Unusual concealment methods?

[markallen]

I took the guts out of a Walkman cassette player. My American derringer fit perfectly inside. Pop the cover latch, and the derringer would fall right into my hand.

On occasion I've carried something to and from work inside my lunch cooler when attire prevented CCWing normally.

where do you work where the attire would prevent you from CCWing? the only thing I can think of is adult movies.

L'Amour used the read-from-the-book line in quite a few of his books, almost as often as "lit a shuck."

Unusual carry: tried the crown of a cowboy hat. Not particularly comfy or practical.

HA, no. I should have said attire of my own choosing. Business casual, so most of the time I can wear a tuckable or simply hide it in the extra material easily. We have causal Fridays, but t-shirts must still be tucked and they print too easily. So on Fridays I carry in the lunchbox and lock it in my desk.

Heavy duty paper sack from the local Ace Hardware store. Hardware stores and liquor stores have the best bags.

What about wearing a fanny pack but carrying the gun somewhere else?

Thermos Bottle

I worked a dangerous job driving nights, where we were forbidden to carry weapons, but had to carry lunch. Uh, huh. So, I got a short, wide-mouth plastic thermos bottle, the kind you use for soup or stew. These unscrew so that you can remove the glass liner. Some careful carving of plastic, and the insertion of a carved plastic empty cream cheeze tub, made a perfect fit for a Beretta 21A. A quick spin made the lid fly off, revealing easy grab access of the gun. The thermos sat on the dashboard every night, hidden in plain sight.....................elsullo

Took my NAA .22, drilled and tapped the butt of the grip, JB Welded in a small eye bolt and hung it off my key-chain I always clipped to my strong-side belt loop. Wore it openly in Louisiana before it became shall-issue. Never had anyone say a word about it. The key-chain made a great grip extension and you could fire it hanging off the loop in a pinch!

Concealed is concealed, right?

I've been known to carry a BUG (17hmr NAA black widow) in a pouch velcro'd to the inside of a ball cap. Serves two funcgtions. 1. Sap Cap, and 2 quick "New York Reload." 'Nuff said.

Guy I used to work for used a 5-gallon bucket as his briefcase. He kept his gun in the bottom of it.

Wow, some methods are way crazy. You are definitely more interesting than I am on carrying....

Neck Carry

I'm conventional in carrying (S&W M60 and NAA Mini), but have heard of more than one woman carrying her NAA Mini Revolver, on a neck holster, between the cups of her brassiere...whatever works!

Back in the late 80's, for about 3 months, I used a empty .32S&W cartridge box (with about a 1/3 of the length cut off) in my right front pocket to carry a Davis .38 derringer. It looked just like a Pager in my pocket.

My carry gun was a M19 S&W 2 1/2 in, in a $18.99 "Belly Band", the .38 was my "BUG". I spent $2.75 per shirt (4 shirts) to have the lower buttons sewn onto the outside of the shirt, and snaps sewn onto the backside of the buttons. The shirts "looked" normal, but you could put your hand about bellybutton height, grab the shirt and pull, and the grip of the S&W was right there.

We really didn't have any money then, and I just had to find a way to "make do" with what I had.

Ever see Videodrome?

No, please elaborate.

.cheese. offered:

7 eleven soda cup. Wasn't my idea. Read it here on THR. Put some cloth in the bottom and a Smith 642 fit perfectly.

Nope. Now you gotta carry your cups through the magnetometers.

Bible covers; I keep remembering some Louis L'Amour novel where the hero said "I'm gonna read you from the book..." before a gunfight.

I remember that line, but don't recall which novel or character. It may have been Conagher, or one of the Sacketts.

Robert Mitchum at the end of the movie (I believe) 'Five Card Stud'. But he didn't get away with it because he was holding his "bible" upside down.
