If you are on line in a 7-11 or any other store, and the would be robbers see you standing on line wearing a gun, you might get shot in the head because they see you as a threat.
You are correct... if a person is carrying concealed the bad guy doesn't know you are carrying and you look just like all the other possible victims wandering around who are defenseless because they aren't carrying.. and to the bad guy... all of those possible victims look like easy pickings to rob/rape/or shoot in the head because they all look like they are unarmed. I don't feel you should be hiding your gun in fear of being noticed.I carry concealed to protect myself and my family.
I always carry concealed, even if I have the option of open carry. IF you carry concealed, the bad guys don't know you are carrying.

I don't feel you should be advertising it.
I agree... but I think many folks don't understand that when it comes to rights the word "responsibility" does NOT mean allowing the opinions of other people to restrict or control those rights.Let's face it, every time you walk out the door you take a risk. We all know it. I carry to protect myself and the ones I love along with those who can't protect themselves. We not only have the "Right" to carry, we have the "Responsibility" to do so. Our country is in the state it is now because many have taken to "Rights" and forgotten "Responsibility." Just my two cents.
The following isn't intended as anything but information. It's not a slam against concealed carry nor is it anything negative about you or your post CharlesMorrison....I carry concealed so no one can see it!
It's my little secret!

Is concealed carry a "secret"?
A list of things I look for when playing the "who's carrying concealed" game.
-Pulling down a shirt or jacket.
-Odd or inappropriate clothing for conditions. Vests/jackets in hot weather for example.
Bikers with their vests comes to mind on this one.
-Fanny packs when pants have plenty of pockets.
Fanny packs in general are just wrong.
-Fanny packs that obviously have something heavy in them.
-One arm kept close to where a holster probably would be. This arm doesn't swing freely with walking motions. Shoulder holsters generally have this "tell" more often than waist holsters because shoulder holsters tend to flop around a bit.
-Hitching up trousers often. There is a reason those pants keep falling down. Could be suspenders are needed or it could be something heavy on the belt or in the pocket keeps dragging them down.
Detroit, this has nothing to do with a possible weapon. It is a fashion statement here, and not just in the city itself.
-Exceptionally long pant legs with one leg where the material doesn't "flow" as well as the other when walking. Indication of a possible ankle holster restricting the pant leg's motion.
-Elbow checking gun.
-Belt at an angle. Possible weight pulling it down.
-Sagging pants or jacket pockets.
See above regarding the fashion statement.
-Reluctance to remove a jacket when inside a building.
-One arm furtively holding a shirt from riding up when reaching for something.
-Shoulder going up before exiting a car as the gun is either reholstered, checked for positioning, or clothing adjusted.
-Keeping one side of the body at a slight angle away from the person in front of them.
-A hand goes into a bulky pocket, and stays there.
-Hugging with arms under the other person's arms forcing their arms away from bumping a gun.
-A dull "thud" if something is bumped into.
That would be all the hardware from my accident that is below the surface.
Let me emphasize that these "tells" are not proof positive that someone is carrying a gun. But they are hints that many concealed carriers project to anyone interested enough to look for them.
Just a little humor that you being from the MI area will understand.
Secrets of CC=Bad guy looking at people for long periods of time for possible clue of carrying.
Secrets of OC=None. Shoot him/her first. Unsubstantiated lies. You must be one of those honest law abiding citizens.
Sorry, just my opinion.
