Assuming you're using the standard belt clips that go around the outside of the belt, that is the problem with tucking. There are C-Clips offered by most holster manufacturers that just barely grab at top and bottom, and are less visible. The other option is not tucking in. As for this guy, he probably just wanted to feel like a big shot "outing" you. Like you're supposed to be impressed that he's on to you. I'd probably have told him that I'd be sure not to help him if any trouble were to arise. ------------------------------------------------ Charter member of the vast, right-wing conspiracy | |||

Yeah, this is the problem I have. I wonder if the OP and dickweed knew one another prior? Because I PAY ATTENTION to other people. A byproduct of my job. And I don't know, if the belt clips is the only tell, if I would have picked up on it. | |||

Great comments from all. I will look into the above. I had never seen the guy before. The Kydex J loops were the only thing showing according to my wife. My shirt was tucked with no sign of a firearm. | |||

I don't know how many times I left my firearm in the car and my holster on to go into a place where the firearm is not allowed but I didn't want to take the holster off. If someone wanted to get bent out of shape because they saw a loop on my belt that is their business and I wouldn't care. | |||

A good simple answer is "Leave Me Alone" and walk away or turn away. If the person bothers you, then he/she has to be the "verbal" aggressor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democracy is 2 Wolves & a Lamb debating the lunch menu.

I'd say to him, "Shhh...that's the whole point of the illusion", wink, then walk away. The stupid twit of a lamb will momentarily stand there befuddled, wait a second or two, then have his mind blown instantly at the start of his mental meltdown. Problem solved. I've always been one who believes in completely concealing my carry rig, which I realize isn't easy to do in all situations and times. I do casual, untucked attire whenever possible. A cover garment if necessary and the conditions allow (summer heat does make one in a sports coat stand out), or choose an alternative weapon that allows for far more discreet carry if the first two aren't viable options. | |||

I don't need a tuckable holster and don't care for them anyway because parts of them do show. Especially the blue jeans pic.   If it's feasible to wear a cover garment, then there is no tell except possibly a bulge. Each state has it's own definition of "concealed" (some don't). A general definition is as follows: A firearm or dangerous weapon is concealed if it is carried in such a manner as to not be discernible by the ordinary observation of a passerby. There is no requirement that there be absolute invisibility of the firearm or dangerous weapon, merely that it not be ordinarily discernible. A firearm or dangerous weapon is considered concealed if it is not secured, and is worn under clothing or carried in a bundle that is held or carried by the individual, or transported in a vehicle under the individual's control or direction and available to the individual, including beneath the seat or in a glove compartment. | |||

There are many disturbed gun haters in the world. Having loops on one's belt is not wrong or exposing anything. I have similar belt loops for key rings that go into my pockets. Having loops on the belt is concealed as long as one cannot see the firearm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democracy is 2 Wolves & a Lamb debating the lunch menu.

Answers to give to such idiots include those already mentioned plus "Why are you checking out my waistline" "Sorry but I am not interested in you" "Leave me alone" "You are bothering/harassing me, please leave me alone" "I do not want to talk to you, leave me alone" Although not recommended, such idiots deserve "Drop Dead" Happy Shooting ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democracy is 2 Wolves & a Lamb debating the lunch menu.

I live in an open carry state (AZ), and still maintain my CCW permit. But I prefer not to "advertise". I carry OWB and always wear an overshirt (loose, untucked) when carrying in the Valley. It's hot here some months, and for that time I have a Coolibar shirt (similar to Columbia sun shirts feature-wise). It is SPF rated, and is very thin and light and presents no problem in the heat. I leave it open in the front for easy access. Sometimes the wind will catch it when outside and reveal my holster, but that is not an issue in an open carry state. When inside a store, the holster and mag pouches are totally concealed. It even passes the IDPA concealment test (raise your arms to straight out at shoulder height. If anything is visible then, you fail the IDPA concealment test). In the winter I wear a denim overshirt, a bit heavier. | |||

I never could find a tuckable solution which I felt was discreet enough. Cover garments are not an option at work at least. You might want to try something like smart carry, or downsize firearm to pocket/ankle carry size. cc | |||

Just untuck your shirt. I've never liked tucked options and have 'made' a number of people, although I never say a word. The CROSSBREED CROSSES are a dead giveaway, BTW. Dude had everything else nailed to a T, even being a skinny guy that was all I could see. Or at least make an attempt to have the clips match the belt - ie, black clips, black belt, etc. | |||

I don't think anyone would pick out the loop in the first pic. And in the second pic, if the guy had a black belt instead of light brown, the clips would be vastly less noticeable. If I really felt the need to carry IWB tucked, I'd probably invest in a velcro lined belt and V-clips.

As mentioned above more than once, as CCW license-holders we are trained to de-escalate and be non-confrontational. Also to be aware of avoiding crazy people who may confront and escalate. But on the other hand, allowing someone to feel entitled to invade our privacy and get in our faces for no justifiable reason without saying something if the situation calls for it is not wrong if done correctly. In this case I feel the person should have been told to mind his own business. Simple, direct, and giving a message that what he did was unacceptable and that maybe in the future he could consider keeping his big mouth shut. ____________ Μολὼν Λαβέ 01 03 04 14 16 18 | |||
