I just want to look good at the buffet.
If I CCW'd my 629, 5.5" barrel in my Bianchi on my right side under my extra tall tank top, would that make my hips look big. I would not want to look too hip heavy while at the local buffet.
Any reasonable advice sure would be helpful for me.

If so, nothing else matters.

Your hips look big because of what you eat. The gun has nothing to do with it. Larry

Is Idaho open carry or concealment only?
If open carry, wear it outside for all the world to see the 2nd Amendment in action and show off that 629. Most folks won't even notice your physique.

Sorry about the thread drift, but I hafta comment on that one. A guy who was driving a Chevy pickup told me this one. If you want to get a nice pickup, get a Chevy. If you want a TRUCK...get a Ford.
Now as to the OP: Nobody at a buffet will notice anything. Somebody else might get the last chicken wing.

A guy I worked with was wide as he was tall. About 400lbs, and not tall. Someone bought him a T-shirt that said "I beat anerexia" and made him wear it at the smorgasboard. Once I was there eating with his brother. He walked in and he said, thats my brother. They aint gonna make any money off him!
He could hide a 29 8 3/8" between his fat rolls. He also had "preacha rolls" on the back of his neck. (Takes one to know one.)

Where in the heck is this thread going? You see what happens? Put a bunch of guys on a forum and suddenly who knows what well talk about. Get it together people! Were all grown up adults here. Oh ya Jim, as for the drift part. Do you mean a truck like this? I look my best when I have my wife beater shirt on with my Daisy Duke shorts, and my logging boots while getting out of this truck. I think my truck would look great with a broken gun rack in the back window too.

I would only want this guy as a friend. I have a feeling he can shoot real good, just like my pop can.

Only in strip malls that are more than 150 yards from a church or school. In Oklahoma, anyway.

Well, we are back. The gun show convinced me my collection is worth 4X what I thought. Didnt buy anything. The free buffet at the virgin river casino was great, but cost us about $250s a plate.

I carry a 5 inch barreled Model 27-2 on my hip. Buffet or no buffet. The manager of the local pizza buffet came and asked me about my gun. She then asked questions about getting her own and told me mine was welcome in her restaurant anytime.
Looks like a few of us have never met a buffet we didn't like.

Sir, from what I have heard, there is nothing you can do that will make you look good at a buffet or any other place.
Do as many others here have done. Accept yourself as you are and do not worry about looking good at a buffet. It just is not going to happen in your case. There is not a solution for some problems.

I don't think that a person carrying a concealed weapon realizes just how well it is concealed. I have always found my self adjusting from time to time when it really don't need it. You will look fine. Just put it on and forget about your appearance. No one will notice.....probably.
Peace,
gordon

I was at Walmart today. Wrangler now makes "expanding waistband" jeans. My dream of IWB carry may yet happen. Meanwhile I'm enjoying a tofu junior salad.

I think you are asking at the wrong place. You need to ask the fashion consultants at Walmart.

The bigger the gun you carry the smaller your butt will look and the bigger the butt,
the bigger the gun you'll need to go along with it. It's a size reference thing!
