I was just reading through LaVere's thread and it made me think of the couple of times my gun might have "peaked" out from concealed. My most recent one was last week in the mall. I stopped in the Food Court for a slice of great Italian North End pizza....and as I was putting my bulky winter coat back on, you know, struggling into the sleeves, I realized my sweater had ridden up and was propped nicely on the butt of my PM9. (I wear appendix position tucked.) As I nonchalantly pulled my sweater down I scanned the crowd and didn't see any eyes on me. And no one screamed "Gun!" ,thank God, but it did get my attention. To move along. How about you guys? Any stories?

This summer I had reached to an upper shelf in an autoparts store and didn’t realize my t-shirt had rode up onto the butt. It didn’t seem it at first, but obviously that t-shirt was too short and is now in the rag pile. I take the word concealed very seriously, so after looking around for terrified expressions and screams of horror and seeing none, I gave myself a good dope slap.

that another reason why I pocket carry my PM9.... My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

Somehow I don't see most folks in New Hampshire panicking at the sight of a (accidentally not) concealed handgun.NRA BenefactorComment

Jocko, did you ever have a woman ask you if that was a gun in your pocket, or were you just excited to see her?Originally posted by jocko View Post

I hear that.....wasn't nearly as bad as I hear it is now when I lived there....or when I even visited last.Originally posted by medezyner View PostNRA BenefactorComment

Ya, its pretty bad there. The attorney general has deliberately whipped up ridiculous and unnecessary safety device requirements for handguns in order to make it difficult to obtain them. Some manufacturers have refused to spend any R&D dollars to change/modify their design. Hats off to Kahr, they stepped up and developed a MA compliant version of the PM9. Yes, they will gain market share, but probably not enough to offset the pain."Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Clemenza, The Godfather

medezyner,
I am curious as to what safety devices are required by Mass.
Thanks.Comment

I lived in NH. Worked in Mass but consciously chose not to live there even then; commuted. Did manage to maintain a carry permit in both states, though.Originally posted by medezyner View PostNRA BenefactorComment

They all must have: 10 lb trigger pull in double action mode, load indicator, key activated trigger lock. There are other requirements I cant recall. With all the safety features incorporated into a Colt 1911A1 it does not pass the MA certification. That did not sit well with a MA friend who has been longing for a Colt for years. S&W and Para Ord both have MA certified 1911 style pistols. I'm happy to have escaped out of that communist state and living in the "Live Free or Die" state. Now, if only we could export some of the Brady Bunch back into Mass!Originally posted by faulty View Post"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Clemenza, The Godfather

I was at a party over the Thanksgiving weekend and a slightly intoxicated woman hugged me rather inappropriately.Before she could make an issue out of the bulge she felt,I feigned a pained look and said something about a back brace.She bought it,slurring that she would have to get on top.We laughed and that was that.Whew!Ain`t got no business with no horny drunk woman.
When I was younger,yessiree buddy,but not now.In the area in which I now reside,when I`m placed in a group of four or five guys,I`m known as "the smart one".God help me.Comment

Being in GA and GA being a open carry with permit state I don't worry about whoopsies. Just the same I recently bought a couple of shirts without trying them on or in fact looking all that closely at them, I got them for hunting (insulated flannel). They are a bit short tho and I frequently find my handgun poking out from under them. Generally I carry a Kahr K9 in a Bianchi 6 ATB holster clipped in my pocket. Took the wife to the bank and Goodwill yesterday and I found myself fiddgetting with the holster quite a bit.Comment

I used to be jealous of some folks in other states, especially some of those down south and out west that seem to have a lot more sense when it comes to these kind of laws, but after hearing from some of you guys up in the northeast I guess Ohio isn't too bad"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."- George Orwell
