  • I got made

    I was in Cabela's yesterday looking for ironically stuff for the wife, and got made as LE at the gun counter, and specifically SO (which is where I'm trying to go) . Ok, not hired yet, but working on that, I'm just a little puzzled as to how I got made. There was nothing in the conversation, my daughter didn't spout something off that could have been heard, but yet I was asked about it. I wasn't printing, (besides around these parts and in there especially, no one cares). Just blows my little mind. Any of our more learned members have any thoughts?

      Unless it was something obvious like wearing a cap or protective vest with the word Sheriff written across it, your best bet would have been to ask the person who made you, "how did you know I was law enforcement?" If you had asked, you would know instead of just assembling a list of guesses.

            Maybe that active-duty Marine look... clean shaven, neat hair, business-looking demeanor... exuding confidence... etc... your "aura"!

                Ah yes, the Musashi angle.
                Thanks folks, just a funny kind of encounter, and no I don't advertise any affiliation.

                  I would guess you were made 16 3/4 years prior to then!
                  Judging by today's left wing, looks like Senator Joe McCarthy was right after all.

                    Concealed carriers often telgraph the fact without being aware they do so. Shifting and fiddling with belts, cover garments, feeling for the gun, sags here, bumps there, and so on. Someones one doesn't have to see the gun to know one is present.

                    Here's a link to a good article on spotting guns.

                      No that's definitely NOT it..He doesn't fiddle, shifting, touch it or anything while he's out in public...It's like a third hand or arm to him. It's just there and he thinks nothing about it. He's so used to carrying...

                      I was talking to a friend (who is a LEOW) and the wife of the HR person for the SO that jlottmc is trying to get into and she said it was the aura, the way they carry themselves (military or LE) and she said that she thinks when they turn LE that they become K-9 and smell each other. The other LEO's on here will understand...

                          That's it. That has to be it. Who'd a thought Bates boots were cop shoes?

                            I have been carryi for over 45 years, never made been places I probably shouldn't with it to. always in my front pocket. For years it was my J frame and the last 5+ years my PM9 in a desantis. I am so used to it being there I never fiddle in that area. I just forget it even there. It is not a 2# brick in my front pocket, it drags nuttin down. I think more than anythig once one finds the rig he is most comfortable with and knows how to dress for it the fiddlin part will dissappear. I always felt one who just started to carry might be a fiddler, but not a person who has done it for years.being I have a ccw permit, it also does not bother me if I was made either, but I also think we think people are just lookin at us because we carry . THEY AREN'T. I never look at any person around me to try to see if he is carrying or not. If the person is moving u can't even see fast enough. I do not mind at all if women look in that area...
