I keep reading about CC-only states where they have more or less strict "no-printing" rules (meaning that your firearm cannot give ANY evidence it is there such as a bulge, etc. ) What if an old lady slips and fallsand you bend to helpher andthe butt of your weapon "prints"? While I do NOT (as yall know) bash LEOs, there are some who just look for an excuse...
Here in Virginia, if I stuff a paddle holster into my waistband and wear a Hay-Waiian shirt over it, and a breeze lifts the @#$%rt and exposes the weapon, all it means is that I am temporarily OCing. Big deal. In Florida I am given to understand that circumstance could land you in very hot water.
Maybe this "no printing" BS is meant to keep gun-totin' males from exhibiting some kinda Miami Vice bravado. But blow-holes whowould goswaggering around with their firearms like the gun makes them King Crap of Poop Mountain only feel that way when they are the only ones going armed. When being armed is nothing "special", this behavior is much less attractive; since they are no different than anybody else then. And of course, they are much less of a threat, and quite a bit more easily neutralized.
The really odd thing is that being worried about a slight bulge in one's clothing can mark a CCer almost as fast as an OCer. Here in Virginia, we don't have to worry about it. Call it "casual carry" ; and that's the way it ought to be, nationwide.
Edit: The boldes censored part read "Shirt"! As in upper-body outer menswear! WTF?
