So, I'm walking along talking to my boss, who is a cool cat and into guns, but I'm not sure he knows I carry at work. We're just toodling along and all of a sudden I crack my right elbow (funny bone) right into the cocked hammer of my 1911 which was riding at about 3:30. Hurt like hell and made a loud crack noise like I hit my elbow on the table. I couldn't help but grab my elbow and grimace, and I KNOW he heard it.
So, how the hell am I supposed to explain that?

I'm sure he already has (forgot about it), and I'm also sure I found it funnier than he did. It wasn't so much the noise, but the "funny bone" reaction that was odd. Here I am walking along, not close to anything I could bump into, and I suddenly jump like somebody smacked me in the elbow with a semi-sharp heavy metal object. I think the best explanation would have been "my tourettes is acting up!"
It is a new carry piece for me, and the bottom line is I think I need to adjust my carry position. I've cracked my elbow on it a couple times in the last few days. I guess I'll try a little farther back on the belt... |

When I used to work in an attorney's office, I was using the copier and one of the lawyers somewhat jokingly actually said "Is that your GUN on your hip?" I pulled out my financial calculator and said "nope, just this calculator." |
