You'd be surprised. I'm a fairly thin guy (ok, I drank too much beer this winter and didn't exercise enough so not as thin as I used to be) and I can easily conceal a full size CZ 75. It's all a matter of having the right clothing and the right holster. I do think guys may have a little bit of an advantage there because our shoulders tend to be wider than our hips, which helps a shirt drape over the gun.
When I go running I wear this holster with an airweight S&W .38 Special and even with running shorts and a t-shirt it's invisible.

Yeah..I liked the concealed carry your cash vs open carry to the bank example far better than the puppy bank robber scenario...I mean what kind of bank robbers rob a bank with no getaway car and a cache of weapons :laugh:
MissMichella:
Beer padding was necessary for this winter. So. Cold.
I carry a blocky cocky Glock 9mm...which I have no idea where I would put to conceal. I also can't pull off baggy clothing...without looking pretty ghetto. Maybe in the hair? Hm...
Thanks, Hank! I'll have to check it out.
unfy, I just started open carrying, though I've had my gun for awhile...it's been kind of neat. Most people don't even notice, but the few that do have been really nice and ask some pretty great questions. I'm all about public awareness for issues. It's the lobbyist coming out!

I have seen too many articles of individuals carrying open and ultimately robbed of their firearm. A firearm openly displayed on your person is similar to having several hundred dollars paper clipped to your pants. Someone is going to notice and plan to convert the property. Seems to defeat a purpose.

The head shot and you are dead, happened recently, different circumstances, but the gist was the same. The MIT police officer, killed by the Boston Bombers. That is where I got the factoids from, to make a point. If someone would have the balls to walk up to a police officer, and do that, running away from a public bombing, anything is possible.
