| Realtor chick hugged the SO then turned to me. I read somewhere to go low with your arms so they go high. It worked. |

Quoted:
Don't squeeze to hard that's my colostomy bag. That's Great I have been hugged and so far NO ONE has ever noticed, during the winter months I carry OWB at three o'clock using a untucked shirt or jacket to cover. But If I am ever outed by a hug will use the Colostomy Bag idea. Bet they never ask again. |

Quoted:
Wait, are we supposed to be ashamed that we carry a handgun? Huh, I guess I've been doing it all wrong. 
Colostomy bag? For real?  One day my boss called me to see if I could come help her move a desk. I agreed to come over after the football game I was watching was over. Happened to be Open Carrying, and she was shocked I was blatantly carrying a gun. I just said, it's my day off, you want help with the desk or not? Didn't have to acknowledge that at work I keep it concealed, and she didn't press the issue. If she'd asked, I would have been honest that I'd been carrying a gun at work every day since she hired me. We have no employee handbook and nothing was ever said about weapons, so I operate under a DADT policy. |

Quoted:
I don't try and hug any different way just so people don't know I'm carrying. Almost like you are ashamed or embarrassed that you carry. Huh? He just wants OPSEC and maybe in a given situation he just doesn't want the hassle of explaining concealed carry to a clueless person. |

Or not mind that they find out/notice but sometimes they're not clued in enough to not blurt out loud that you're carrying when you're in public. I had to tell my boss to stop referring to me as a gun guy to people I didn't know. He thought it was cool that I knew a fair amount about guns but I had to tell him to stop it as I wanted a modicum of opsec. Oh, just to be clear I don't hug my boss, just discussing opsec.

My favorite "getting made" moment was getting a hug from my 7yo nephew. He comes up and hugs me at about waist height, does the screwed face look as he realizes that there is something behind my back.
"Is that a G-U-N?" he whispers. The kid did a damn good job being discrete and I'm still proud of him! |

I got made on a first date she went low and I had no where to go and she had her arms around me before I knew it. She got a whole hand full of Glock and I got the puzzled what is that look. She released the hug and did not say a word but with a look at me ok this is happening nod and never said another thing about it the whole night. She even later on in the night hit herself on the slide.
The best is when an older lady gives you a hug, asks in front of everyone and aloud what you have on your back. I always reply it is my musical instrument. |
| I've had a few older ladies hug me at church. One of them caught me off guard and hugged me low (5" Kimber in OWB at 3-4 o'clock) but she didn't say anything and kept a poker face. Several men in my church know that I CC. A county deputy in my church CC's while he's playing bass guitar on stage. He knows that I CC, but the vast majority don't have a clue. We have several policemen that attend our church, I've came out and asked them if they CC'd off duty; a few do, but most don't. I'm amazed at that. |

when they move in for the hug sneeze in their face!
But for real It happens to me all the time, luckily its people that know me and shrug it off. I am not sure what I would do if it was a random person I wasn't comfortable with them knowing I had a gun, probably really would sneeze in their face..... |

When I see a hug coming I extend my hand to shake. A woman is supposed to initiate the handshake, so I'm breaking the rule there, but it works. They can accept the shake, or skewer themselves on an outstretched arm.
I'm in construction, so I don't have many guys trying to hug me. My wife is always hugging me. She always feels for my gun and goes "pew, pew, pew". This is extremely annoying. |

I had an older lady bump me in the side during an wedding, she stood there for a second looking at me and ask me:
"Are you expecting trouble, young man?" I said: "No ma'am, if I was expecting trouble I would have brought my rifle". She smiled and carried on.... |

I usually carry appendix so unless they're getting super close it's not really a problem.
One time I had a friend get discovered by a girl who hugged him when we were leaving and he told her it was a portable answering machine. When she said huh?, he said when trouble calls, it answers. Then did the Horatio Caine sunglasses move and walked out. I rost. |

Usually keep my right hand down about waist level and lead with my left (1911 @ 3:30)...steers their left hand over my arm to shoulder area.
I could be wrong but...seems my brothers girlfriend, who knows, try's to bust me...innocently, unknown to others,with nothing said of course Sometimes with a room full of people ...just fishing I guess. Mostly just family and friends and I'm sure none would be shocked...maybe a couple would be offended but..... they'd have to get over it.
