I was Outed today for the first time...

[I_AM_LEGEND]

imagine making people pay money to breath oxygen... capitalism.

Nice choice in a gun too, I had a H&K USPc in .45, just sold it today for $525 so I can get a Glock 17. Just one too many .45's and no 9mm.

You should carry IWB at the 12:00 position. Then when someone asks "what's that", well you know where I'm going with this.

LOL, you missed a chance to debate the 9 VS 45, LOL good story though.

I'll just tell 'em, "It's my colostomy bag. Wanna see it?"

Lol You guys are killing me this morning

I was speechless , it was my first outing. I mentioned I had a permit and I pulled it out, and she is like, "its ok, I have one too, I carry a 9mm".

Pulled what out?!? I hope you don't mean your CPL. Why in the heck would you show a barmaid your permit, it's none of her dang business. If you are going to impress a barmaid or some bimbo, get an ATM receipt that shows a great big bank balance (I know, you might have to dig through the trash and try to find one!), and put your phone number on the back of that. Don't try to impress her with a CPL, though... :banghead:

I have a story, but not directly about me being "outed" or "made."

When I first got my CHL I started wearing shirts untucked. Regular shirts, not T-shirts. SWMBO complained that I looked like a slob, etc. I told her that I had to conceal, and that to do so you need a loose-fitting shirt.

OK, so a couple of weeks passed and we happened to be near a gun shop, which naturally forced me to open its door and walk in. I was busy looking at some ammo, and the kids at the stuffed bears, bobcats, etc., when SWMBO walks up to me and quietly says "I guess how you wear your shirt is pretty normal - no one in here has a tucked shirt, and given that it's a gun shop, I suppose that everyone here is carrying."

Never had another problem.

The first O2 bar I ever tried out was the cockpit of a USAF fighter plane. It does ease a hangover, but I never imagined it would go commercial. Hey, no smokin' y'all!

Yeah, if your going to suffer a Concealment FAIL, it may as well be in furtherance of a vibrating massage. Nice job.

Saying you were outed sounds like you were doing something weird.

Immediately after I received my ccp, my two boys and I were getting our hairs cut. As we were leaving one of my sons yells, "don't forget your gun daddy". The strange thing was that not a single person in the place gave it a thought and while I was paying I was trying to explain it to the lady and her employee and neither one seemed to really give a crap. Needless to say the boys and I had a bit of a talk afterwards and there hasn't been an issue since.


I'm not sure about oxygen bars. I used to roadrace motorcycles when I lived in CA and I had the luck of having a pretty bad crash at Infineon (Sear's Point then) Raceway coming in to turn 11. I was knocked out for a bit and when I came around the paramedics kept putting the o2 mask on me and it just kept making me dizzy/loopy. I would feel better whenever I took it off, but they kept putting it back on me. It was so bad that while I had the mask on I couldn't remember where I was other than "turn 11"...I was essentially A&O x 0 with the O2 on. So I think I'll pass on the O2 bars.

If I want to experience altered states of being while whiffing the scent of strawberries, I'll shove a starburst up my nose while I'm pounding my head into a wall after talking to the ex.:banghead:

Navy LT: At first I started to post something stating that I didn't really see an issue with it provided that the other person brings it up (wanting to see the item) and he could show the item discretely. But then I don't know what kind of security the place may have (a boss in the backroom who is doing paperwork and witness' through cctv a person holding a gun with his employee standing there may look like a robbery).

From the topic of the post i thought you were going to say you got kicked out of a place for carrying.

where is this state that has an oxygen bar.... dont think I ever saw one even in NJ.

But hey, 20 years ago no one thought you would pay for bottled water.
