First, I'd like to say that I live in a gun friendly state, and as such I carry everyday in defense of my life, liberty, and property. Work is no exception, and even though we have typical business casual dress (slacks, button down shirts) my comp-tac holster makes carrying very comortable and discret with basically no prining. The clips are the only give away. I work in a relativly small office, about 25 employees. A couple of weeks ago a new employee just came on with us. End of his first week he noticed my C clips on my belt from my comp-tac CTAC holster. He seemed to be a nosey guy as he asked,
"What are those clips on your belt there?"
I simply just replied "Belt clips"
"For what?"
"For attaching a cell phone, pda, ipod, etc."
"Oh."
Anyways, I thought that was the end of it. The excuse has always worked in the past and ended discusison, most people don't even notice it as my rig is a very discreet setup. Only the ends of the clips where they grab the belt are visible. In addition, I usually tuck my shirt in so that I have a fold of cloth that covers the top portion of the clip.
A week later, on the same day we were having a conversation with a couple other people and during a lull in the conversation the new guy goes,
"I still want to know what those clips are for!"
I couldn't beleive that he was
A.) still checking me out there
B.) asking about it after I already "told him" what it was.
In a joking manner I inquire as to why he is checking out my pelvic area! He states he just wants to know, but I walked away and the discussion ended. He is now away on a week of company training, but I wonder how much of a threat this guy is. I don't want him drawing other, mind their own business types, into looking at my rig. I don't like him attracting attention about it. I don't know whether to try to avoid him, to keep lying to him, or to bring him aside one day (maybe when out for a few drinks with him) and just level with him?
Currently, though, no one in the offices knows I carry and I would like it to stay that way. What they don't know can't effect them. I don't want to cause a panic, or ripples in the water.
Any advice and info would be appreciated. Thank you.
