Non-existent grooming habits.
Dirty ball cap
Muddy boots
Cigarette smoke stench, mixed with filthy clothes that have not been washed in the past 5+ wearings, topped off with the occasional beer belch.
A 6+ inch fixed-blade knife on one side
Finally, the icing on this mudpie is a laughably "concealed" pistol the size of a G21 awkwardly tilted out by his spare tire and pulling the pants down as he struts around a frickin Chuck-E-Cheese in a "nice part of town" full of kids that has a gigantic "No Firearms" sign on the door.

He might be friends with a similarly described ccw'ing idiot I saw at the zoo a few years ago who was loud, drunk, and still drinking more from one of those weird aluminum Bud Light bottles.

Sigh...

Because they're so noticeable and memorable, it takes just one of these guys to leave (or reinforce) a negative impression of Concealed Carry as a whole.

Saw that guy eating breakfast at BoJangles last year. Not the image I'd want non-gun owners to see.

Open carry is legal, although you rarely see anyone doing it here. I did see a guy in Walmart yesterday. Obviously a biker. Wearing black jeans and black long sleeve T-shirt with black leather vest. Long gray hair in a ponytail. But the guy and his clothes were clean. He was actually very neat looking, well groomed and I think overall he was the probably the type of guy who made gun owners look good. I'm sure some would have been put off by his biker gear even if not carrying a gun, but I had no issues with him or his behavior. An N frame S&W in a cross draw holster by the way.
 
Well, it sounded like my girlfriend up to a point -- I won't say which.

If you can't carry and get good and hammered at the Zoo, where CAN an American go? What's next!? I hate all the political correctness...

;)

Well...I didn't know them but saw pics. of a few when the Starbucks 'day of the genius ' BS was going on that resembled that same guy. :rolleyes:
Some of them carried long arms, side arms , knives, swords, chain drive wallets...had everything but forgot to bathe or put in their teeth. :D

Unfortunately, that's a image many will come away with of cc'ers, the vast majority of whom they'll never know are carrying.
 
Well, I fit the first four (minus the beer belch) when I'm afield or home alone.

Going out in public, I do usually clean up a little bit....

Don't (and won't) carry a Glock,

And I believe concealed means concealed....

Still, I'm not totally useless, I can still serve as a bad example....
;)
 
There are folks who don't paint the best example for us, and there are those who really make us look bad.

That said, we've been down this road before, and unless anyone has new insight to add, I don't see this going anywhere productive.
 
Anyone ever read pat McManus if you have the first person i thought of was Rancid Crabtree if you haven't read the books you should its the funniest stuff you will ever read.
 
Well, the sad part is we'll never get a real picture of the other side of the spectrum. This is the real CC'er who may be wearing a suit or a nice business casual outfit or even some nice jeans and a tshirt. However, his concealed weapon is truly concealed so the public doesn't get to draw the picture of the real concealed carry person because they never "see" them. All they ever see is the exception, not the rule.
 
^True.

Yea, probably not a thread that will really go anywhere aside from insulting people, but that sort of showing doesnt further our cause much and its worth tossing out here for a look, if for no other reason than to remind that many people wont notice, but a few will. Some will be pro-gun, some wont be.
Pro-gun will roll their eyes, anti will get all bent and want to crusade.

I'm thinking that out-of-sight-out-of-mind will serve us well in the long run, let the actual statistics stack up in our favor.
 
Oh don't get worked up, that is just a Hick. And that is how a Hick carries concealed.

It really isn't that much different then other strange and ugly parts of nature, yet natural all the same.
