Do you do any of these?

[TheDude]

Found this to be interesting.

 

[alxjmrk]

wow, i do all of these and didnt really notice it.

 

[ATM]

No.

 

[Ramen]

No.

Well played, sir. Well played.

 

[haldir]

I definitely do some of those. I don't know about that quick adjustment. I periodically pull my whole belt, holster, pistol upwards to keep them from sliding down (not having an arse does not help) which I know makes it pretty obvious if a trained eye was watching.

 

[TheDude]

Yeah, I saw some of this and am definately more protective with my carry side arm.

 

[Tryin']

Guilty of the occasional reposition of the holster. . . but I think (hope) thats all.

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

Yes but I open/casual conceal carry most places and unless I'm pushing the grocery cart I keep my arm at my side with my forearm touching my holster.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I reposition as necessary... I TRY to do it when I'm not near anyone. And if someone's nearby, I turn my weak side to them so they don't see my grip as I readjust my holster n' stuff.

I'm sure that someone trained to look might notice, but as I'm sure we can all imagine, most folks aren't paying attenion one iota. Therefore, it doesn't bother me to have a "tell" or two.

Oh also you're little poster is racist. They have a black person with a gun running.

I sometimes check to make sure the gun is not riding up in the holster...I don't know why??? It never has. I use an inside the pants holster....but never put it inside my waist band....I put it between the waistband and my belt...I find this more comfortable.

i do the "approach with non-gun side" deal and usually always am in a weaver stance when talking to someone even casually. i like to keep that gun side shaded just a bit. and when walking on the street, mall or wherever i always walk close to the wall with gun side closest to the wall. just little things i have taught myself to do. strange, i know. however, more importantly my LEO background has taught me to look for concealed weapons so sometimes i do look for little "tells" to see if someone is carrying if i suspect. call me crazy but i still look at license plate stickers at red lights to see whos expired. i guess you can take the dog out of the fight but not the fight out of the dog. haha

 

[Ashkelon]

Have been guilty of doing all of them. In certain circumstances, have intentionally indicated a tell for mental comfort.

Just the other morning walking the dogs about 5:00 a.m. in dark and ran across intersection with coat unzipped and right hand pressed against hip just for the visual since there was a POS Delta 88 with big spinner rims spending far too much time at a downtown Indianapolis intersection without moving.
And I doubt they were admiring my blood hound or coon hound.

Maybe this is how Steven "Lawman" Seagal knows what he knows?

 

[Yeah]

I do them but luckily we live in a free state where it doesn't matter.

Here is a condensed version of the Jaegerman graphic....she does a lot of these for the NYT.

 

[Cemetery-man]

When pocket carrying my LCP - then NO.
When OWB with my 9mm I catch myself doing the quick adjustment check to make sure all is well.

With both types of carry I seem to be pulling my pants up a lot but I do that all the time even when not carrying a handgun so I consider that normal and not revealing behavior for me.

To test the 'running from rain' theory, I set up a big sprinkler out on the sidewalk of a busy street. While I wasn't able to determine if anyone was carrying a gun, an elderly lady did beat the snot out of me with her cane

i adjust every now and again and rest my hand on it when im walking (looks like im holding my side as if it were hurting.)

 

[Neo46121]

I sometimes catch myself resting my hand or arm on my carry pistol through my shirt or jacket when I'm leaning against a table or ledge. Other than that I try not to have an other tells
