Enough with crapping on the vest.
And here we go again.
1. The Classic Concealed Carry Fishing Vest
The classic concealed carry vest is a classic staple of the old-school concealed carriers. I can’t tell you how many guys I have met over the years at the range who religiously wear their carry vest all the time. Back in the early 2000s, when carrying concealed was relatively new, it was a great way to conceal a medium to large handgun on your body. The concealed carry fishing vest was really a victim of its own success. So many people used them early on that it became the trademark look for someone concealing a firearm.

I guess I keep repeating till I go facial purple that non-gun people simply do not understand or figure out that a carry vest indicates somebody carrying concealed. That you as a gun person figure it out is irrelevant unless you are an asshole that for shit and giggles are going to call the cops on a fellow gun owner.
And I can repeat myself once again saying I have been using a vest since I started carrying over 2 decades ago without being challenged about it other than asking me if I am going fishing (answer always was “Yes!”) and I usually spent half my hours away from home in rabidly anti-gun Broward County.
But I got the the best way to describe how people truly do not care or notice the carry vest when I moved to Tennessee and saw Open Carry folks mingling around the public and nobody noticed! Somehow the non-gun people that is absent minded enough not to observe a big honking 1911 strapped to the side of a person standing in front of them at the register in the local Kroger’s is gonna is crap a brick if they see you wearing a vest.
And I guess we shall revisit this issue again in the future. Probably after Winter.
