Concealed carriers can be the worst people.

If you have a problem with someone looking at your pretty girl friend than you should trade her for one that isn't so pretty. You can't be 100% certain that this person actually had a weapon concealed on them or if they did they were legally permitted to carry it concealed. I wonder if you would be so quick to "eye-fornicate" a couple of guys coming out of a bar if you weren't carrying concealed. It's a good idea to avoid troubles and altercations regardless if you are armed or not. It's a great idea to stay out of bars.

Okay, clearly I missed some information that made people wonder why I pissed off a guy that was wearing tighter jeans, had a obvious compact auto in his pocket, and I clearly need to clean up how I glanced quickly at a guy that that stared at my girlfriend for about 20 seconds, also doing it when we were walking away.

I am not a cave man. I am aware of the male/male competition and that smoking girls get looked at. Yet we are civilized are we not?

So cliff notes for those that think I did something wrong that made someone grab a gun in their pocket.

A. Utah.
B. 2 40-50 year old men. I am 25. My girlfriend of 5 years is 24.
C. i glanced at him after they walked past. at this point he should have had his back to us, but instead was being such a jerk he was staring right back body facing OUR BACKS
D. for about a 25 yards away I could make out a compact auto in his tighter jeans.
E. I understand pocket carry is a tactical advantage. I carry mine this way. But am I threatening when I walking into a bar with my girlfriend?
F. No, I was not carrying, so no, he did not assume I was carrying too.
G. When I said he grabbed his gun, I mean to say he stuck his hand into the pocket that clearly had the gun, grabbed the clear handle of that gun, and held it there like he was going to draw it on me.

I am totally taken aback from some responses.

2. they attacked me because of the title and assumed I shouldn't be angry that I clearly saw a gun grab his gun while stopping and looking at me.

I said I was unarmed. So his gripping a pistol is not justified. A legally defined 'reasonable person' should not be threatened of life and limb by a young guy with 3 girls near him...WHO WAS UNARMED. he was armed. it was obvious. Though not obvious, I was not.

It might not have occurred to you, but those two guys in their 40's might have been plainclothes police officers, and maybe they were checking you out for different reasons than you thought.
You or your "lady" might resemble someone that they were looking for.

Conclusion- If you give people the stink eye, you should expect to get your teeth knocked out!

Alright, I'll chime in. More than likely, this was a drunk low-life not legally allowed to carry. I would say his courage came from the bottle. This is why I do not frequent bars.

I've only carried for two years now, and I've never noticed anyone carrying.

Pile on! ROTFL! I guess the OP is getting a bit of a shellacking here. You know, the poster probably did read the dude right. He was probably packin' and who's to say whether it was legal or not without more details. The fact is some people do walk around like bad asses because they have a gun. The law of averages says there are gonna be jerks in every segment of society. But you take it on a case-by-case basis. To label concealed carriers, who statistically have proven to be some of the most responsible citizens (and friendliest by the way) "the worst people" is just ignorant and reckless. I have met a cop or two who were certifiable jerks. Should I go around saying that cops are all jerks? Um, no. Relax a bit. I'm not making excuses for the other guy but pick your fights more wisely.
