What's that bump?

arortmeier:
I've have received my CCW within the last year and am getting comfortable with carrying. Well, maybe not comfortable but I feel that I have my permit and train to carry so I should do so. I now feel relatively naked when I'm not carrying so I suppose that is some semblance of comfortable (in a situationally aware sort of way).

My question to you folks that have been carrying for a while - have you ever been asked by anyone (store worker, waitress, random person) what that bump/lump/etc. is under your shirt? And how did you or would you respond?

i think most people who are new or just starting CC-ing feel the same way.  its natural.  just make sure you are CC-ing in the legal places and you'll get over it in time.  i remember wearing an empty holster around the house/driving/etc to break it in and to see what it will feel like when carrying.  i then starting carrying around the house until i figured out how it felt and if my pants would stay up.  (use a good belt.)  finally, using a bathroom while carrying especially in a public place, is a new experience.

if someone asks, its none of their business, unless they are a police officer, etc.  but i'm no lawyer, YMMV.

HuskerXDM:
I've never been asked.  If someone notices, it could be a phone holster...

Greybeard:
I use a Sneaky Pete holster. The only people who have ever commented are folks who also carry and know what it is. I have never been challenged by anyone. I wear it everywhere, empty in places where concealed carry is not permitted, and absolutely nobody has ever challenged me, including law enforcement.

bullit:
I respond with a question back like "Why are you so fat?"
