Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am rapidly approaching my 21st birthday, and will be obtaining a Concealed weapons license. I was recently reading the thread containing tips about people's advice for life, and I have a few questions....
One of the big tips I've gotten out of that thread is to move stuff around your body. That is to say, one must "dress around the gun." However, if I were to follow all the advice in that thread...I'm out of places to put my stuff. I'd like to inquire as to how people carry their gear when carrying a gun.
In my everyday dress, I typically wear jeans and a t-shirt or collared shirt. Of late, I've started dressing in a t-shirt covered by an undone western shirt (snaps instead of buttons.)
On a daily basis, I carry my wallet in my right rear, knife clipped to right front, cellphone in right front, keys in left front. That is the stuff that goes with me no matter what. However, I also usually carry a Surefire in a holster on my left hip and a can of OC in a holster on my right hip. This works very well with the button-down shirt, but I get some odd looks without it, particularly around campus.
My question is this: Where does one actually locate all this stuff to be discrete while carrying a gun as well? If I put a gun on my right hip, that neccessitates a relocation or abandonment of the OC spray, plus the addition of a reload somewhere on my body.
I'm 6 feet tall and 140 pounds, so I'm very slender. ANYTHING attached to me can be very easy to see, unless I'm very careful about how I have it attached.
What do you folks do or recommend?
