NYT front page Tues. April 24th byline by Matt Richtel - "New Fashion Wrinkle". Certain clothing manufacturers are now designing to attract the concealed gun owner. Chino pants with a second pocket behind the traditional front pocket for a weapon. If you prefer to pack your gun in a holster it can be tucked inside the stretchable waistband. All this for the fashion aware gun owner. There are shirts with side slits with Velcro for easily removal of hardware. There is also a water- resistant vest coming out that "includes a stealth compartment in front so the wearer can appear to be warming his hands while actually gripping a pistol in a waistband holster." Surprise! Next comes a jacket with a channel cut thru the back that can be used to store plastic handcuffs - so says the manufacturer. All this fashion to eliminate the unsightly bulges. It may remind old timers of that Mae West risque quip "Are ya packin a rod or are you just glad to see me?" Ooops.
