For those of you that conceal carry on the jobs -- what kind of indoor winter upper garment do you sport that won't print when bending over, reaching up etc.?

During summer with longer T-Shirt outside the waste-band, the fabric seems to flow easy enough.
Other than t-shirt wrapping behind the weapon, or butt of mag printing during high degree bending, it's been undetectable.


All my company cold weather sweatshirts are somewhat tight as I don't want to snag on brackets, racks, door jambs, etc.
I'm looking into new style of winter (indoor) garment and figured I'd ask you folks for what works for you.

This will bring up a touche subject.

I can see having a weapon in the vehicle, I do.
But to carry 'IN' the customer's home? That just seems rude and inconsiderate to me. You are a guest in their home, whether you are doing work or not.

Ideally for discreet carry, they have .380 and other smaller caliber handguns, that are very slim & small. At close ranges, how much stopping power do you really need when dealing with humans. I like the Ruger LCP.

You act like he's carrying uranium around in his pockets. As long as he doesn't pull the gun out and start shooting customers, they won't know the difference

We do work for a few clients who have housekeepers who are packing all day long because they either been home invaded or robbed in the driveway. Another couple clients are always packing, whether at home or on the job. Seems to be the reality of life in the big shitty.
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's AV trouble, a man alone.

Since I live in a country that doesn't allow you to carry a gun wherever you want I know my view on this is skewed, but I would certainly be offended if I were to move to the US and find out that a contractor came into my house with a gun without my knowledge. I would certainly not be hiring that company again.

Now if the contractor I hired informed me that some of their employees had the proper permits to allow them to carry a gun prior to the work starting it would be different, however I would most likely request that they leave it within their vehicle or at home. I am certainly not anti gun, but they have their purpose and to carry one onto a job site isn't one.

Missing the point; if you are going to carry a firearm into a customer's home, you damn sure had better clear it with them 1st. I could only imagine what would happen if a customer didn't know and then saw you had one on you - and they were NOT ok with it. Pretty sure you wouldn't be working on that job anymore.

Has anyone done this? Informed a customer that they were carrying and the customer asked you to secure the weapon in the vehicle while working on their home?
Sorry but for me, earlier in life when all the kids were younger and at home, I would absolutely ask the contractor to do just that. Not comfortable with someone I don't know, walking around my house with a loaded weapon. Not going to happen. With just me in the house, I wouldn't care as much. Or if they were working outside on something.

Why? What do you think the guy is going to do, whip out the gun and start shooting? What difference do kids make? Do you think he's going to say "hey kids, wanna play with my loaded gun?"

If I'm carrying, I'm not discussing it with anyone.

Do you watch the news these days? There are some seriously disturbed people running around.
I am not a very trusting person at all, I have always been like that even when I was a kid. So no, unless I know the person I do not trust them at all - that's just me. Even if I know a person pretty well, I still only have trust so far.

Back to the gun topic. Considering how strongly some feel about guns, I still can't believe some of you take firearms into a customer's home without informing them. Seems like a recipe for disaster if found out, with certain clients.
I don't have to inform them because I would never even consider doing such a thing. Like i said, it just seems rude & inconsiderate to me.

Do you also CCW into church? Your child's school? Since those last 2 are more or less public places, I can actually see less of an issue with those. But I personally still don't do it.

My perspective.

I would fire the individual who carried a gun into my house who I had hired to do work for me.

Not a topic for debate for me.

I was hoping to stay on topic, but am not surprised at the turn this is taking.

I do not disclose if I carry or not. Not anyone's business.
If/when I carry, a weapon is secure on my person, so it doesn't matter if there are kids around or even owner's stand. I carry for my own protection, not to be cool or flashy.

I also don't disclose my religious beliefs or my political stand. It has no affect on the way I perform a job.
As for the dangerous, deadly weapon topic -- guns don't go off by themselves and in proper holster there is no way for it to accidentally discharge. If you hired me to work in your house, I am far more dangerous with a kitchen knife or the screwdriver in the electrical panel (light switch, etc.) than I would be with a gun.

Get into a deadly confrontation with a dirtbag that wants to kill you for what you might have in the back of your van and then tell me how that 4-10 minute police response works out for you.
I am trained, proficient user that carries a weapon for protection, no different than your business, house or car insurance. Rather have it and never need it than need it and not have it.
