"Pearl clutching"???

Anything to do with the ZZ Top song?

Or for being a scammer?

He had it in a plastic holster

So what?

...that appeared to be a Level 1 type security. Nothing more than a thumb break.

Level 2 is active retention....like a thumb break. You have no idea if the holster itself has an internal active retention system moving it to Level III. But, please go on.

He was a pretty heavy individual

Fat folk can’t carry firearms?

...and his butt was about 1 foot away from where people were walking back & forth.

He was carrying on his right side.

As others were coming and going, it was obvious to all that he was carrying. More than a couple of times, children would see that and make a comment that I'm quite sure he could hear easily enough.

And yet,

I was able to observe this guy for at least 30 min. He never even gave me the impression that he was aware of it, as if he had forgotten all about it.

How can somebody forget there’s a gun on their hip if every 10 minutes (a couple=2; more than a couple=3+) kids were calling it out and he could hear them? Even if he had forgotten, the rug rats kept reminding him.

If you live in an open carry state, that is great. As I've said often enough,

In 25 posts?

It was his body language and behavior. It was almost as if he was wearing it for shock value. That's the impression I got.

so, your contention is that this guy wore a gun for shock value and then forgot he was wearing the gun?

Most any adult with half a brain could have relieved him of his handgun easily enough

That is pure, unsubstantiated opinion based on your faulty perceptions of the situation. What if he was an off-duty cop baiting morons?

I assume scammer. He replied to my WTB ad clearly trying to scam. Is this a new tactic, I wonder. Come on the forum and get a few posts so you look normal. Then try to scam? I had 2 people, or maybe the same person, respond to my WTB ad. Just a few posts, regular gun stuff. Then respond with a very obvious scam.

LOL, that made my day.
