Which could be a good thing if your state/county has an ordinance against concealed carry.
If lock-up is of most concern , a 3" fixed blade will do all you need , no worry about a lock failing , and carried horizontally in front of you stays hidden. I have been carrying a small fixed blade this way for about 5 years now ( first a BM210, then a Rinaldi Matrix and now one of my own ).
No thumbstud to worry about , no clip to worry about breaking , no worry about losing it out of the pocket. With the retention on the kydex sheath , I can ( and have ) hung upside down , and it is not coming out until I deliberately pull it out.
( I do have others that I carry for times when a fixed blade might spook people , for those times I use a John Lloyd baby trapper ).
