    I can't see myself using the Verispack when I'm going to the store to pick something up, feels like it might become intrusive.
    Im might go check out the Ruger LCP and S&W Bodyguard the tomorrow when I'm out and about running around town.

    Worked around the garage most of the day today in gym shorts with my FS M&P and CompTac AIWB rig. I definitely prefer a belt, but the drawstring worked for what I needed today.

    I'm one of those 'rare sorts' that leave the house properly dressed, so it's not an issue.

    Wearing pajamas to the store SHOULD be a mandatory 20 year sentence for 'felony stupidity'. :laugh:

    PJ 'lounge pants' and 'crop-top tank-tops' with a 'muffin top' are NOT "socially acceptable". :nailbite:

    No, not even at 2 a.m. No, not even at Walmart!

    Belly band. I have one and have carried anything from a Shield up to a full size gun and it works great. I occasionally go running with my wife and carry in the belly band while running. It holds it tight even in shorts.

    FYI, whenever I do wear gym shorts, they are just for working out and relaxing at home. Usually, when I'm out running, I just have a knife clipped to my shorts, compression shorts underneath.

    IMO, wearing gym shorts in public is a lot like wearing sandals. It shouldn't be done.

    When I am working around the house/yard/mowing or a quick trip to the gas station in basketball shorts, I OC with the paddle holster that came with my XDS and it stays up just fine with a tight draw string. I have done a few test runs too and it seems to draw fine as well. When it comes to CC in basketball shorts, I say go with the fanny pack or man-purse.

    Could be anywhere
    I just throw on a concealment vest when not wearing a regular holster. The one I usually use has lots of pockets to carry the rest of the stuff you want to take with you too...including things like spare clips.

    It does not look out of place with shorts. YMMV depending on how you look in shorts.

    This is all true and violated on a daily basis. :ugh:

    What about tactical flip flops?

    Violation of INGO dress code is a serious matter. Won't get you banned but we reserve the right to make fun of it on the interwebs
