Now that I live in a State where a lot of folks carry, I catch myself noticing who is carrying. I did the same thing in Illinois also, but as it was rare there until a year or so ago Now I notice people fairly often...Every trip to WallyWorld makes me shake my head..

Some people do not have a clue how to conceal a firearm on their person....If you are a little chunky (like me) a tight tee shirt over your firearm makes it obvious that you are carrying....A mid size auto or revolver in your pocket looks like a gun in your pocket..If your shirt is too short to cover the bottom of your holster, then it is not concealed......

Anyone else catch themselves doing this ?????

    Most folks are so self absorbed while shopping that they wouldn't see a bull in a china shop much less noticing who's packing heat under a tee shirt but to answer your question, yes I do and I see many packers in the summer if you know what to look for.

    In Tennessee, we have carry permits as opposed to CC permits and 99.9% carry concealed . Some men do better than others. I've never seen a woman's weapon "printing" so I assume most women carry in their purse.

    Firearm imprinting, barrels showing when people bend over or raise their arms, is the reason Oklahoma went to an open carry law.

    Used to to plant myself outside Wally's while waiting for swmbo to 'shop', and do the same... they removed a shade tree, so I just drop her off, go home and wait on a phone call now. Average used to be about 1 in 3 a couple years ago.

    I spot many while in checkout lines... Many women aren't security conscious while rummaging around in their purses. Most older ladies here (fl) carry.
