7 Signs a Weapon Is Being Concealed

2. Unnatural Gait

Gun violators may walk with an awkward gait. They may fail to bend their knees because they have rifles, carbines or shotguns in their pants. They may also walk uncomfortably because they have guns, knives or other weapons hidden in their boots or shoes causing discomfort. Again, the total circumstance will indicate the likelihood of a weapon being present.

For example, an individual with a disability may also not bend the leg or walk with an unnatural gait, but he or she will typically not appear to be nervous. You will also not see the rigid line of a rifle, carbine or shotgun running down the outer pants leg as the person walks or the periodic bulge from the butt of the gun above the waistband or just under the armpit as it moves back and forth while the person is walking.
