Members Bronson Posted July 18, 2009 Members Report Posted July 18, 2009 the guys with the guns get shot first in a SHTF scenario Oh no! I guess I better stop open carrying. Bronson Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted July 18, 2009 Members Report Posted July 18, 2009 Oh no! I guess I better stop open carrying.Bronson I too am concerned about open carry. I don't want to surprise or startle anybody who may suddenly notice that I am carrying a gun. In order to avoid this awkward situation I have adopted the policy of waving my gun in the air and yelling out "I have a gun" when ever I enter a social setting like a restaurant, or bank, so as not to subject anyone who is uncomfortable around firearms to the kind personal shock that they might experience if they noticed the pistol on their own. It seems to work incredibly well, so far. You wouldn't believe how polite people are once you try to accommodate them. I have gotten all kinds of free meals and no matter how many with drawls I make at the bank my account never seems to get lower. A couple the other day even gave me some jewelry and a watch for no apparent reason. Isn't it great how tolerant people can be when you try and meet them half way.... Just kidding - I figured you guys might enjoy my warped sense of humor. 'Carry on. Quote

Members Jared Posted July 20, 2009 Members Report Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for the tip Jeff.. I wondered how to let folks know I was carrying in a friendly manner.. sounds like they are very receptive. Quote
Members LarryDonaldson Posted July 21, 2009 Members Report Posted July 21, 2009 I finished my first pocket holster a few weeks ago. I wanted a right hip pocket version rough side out for a Ruger LCP. I laid out the pattern, cut, sewed and then wet formed. What I wanted to get was one side perfectly flat and only bone one side. Not knowing how much I could work the leather I was not quite able to get one side perfectly flat. It works just not what I was hoping to get. Any tricks on how to achieve this? Quote

Members jt1 Posted July 22, 2009 Members Report Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Monica, I have been pocket carrying for many years, this is the best pocket holster I have found. As you can see it has the type of sticky material you are referring to. It is made my Robert Mika, a really fine gentleman who I am sure would be willing to share with you if you give him a call, he is here: http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/ Edited July 22, 2009 by jt1 Quote As Always jt
