So today I'm in my local book emporium enjoying a cup of coffee, a gun rag or two and a pile of novels that I'm going to buy next to me when in walk two gentlemen. Both were in their thirties and both are dressed in what I like to call urban "tactical". One guy is wearing khaki gargo pants with a t-shirt and a large, black fanny pack, the other one is wearing gargo shorts, a t-shirt and a photographer looking vest.
They amble over to the coffee counter and get their orders and me being the curious guy that I am keep a careful eye on them over the cover of the current issue of Guns and Ammo (it's concealed BTW inside a copy of MAXIM
)Yep the guy with the vest is printing, behind the hip right side and the guy with the fanny pack hasn't lined up the velcro correctly. I on the other hand am reminded that I have a polo shirt on top of my g19 and start to wonder, hey am I printing as well? (good thing I was sitting in an armchair) BTW, I was wearing jeans and a dark polo.
Wouldn't you know it as I walk out, there they are as well. All of us holding our purchases in our left hands with car keys as well. We looked at each other, the soundtrack of "For a Few Dollars More" started playing in the background and with a casual nod to each other strolled on our way to our respective vehicles keeping a careful eye on where the other ones were.
Funny thing though, I don't think anyone else noticed anything, especially the cop sitting at the counter enjoying his coffee and cake.
Moral of this long winded tale is; People who own and carry a gun tend to look out for the signs in others, the rest remain blissfully obvious. Still, condition yellow is a good mindset to live in. Oh and I hope I never wear cargo pants with a fanny pack.
