Open message anyone that notices a CCW

Just say it's your colostomy bag.

This is always my planned response if I get a dbag anti-2A type asking me questions. Can't wait to see the reaction on their face when I indignantly ask 'Would you like to see my feces?'

If I see someone printing real bad, I might (very discreetly) say something like "hi, your second amendment may be showing" but likely I wouldn't say anything for printing, only if it somehow became partially exposed unknowingly to the owner.

I will get right on banning myself... Please enlighten me on how exactly I broke the law?

LOL, I think just a strongly worded warning to yourself should be sufficient.

As for the topic of the original rant I can completely understand. I don't know how many times I have gone to the local grocery store or been in a restaurant with my family and had someone come up and LOUDLY say "hey you own the gun shop! so what gun do you have on you right now?". It makes me very uncomfortable and makes my family uncomfortable. I can't be really rude because it makes my shop look bad. I really wish people would think before they talk sometimes.

As for the printing. I see it sometimes around here. Most of the time I ignore it. If it's truly showing I normally just quietly say "shirt" as I walk by.

Question: If you saw someone printing and it was obvious there was no holster, would you let authorities know?

I'm thinking I would as what person with a permit would just stick their gun in their waistband?

No, it's none of my business. Also, how can you be sure they aren't using a clip or a trigger guard?

I'm so glad I live in a state where it doesn't matter. Print, don't print, whatever. It's getting warmer - I might not put my jacket back on to pump some gas. If someone calls the cops the most likely outcome is nothing, not even a response. Most people, even here in the liberal haven of King County, don't seem to care.

No big deal. Dont worry about it. You did the right thing by apologizing. I hope the Calguns mods arent too hard on you. They can be very strict. Im on a 4 year ban from OT because I said the wrong thing to the wrong person. Hell I didnt even break the law like you did. Mods please go easy on Ranger. His apology seems sincere.

FUD.

[ChaoSS]

A loudmouth with a cgn shirt on? Did you go off on fighter pilot?

[Dan_Eastvale]

So many people carry here that few people pay attention. Even if they did see something no one would be bothered. Althogh it's more rare that someone open carries even that doesn't usually raise very many eyebrows and certainly never any comments.... at least from what I've experienced....

I would think that in California the only ones that would notice printing would be other ccw holders. The average joe may not even be looking for it or wouldn't know what it was if he did see it.

lol i won a pissing contest with some unnamed narcissist and got booted out of the OT, only person that got butt hurt was his ego. funny thing is i'm a much bigger ahole little napoleons now.

as to the OP, i try to be super friendly to anyone i see in CA that has anything to do with firearms. it is a very small portion of the state and i want to make sure they feel welcomed. I could understand the tard, he may have just been so shocked to see another gun guy that he blew his stack and forgot you guys were behind enemy lines. i'm sure it was just a brain fart and he felt dumb as hell later once he thought about it.

as for being called on carrying, no one cares here... well unless i'm in little CA (aka scottsdale)

Your joking right?

In Colorado a couple of years ago I had some woman call the cops on me at a Subway while I was trying to enjoy my meatball sub. Apparently she could "see" my concealed G19. Apparently the way she made it sound I was waving the gun around between bites of my sandwhich. The officers checked me out, then had a quiet word with the lady who called the police about how CCW and OPEN carry were legal and to be a bit more informed before calling the police on a lawful citizen.
I responded in the most reasonable way possible, by tucking in my shirt and going from concealed to open carry.

I notice people all the time carrying and rarely say anything about it. Its NOMDB unless the gun leaves the holster in a less than friendly manner. Then its pay-per-view

[morfeeis]

He's not. a lot of anti gun folks post on here..

[Mopar Guy]

My 2 cents. If someone who does not have a badge wants to talk about my firearm which I apparently did a bad job of concealing, I will kill the conversation and make my way out of the area as soon as possible. It won't matter what shirt they are wearing. Last thing I would want is to draw any attention in public to my CCW weapon. It can only lead to problems. Most likely I would say something in the vein, I should conceal better, thanks for the info...yet gotta go...don't want to have the individual turn on you either. Once discovered, leave...that can make having a CCW a PITA..the CCW is no longer concealed.

What kind of problems?

Unless your gun is actually uncovered, it is still concealed.

I thought printing was NOT showing, & the latter is the issue, not the former.

That being said, it' sounds like Ranger's stocker (encounter) if as he says, was maybe a little off base.

In which case Ranger you did fine.
