What do you like to keep things concealed? Other than a coat, that is.

[The Big D]

I carry pursuant to LEOSA.

Be safe.

Is concealed carry legal in that area?

 

[Road Rat]

I recently bought a few Eotac shirts; they are short sleeved, hang a little long; have extra hems for weight; have velcro for the bottom button and on the side slits. I wear them over a tucked-in t-shirt and only hook the bottom.

Works for me. If SportsmansGuide has them on sale again I'll buy more.

With a IWB holster appendix position.

Loose dark colored or patterned (untucked) T shirts

Hawaiian shirts untucked. (Hawaiian shirts look silly tucked in your pants)

Sweatshirts (cooler weather)

 

[BlackSky]

An untucked shirt does me just fine 12 months a year. If I'm somewhere that I have to tuck the shirt in I'll wear the Glock in a Crossbreed IWB that allows me to tuck.

 

[Goldstar225]

With an untucked shirt, a good, highriding, owb pancake style holster. With my Crossbreed Supertuck, anytime, anywhere with a tucked in shirt.

 

[USAF385]

Hmm... no issues here. I regularly carry IWB appendix with only a t-shirt. Today I wore a white t-shirt and cargo shorts and carried my Glock 27. I carry anything from as small as an LCP to as big as a 3" .44 and get away with it.

Hawaiian shirts untucked. (Hawaiian shirts look silly tucked in your pants)

Hawaiian shirts look silly in any condition, especially on a man.

Unless you're Magnum PI. He looked cool.

Unless you're Magnum PI. He looked cool.

It's hard NOT to look cool in a Ferrari 308GTS.

 

[CatnPhx]

Well, living in Phoenix (it's 116 degrees today) it really doesn't matter what you look like when you are out and about. Staying cool is the only thing people care about. I'm 48 with ugly legs and a gut but I wear bagging shorts and a baggy t-shirt or some kinda of Hawaiian kind of shirt. It's ugly but effective in summer (which is May - Oct).

I use IWB holsters (leather/kydex combo) with a good belt.

 

[oldman45]

Just the opposite down here...only "Yankee tourist" wear tucked in shirts in this 90 degree 90% humidity weather. The other dead give away is black socks worn with sandals.

Kidding aside, pack and wear whatever you feel comfortable with.

You left out: standing in line to pay $5.00 to see alligators in a pool and telling everyone how they do things back home.<g>

 

[pharmer]

Untucked shirt, one size too big. People always ask "Have you lost weight?" Joe

 

[russp1]

One size larger than needed T shirt when dressed down, sport or golf shirt when dressed a little neater; all untucked with an OWB holster for my 442. When I have to clean up my act (very rare) and tuck in the shirt, I throw on a sport coat.

 

[GF]

I have a Kel-Tec .32 with a belt clip attached ( Kel-Tec CNC - P-32 Accessories, P-3AT Accessories - Belt Clip (Fits P-32 or P-3AT) )

that I carry in my back pocket with a bandanna hankerchief. Looks like I have a knife with a belt clip in my pocket.

And before anyone says anything about a .32....... it beats a stern word in a fight.

GF

 

[ladder13]

My legs are ugly and best kept covered. I refuse to walk around looking like a Yankee tourist wearing a shirt outside the short pants.

Anyone with ugly legs should keep em' covered, Yankee or Johnnie.

 

[sipowicz]

I don't dress around my gun...my gun dresses around me...meaning, if I need to dress up, the 442 is on my ankle...causal clothes, any untucked shirt works with that or my P2000...even a t-shirt.

 

[Springfeildkid585]

an unbuttoned ss button-up over a vertical shoulder rig does the job, when it's cool a jacket and when it's cold a coat. In formal setteing suit jaket. Iwb is also handy on the really hot days

 

[Black_Sheep]

During the summer it's IWB or pocket carry (Model 49)

 

[ASA335]

I tend to carry using a shoulder holster under my outer wear shirt (T-shirt under that to keep the holster/gun away from direct contact with my skin) almost year round, but especially so in warmer weather; gives me a fair amount of freedom in choosing shirts – tucked or un-tucked, jacket or no jacket – as long as they're a loose fit. I find that patterns on the shirts do break some possible "printing" if not wearing a jacket. Absent that, either an IWB or high ride OWB or pocket holster will fill the bill. I'm not personally fond of ankle holsters, but that's just me.

I've carried the above way during our short Oregon summers, in Arizona and in Panama also. It has always worked out for me.

Oh, and I don't mind "Hawaiian" shirts if the weather is hot; doesn't seem to raise any extra "fashion" attention even here in Oregon. I choose less garish design patterns, they still help to break up any "printing" and they are less likely to stand out. I sometimes also like "Guayabera" style shirts for hot and humid summers, but find that IWB holsters a bit more appropriate with them (since they tend to be made of really light weight cloth, they tend to allow shoulder holsters and harness to "Print" easier).

 

[illgtncarb]

OK, people are gonna laugh, but I've been carrying for a number of years now down here in the heat and have tried a zillion things, but the one I keep going back to when all else fails and I can't abide anything but a pair of shorts and a tee is crotch carry. Think about it...all but the perviest of society have been bred to not look at another's crotch, and a suitably sized gun (mine is a PPK) tucked into one of those cup holding jock straps--sans cup, of course--disappears but is quick on the draw if need be. Took a little getting used to, I admit, and there is always the nagging image of an unwanted discharge (no snickers, please) leaving me, ahem, a little light, but it does hide well. And if a lady does take a peek and happens to get the wrong idea...well, I can live with that.
