If you conceal it deep enough, no one would ever know unless you actually needed it.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

I already carry a stack of books with me and a bag/case with my Bible and notes in it. All related to my either teaching, leading music or both on any given Sunday. Probably could go to a knapsack or even briefcase without anyone thinking a thing of it. Put a locking handgun case inside that and be good to go.

Officials described the shooter’s weapon as a Ruger AR-556, an assault-style rifle similar to those used by the military. CNN, citing a law enforcement individual, reported that Kelley purchased the weapon in April 2016 from an Academy Sports & Outdoors store in San Antonio.

I think it would be worthwhile to prevent ad revenue from landing in the news agencies coffers over these stories. This constant coverage and the bloodthirsty salivating over these stories is causing these shitheads to think they can get the newest high score and be famous.

which puts us back to not saying Dave Clark shot and killed 27 and wounded 20 others.
We should be saying dickhead #17 killed himself in disgrace after disowning his humanity. His body will be interned in an unmarked grave after being coated in chicken shit.
