I'm carrying a lot that needs to be concealed so I use spanx.
That's funny. And, I do not believe that everyone in the Villages or passing through is nice and just out for an leisurely motorcycle ride especially if they look like they have not bathed or showed or laundered in three or more days and present a very tough looking persona. I wonder how many Villagers you know who have foot long knives on their belts? This is the first time I have seen someone carrying like this in the Villages. I have seen workmen with pocket or a little larger knives. I have been known to carry one of these myself. I think the blade is about 2 inches. It's in my pocket, i.e. concealed, but used for everyday things like opening Walgrens battery packs.

If I see someone carrying a sword or machete in the Villages I am not going to ask them how is the weather. Unless of course they seem to have a reason for carrying a machete like cutting down palm fronds or something like that.
