Being told that you may need to dress around the gun sometimes helps when it comes from a person who’s wearing the same type of styles you also wear, especially if they are around your same size and age. Gives you a little incentive and maybe even inspiration: if that person can do it, so can I!
But that same sentence sure can be a deal killer when it comes from Tactical Dude or Dudette wearing pants with more pockets than a kangaroo convention.
And it sounds even less enticing when it comes from an unkempt person wearing a fishing vest over a stained tee shirt.
