Nonsense. It is quite easy to accidently flash a concealed gun in a store. It has not happened to me yet but IWB with an untucked shirt (living in a hot state) then it is not all that hard. Any gun easily accessable easy not that hard to show by accident.

Pardon me for being direct.

You are fool and give a bad name to law abiding citizens and provide fuel for the Statists to ban all handguns.

Pardon me for being direct myself, but accidents do happen.

No matter how careful you are in concealing your weapon it is simply impossible to ensure that you will completely conceal in all circumstances and at all times.

What if you trip and fall, causing your jacket to fling up and accidentally revealing the weapon? It doesn't mean you "improperly" concealed or that you are "giving a bad name" to gun owners.

I'll openly grant you that a careful CC licensee should not let it happen often and should take steps to ensure that it doesn't happen often. But it is unreasonable to fault him for the one time that somebody else catches a passing glimpse of the gun under his shirt. And it certainly doesn't merit calling the cops on him and thereby leading to his execution in broad daylight.

Pardon me Uri but that is a ridiculous position...I saw an old man get out of a car with a weapon exposed because the sweater he was wearing creeped up on the small of his back, saw it again in the store and let him know it was visible and to correct it.....no harm no foul.

That’s a genuine opinion you got there mister. Having read the subthread, however, you are the one that seems to have the thinnest grasp on how the real world works regarding this single issue.

I also have a friend that has his suits custom tailored to go around his concealed pistol. If he makes a reach for something it can be possible to see a glimpse of the weapon. He doesn’t keep it in his g-string.

Uri tells Talon: You are fool and give a bad name to law abiding citizens and provide fuel for the Statists to ban all handguns.

Seems to me the fool is the one who subscribes to "zero tolerance" in a standard impossible to meet -- there is always a danger, even in the most scrupulous carrier, that a concealed weapon will be revealed or suspected. By advocating zero tolerance of any concealed carry accidentally revealed, you provide fuel for the Statists to ban all handguns because you can bet your ass those Statists understand the impossiblity of meeting your standard, and put you on their side.

Grow up.
I have permits in multiple states and carry nearly every day in a very warm state. I was just telling you the facts. If you don't believe me then I doubt you have carried IWB with an untucked shirt and tried to shop for anything bulky, oversized, or on a high or low shelf at the store.
