Um, because someone brought it up?For what's it worth, why are we arguing the Virginia tuck in the Michigan forum?

Ok, I am sorry I asked!
ive always felt that Clyde is a nice, literate guy. very supportive of civil rights.
he was doing the virginia tuck with a .40 glock subcompact at his election party i went to on tuesday, he expressed his displeasure over MI law with me about why the holster hidden under my shirt was empty(no carry w/o cpl in places that sell alcohol w/o permission) i think he would have been a great sheriff, at least compared to wrigglesworth.
this week ive carried at CADL Holt, game hits, steak n shake, lowes, menards and for a walk around holt.
Virginia Tuck is open carry - that is the point of it. Whether "all parts" are visible or not means nothing. In Virginia the test is that it be recognizable as a gun and not hidden from common observation. http://leg1.state.va.us/000/cod/18.2-308.HTM
The sole part that satisfies the definition for Virginia Tuck is the manner in which the transition is made from what would be CC to OC.
I used the Virginia Tuck today when I tucked my leather jacket behind my holstered 1911 when I entered a restaurant for dinner. When I took my jacket off, I was still OCing. Both conditions of OC are very normal here in Virginia.
In the previous picture, the man's gun would be hidden if his T-shirt were not tucked behind it. While the holster would likely project out, the gun would be "hidden from common observation" = CC.
OK, what is mexican carry?
Stuck in the front of your pants (waistband) w/o a holster.
Could lose something important this way methinks
natural selection - reduces the gene pool.

Yeah, except it doesn't have to be the front, necessarily. Anytime it's tucked into the waistband, front, side, rear, without a holster, I've seen them all referred to as "Mexican" carry. I used to do that when I worked as a PI in Chicago. But I was younger, thinner, wore tighter pants, and was a lot dumber then too.Stuck in the front of your pants (waistband) w/o a holster.

Back in the day, I knew more than a few Chicago cops who carried like that off duty, and pretty much that same or a similar revolver. If I hadn't fallen in love with semi-autos so soon, I might have gone that route as well.I actually still own my original, dedicated Mexican carry revolver - a S&W mod 60 w/bobbed hammer + Barami Hip-Grip & Tyler T-GRIP Adapter .
Some good reasons for these accessories being added found here:

Clyde doesn't Virginia tuck, he Mexican carries that Glock .40. Him and I have had several conversations about how he should get a quality IWB holster!
you sure he didnt? iirc, he had a black iwb holster i think.
