I wear shorts, a white T, and a printed button up shirt. Usually a leather IWB holster with a polymer pistol for the sweaty weather carry.
Carry in the Summer?

I have a couple of IWB holsters (Crossbreed, Stealthgear) for my 1911s, but for the last few summers, I haven't used them much. I mostly use the same BladeTech OWB kydex holster, and just wear loose t-shirts over it.

G42 in pocket works well.With current bullet selection I dont feel a .380 leaves me under gunned.In a pocket holster of course.

Always carried the same pistol regardless of season. I carry IWB & don't tuck shirts

Ya think so? Add a little rubber hose to it and it looks like a medical device case......

My year around EDC is a S&W Shield 9X19mm. KISS applies!
I agree.
Any pouch or fanny pack large enough to hold a gun is assumed to be holding a gun.
Untucked shirt doesn't get a 2nd look; "sneaky pete" pouch or fanny pack screams gun, especially on a adult male in regular clothes (not a bathing suit).

All you need is a Shoot Me First Vest 
The fanny pack may be a safer bet

And the crackhead who busts you in the back of the head and takes your gun out of your Sneaky Pete, he's going to do what he wants to do too.

LCP Max in Desantis pocket holster. Disappears in most shorts. I also use a NAA .22lr around house and dog walks.

Most folks are so self-absorbed that they don't pay attention to "alternative" carry...a very wise man once reminded me that you could burst into flames in front of 99% of the citizenry and they would keep yakking away and never even notice. Heck, nearly everyone under 50 has their face buried in a smart phone during waking hours.
NO ONE except those of us who post here think any sort of waist pack screams gun.....and probably less than half of current LEO's would think twice. I say.... use what works for you.

I agree that the average man on the street probably doesn't look at a fanny pack and think gun. Then again, I'm not all that worried about that guy. The vast majority of the citizenry also wouldn't consider bashing me over the head and taking my concealed handgun.
I'm more worried about someone who is looking for a free gun and has taken maybe 2 minutes to "research" different carry methods.
A quick internet search on pistol handgun carry methods will list the common types and provide pictures.

No doubt that's a valid point. I'm probably counting on a perp being more interested in Tick Toc rather than doing his/her "homework".

But how many would look at a fanny pack and think "There's the guy's car keys, wallet and credit cards and all I've got to do is snatch it off his waist." ?
This is like a flashing beacon to my eyes: (Can't imagine rolling with that in a NPE, like work)
My wife sometimes wears a fanny pack when walking to the beach; its Desantis made for a gun and there is a Kahr P9 in it.
Neighbor we are friends with was walking her dog, wearing a fanny pack and I asked, "Are you carrying"? She said no, she has a Glock 43 but since we are in a "good area"
she was not carrying.Of course I would never ask a stranger if they were carrying in a fanny pack, I just assume they are.

If nothing else, sooner or later some tech geek is going to ask you what it is.

But you could use the same argument against a woman carrying a purse. Come to think of it maybe they shouldn't for the very same argument you make. I dunno. But your reasoning is very sound....."so goes the waist pack...so goes the handgun". I guess we can both agree...anyone who walks into a feed store with a waist pack on is going to be "made".
