[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 1830664, member: 16136"] Does anyone else think that we are too critical of ourselves for "printing"? Or maybe, classifying certain things as printing that really we shouldn't be worried about? For example I have seen some posts where a slight "bump" can be seen so people consider that a failure and write that holster off as no good. To me printing is when someone bends over you can clearly make out the handle of a gun, or any other time that the handle of a gun is VERY noticeable. A slight change in profile or slight bump or small crease in a shirt to me is practically expected, granted I am 5'11" and about 160 lbs soaking wet. I also have large hands so for me carrying a bigger gun that is more controllable is my choice over carrying smaller and not having ANY evidence I may be packing heat. What is your opinion? I am not someone who carries everywhere I am legally able though I keep telling myself I am going to. So, for me, what I do is put the gun on when the wife isn't looking and then spend the day with her per usual. In the evening I take my gun off and ask her "Could you tell I had my gun today?" Your significant others are pretty in-tune with what your normal behaviors are (well, maybe not in some relationships) so if she cant tell then I consider it a success. What do you guys think, are people who excercise their CC rights typically overcritical of their carry gear and the appearance of what might be considered a firearm? Some of the nimrods out there are too busy with their own lives to notice even an AK folder slung over a shoulder. [/QUOTE]
