The Buckeye Firearms assoc (http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/) has an interesting item in the 2/7/12 edition of its Buckeye Firearms News.

The item is titled, “How To Spot A Concealed Handgun”. The BFA News describes the article, “Based on the experience of Robert T. Gallagher, former NYPD detective, Anti-Robbery Tactical Unit, this detailed illustration, titled Spotting a Hidden Handgun, explains some of the visual cues that reveal when someone is carrying a handgun.”

i think most of that is true for inexperienced carriers, but i have found (or at least believe) that once you become comfortable/confident in your gear you don't do most of those things. when you first start carrying you're kinda paranoid about printing or getting spotted. but once you get used to your gear and practice with it, the rig becomes a natural extension of you and those conscious efforts to "not print" subside, thus making you act and carry yourself normally.

I think every option used to spot a gun besides seeing the bulge, which is inevitable in light clothing, is negated by wearing a good, secure IWB holster. I have found that when I carry any gun that can't fit in my pocket without a holster I catch myself doing many of these things that would give away the fact that I'm carrying to anyone that noticed
