The average joe doesnt know what to look for. The trained cop isnt really the person I am concealing it from.

When still in LEO we did a week long class on how to spot these little "tales" for concealed weapons, its amazing how easy it is to notice when you know what to look for.  The easiest one to spot for us was the ankle holster, people are just not comfortable with ankle holsters, they just walk funny...it was kind of fun to watch.  When I was a cop, always wore my 2" .41 magnum Tauraus in a vest holster...was the most comfortable and showed up the least, people focus on the vest and not the gun beneath the arm.   GOOD FIND!! ;D

A friend and I were standing outside a local restaurant this week after eating dinner. While talking we spotted and older man get out of his car and enter the restaurant with his wife. The man was more observant than most of what was going on. Needless to say by the time he got back in his car, we knew he was packing at the 3:30.
