Hahaha, I've always wanted to use "made" in that context. OK, anyway... I went to Brooks Brothers for some new work clothes (at the girlfriend's behest) and the man insisted that he measure me. I claimed I was a 34" waist and he said (politely) that we had better size me up "just to be sure". He had the tape around his neck and before I could make any kind of an excuse he had it around my waist. He started from the left (I carry IWB @ 4:00) and came around my front until he felt my gun. He didn't look at me, but he looked sort of "up" and paused very briefly, but then continued on. I didn't know what to say, so I just let it be. The rest of the shopping went well and it didn't come up once.
Did he think it was nothing? Did he know it was a gun and think "OK, better stay calm"? Did he know it was a gun and think, "Maybe he's liscensed"? Thoughts...?
PS: I was still a 34. Ha!
I was "made" at Brooks Brothers...

I was made 2!
My cousin come over to our family reunion this week end and hugged me in a greeting manor her eyes got real big see looked at me and said did you get a CHL or something?
I smiled and said I got something ....she looked at me a second or two and then said are you legal?
I smiled and said yes I am legal she smiled and said good.
She works for a lawyer in Arlington so i guess she knows about that stuff she said what size is it and I said 9MM Glock.
She said good gun and nothing else was said the rest of the day.
