Okay, so I'm not a LEO. Presuming that you 'think' you have concealed your pistol on your person, what happens if someone (another citizen) spots your carry 1911, especially if you're in a *very* public place.

I'd carry more often, however, I *am* afraid of having joe shmoe or jane shmoe cry out that "HEY - he has a gun!" phrase.

Now in some places this could induce panic or a riot - in which, correct me if I'm wrong, then this could bring a hefty $$$ fine on my part.

(Okay, so I've been to McDonald's where several feds hang out. They are in suits wearing their SIG's on a pancake holster - very proudly I might add. No one says a thing. So, is this possibly an over-reaction on my part?)

Just for the record, whenever I carry my 1911, I make sure it's damn secure and very well hidden.

Is this just a fear that we all have accept when we carry?

Thanks

Pretty difficult to say that because a person has a fanny pack/vest/etc, that it conceals a gun.

I travel a lot, and I see the above everywhere, on men, women, kids, old, young and in between.

I don't think an LEO would stand a chance in court of using only a fanny pack as probable cause for a search.

In my 50 years of carry, I do not know that my gun has ever been seen while carrying concealed. GLV
