Conservative Scalawag links to a guide written for the NYPD on [how to spot a concealed pistol]*.  Take a look. I have to admit, about keeping the hand close to the shirt, and not swinging the other arm, I do that. I have to keep the shirt from blowing open.  I do that even when I’m not carrying, just out of habit. The rest of the things they mention can be solved by using a quality holster.  Studies have shown that bad guys almost universally don’t carry in holsters; just stuffing it in their waistband.  I don’t get this. Why don’t criminals use a holster?

They’re stupid?
actually… no. I mean, they ARE stupid, but that’s not the answer…
It’s easier in an emergency to just throw away the gun, instead of trying to remove a holster from the belt (especially with the cheapo holsters commonly available in stores: I wouldn’t have any problems with my Versamax, other than not wanting to loose the money invested)…
Strings is onto it; it takes a considerable amount of time to unwind one my Galco holsters from the belt; why burden yourself with the holster when you’re probably not going to be keeping the gun anyway?
Once again you linking a post of mine has resulted in a large response on my blog. As of today,I’ve tallied close to 200 hits from your linke. So,once again thanks. I did get a hit from the NYPD this morning.
As for as the purpose of the post,its a reminder to be careful while carring,not all police see holders of CCW,CFL,or in my case GFL as friends. In fact the oppisite, so be safe and be discreet.
