Does your choice of weapons or carry method change with the seasons?

Mine does, since I'm more likely to be wearing an untucked shirt, or jacket during the cooler weather.
In spring & summer, it's almost ALWAYS my Kahr PM40 pocket carried. In fall and winter, it MIGHT be the Kahr, or I'll have a Glock OWB or my 1911 IWB.
You??

Heathen.
And mine does somewhat. I can ALWAYS have the LCP on me. Even in gym shorts. But if it is cold (and it is not right now, almost 70 degrees) and I'm going to be wearing a jacket, I'll go with the XD40SC in an OWB Don Hume JIT behind my right hip.

Otherwise, the terrain and the situation dictates the firearm same as it does in summer.
Wearing a jacket lets me throw a Glock 19 in a Miami Classic for a back up.......as opposed to a J-Frame in the back pocket.

My knock off of one is the most comfortable holster I've ever used
During warmer weather I often carry my Colt Pocket Pistol .380 acp as it is smaller and easier to conceal with lighter clothing.
I carry what I am allowed to carry, my hands for self defense, my mouth to talk my way out of trouble, my feet to run away from said trouble. ( I have the option of using my brain as well, if I can remember to use it)

‘my hands for self defense’
To make rude gestures!
’my mouth to talk my way out of trouble’ ---- To make rude remarks!
‘my feet to run away from said trouble.’---- My feet to walk toward the trouble, shouting!

My carry mode doesn't vary with the weather but it's a funny coincidence that my PI jokes about it.
Considering that it's fiction and you wrote it, you could make it coincide with anything that you want to. You never miss an opportunity to plug your writing. It's becomming spam like.
Or "becoming".
I thought the comment was pertinent to the topic, unlike yours. The term "shoulder holster weather" was in fact a joking phrase we used to toss around. So the reference is spot on.
The fact that it's fiction doesn't mean that I can "make it coincide" with anything at all. The book is already written, copyright, and published. I can't go back and fit it to something else, rewriting like the Democrats do.
Lemme think... when did I plug the book other than when I posted its being published in the Clubhouse? What other "opportunities" did I use? C'mon, you've accused me, so let us all know. Tell us in which thread other than where Dan and I are talking our books did I plug the novel. And if I plugged the book here, I did a damn poor job of it, since I didn't give the title.
On the other hand, I did write the damn thing. Next time you write an 85000 word novel and a publisher buys it, feel free to hawk it in the Clubhouse. Nobody will complain.
I mean, dude, it IS something that I actually created. And yes, I'm admittedly proud of having done so. Same as my short stories, magazine articles, book and movie reviews, and going back some years, my newscopy. All that stuff came from my own fevered brain, something that I actually wrote. When you get around to creating something, be sure to tell us. We all like it when a forum member shares accomplishments.
Some folks here post 385 pics of a truck they bought, and they didn't design it or build it. Nobody gripes, instead we say "great truck" and so on.
Meantime, I'm waiting, tick tick, for you to list the other times I've spammed a thread with news of my novel (other than threads specifically about Dan's or my writing, of course.)
Meow.
That's not necessarily true.
I know I currently have no life or wife etc..... but the day My life is so empty that a lil old plug for a book becomes something I need complain of
:queen:
Well, we're not supposed to post live links or specifically ask people to purchase it, which makes sense, otherwise we'd be flooded with people trying to sell everything from Air Jordans to motorcycles.
So there are guidelines.
I try also to be very very clear in my thread titles. A general teaser like "You need to see this..." or "This looks like a great deal..." and then talk about my book would be disingenuous. If I'm talking about my book or similar I always make it very clear in the thread title. Those who don't want to read further can just skip ahead, brother, like the monk in "Monty Python". Someone posts a thread about muskie fishing I'll likely skip over it, too. No harm, no foul.
