    Folks let me clarify; (BTW no pa brandishing law, cool) the guy was touching, exposing & trigger finger brushing his gun......I wasn't nervous,,,,just found him to appear seemingly suspicious or drunk stupid!!! No clue what the heck he was doing,,,gun was holstered to a preattached belt holster...............honestly, I adjust my thing to a lot,,,I mean firearm
    Guy certainly got lots of unfavourable attention.

    If I carry my GP100 I always feel my pants are going to end up around my ankles!

    Most of the time I travel light. LCP in Fobus Paddle Holster. About 3/4 lb. fully loaded.

    Most of us have figured out that either your belt sucks or gun it too heavy for it, and stopped pulling up our pants by the new handle after carrying for a while. Ive got it down to forearm and elbow adjusting if need be, and that works fine.

    Staring at the cash register grabbing a gun? Not the greatest idea. Some people around here would be flapping jackets like they just saw some guy with a rifle!

    what you need are trousers that fit properly and possibly a waist. if you have a waist and properly fitted trousers you can clip a cinderblock to your pocket and youll stay dressed.

    alas i no longer have a waist.

    This may be a reach, but the guy may have wanted the attention which is why he kept messing with it and looking around to see if people noticed. Other than that, I had just started carrying concealed about a year ago and was having a very difficult time with the combination of gun weight/size, holster, and belt. After a lot of time and money, I feel I've perfected my setup...finally. Therefore, my gun only gets fondled when I want to.
    I would rather die in a shootout than get assassinated in a "gun free zone"

    Ya, especially if he's a noob to carrying, and under age 25. it was kinda like, "Hey folks, look at me; I have a gun and a license to carry it. Aren't I cool? I bet y'all think I have a huge dick now too." He probably tells bimbos at night clubs that he's a spy.

    Hey, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.
