Trust me. I conceal very well.Not really.
How would you know? Yes I was outed. Yes it was an accident. I have also carried with these guys many times and never been outed before. It happens. I will take precautions to make sure it does not happen again. Don't get smart with me because of something that happens at least once to almost every permit holder in their lifetime.
Well, I don't know if what other people may have done is the criterion for evaluating your performance as described in the OP.
This thread is about how you handled the situation.
You tripped the unfortunate and uncomfortable (for all present, including you, evidently) series of events by being deficient in your responsibility to conceal a firearm. Everything flows from that failure. Comparing it to what happens to "every permit holder" out there is getting off track. In the first place, you are pretty inexperienced at carrying. In the second, you don't really know what has happened to "every permit holder" out there. I have never "outed" my carry weapon in my lifetime. I'm sure many other CCWers never "outed" theirs either.
BTW, interesting use of the passive voice in your thread title:
My carry weapon was outed tonight
Most people would have chosen a more accurate wording, such as:
I outed my carry weapon tonight
This second title clearly describes the responsibility for the action. The gun, after all, does not "out" itself....
