I suppose if this were a colder climate it would be harder or if men usually carried backpacks and purses.

Concealed Carry: How to Dress For Concealed Carry | The Art of Manliness

Where do your friends (in the Villages!) conceal their weapons? I also would be curious why they think they need one? I can understand victims of long term domestic violence, stalkers, or ex-cops who might have criminals with grudges against them; people who carry large sums of money; bodyguards; and some others. Basically any one who had a profession where they would have created enemies of the lethal kind.

You posted a link to an excellent article about effective concealment of your weapon. I found it deficient in only two places; its treatment of the smaller caliber pistols and its discussion of inside-the-pocket carry.

North American Arms (NAA) produces a high quality .22 rim fire magnum revolver which is so small that it is incredibly concealable. It can even be equipped with a folding handle with a clip on it to facilitate hiding it. I'll attach photos.

Kel-Tec, and some other companies are producing small semi-automatic pistols in .32 and .380 caliber which are carried very comfortably in the pocket inside a holster which prevents the outline of the pistol from being discerned. The article you linked seemed unaware of the developments in the pocket holster area. See photos.

I assure you that someone in shoes, shorts, tee shirt and golf hat has a multitude of places to conceal a firearm. Actually, even if in a bathing suit alone it can be done.
