Ok Has anyone in their games tried to visualize hiding gun on their person?
I know the guns have concelament rating and all but have you really given it a thought?

in the rl it's a real bitch. Hip-hop rappers wear baggy clothing and that makes it easy to hide guns under the folds but normal people? James Bond has shown a man can hid a light pistol in a shoulder holster under a suit. Police and Gov't agents can wear larger guns under jackets but don't care if they show.

Women's suits cannot hide a gun. The cut is made to cling to the body. more casually a "boyfriend" jacket works well but not too much else. Formal wear is only mildly better than gym wear or a swimsuit and that goes for guys just as well "Is that a gun in your jock or are you just glad to see me?"

Even casual cloths don't do it. Guys can get away with looser jeans and tops, but women's jeans don't allow much give to hide a gun. and for both sides, a motorcycle jacket cuts off as the waist.

Certainly with a coat on, even a rain coat, you can hide a gun, but for the most part, unless you want to look like a slob, you can't really hide a weapon in easy reach (note a purse does not count as easy reach, trust me.)
