The Stylish Man's Guide to Concealed Carry
« on: September 27, 2012, 08:23:48 PM »
There were a number of items in the article we could nitpick. On the bright side though, I thought this was another great example of the "mainstreaming" of concealed carry.

Well, they also referred to a grip as a handle, said "high and low" caliber instead of large and small, and made a number of other mistakes that anyone who visits a gun forum would catch.

But they also published an article on a very popular, non-gun oriented Internet site, and talked about how to dress for concealed carry the same way they would talk about how to dress for a job interview. I call that a win.

Doesn't always mean much.  I know former marines that say "clip".

That was my point.  Kind of a joke.
