfort, I wear medium and most people can't even tell. I was designated driving for some friends when one of the guys turned 21, and I did have a gentleman come up to me and ask whether I had the Ruger LCP or the Taurus TCP in my back pocket. My answer was questioning him as to why he was looking at my butt. That's really the only time that someone has made mention of their acknowledgement to my carrying. Now that its warmer, the cargo shorts make that almost impossible to tell. As to the OP's questions

Do you think about that when you dress? Not at all. I carry after I dress, I don't dress to carry. If I can't make it work, I OC or pack the LCP if its a wedding or something where an OC might not be the most appropriate.

Do you care or not? Not in the least.

Have you ever spotted someone who made you think he/she was armed by the way he/she dressed? I assume everyone is armed. Period. In 2004, 79% of the adult population, not including IN commuters who are eligible, in the state of IN had a LTCH. Give another 10% to factor in felons, and others who carry illegally, and you have an almost 90% chance that anyone you walk by on the street or in the supermarket is carrying.

Do you have a reference for this?

what is cc???

Man! I don't know if you were joking or not, but I literally laughed out loud when I read that!!

Anyway, I wear a tucked in t-shirt, owb holster, and a baseball jersey (Braves btw) to conceal my partial open carry. <-- Huh? I dont even know what I just said.

The way I dress, I don't think anybody has noticed when I CC...but I have seen small children look, point and ask mommy why is the man wearing a single black leather glove with the index finger cut off.

More tie-dye, Robb, more tie-dye! For the metal look, you have to get some more black t-shirts and leather wristbands. A piercing or two wouldn't hurt either...

I would like to hear you opinion on that.
People who OC are welcome to give their opinion too.

Hawaiian shirts always make me look; seriously.

Thanks

I wear jeans and wrangler work pants from the Wal Marts when I'm off from work. I wear a tie and sport coat for work, and I'm also not allowed to carry on the job, so I haven't sunk the money into a nice looking leather gunbelt. Whenever I carry my untucked shirt does a good job of covering up my Wilderness Instructor belt, G30 and spare mag.
