The Top 10 ways you give yourself away while carrying a gun
Today: A Dave Letterman style Top 10 ways you are giving yourself away as a gun carrier.
We all do most of these and we all can work on it. Some of these you are doing without knowing it.
The important part about carrying your gun is have your gun. The best way to have it concealed is just to have it concealed. The more you worry about it, the more you will have a tell.
Here is the Top 10 List:
#10 – You always seem to forget the bottom button on your shirt
#9 – That “clunking” sound you make every time you sit down
#8 – You have bulges everywhere except where they should be
#7 – That right side sage
#6 – Always pulling up your pants, like you have something heavy in there
#5 – Holding 15 shopping bags in your left hand and nothing in your right
#4 – You keep touching yourself for no apparent reason
#3 – After you touch yourself, you pull down your shirt
#2 – That come and take it shirt and bumper sticker you point out to everyone
#1 – You left the butt of your gun sticking out
Some of them are just funny, some of them are good tactics, but all of them show you carry a gun.
Some of them you may need to change. Some of them, you may want to keep and not worry about. Some of them you will want to stop doing.
