One aspect of concealed carry I *don't* care for is that outer garments can severely slow down draw and presentation...and screw both up pretty badly. Yes, we should all train for that, but I know I don't. As for how folks respond to others carrying openly, it actually gives me a more positive feeling to see others carry than a negative one. But then, I assume anyone openly carrying is most probably a 'good guy'. Probably a stupid assumption.
I fully support the OP's choice, just want to be clear on that.
Overall, I think we all have our own 'probable scenarios' floating around in our heads, and I imagine they are all equally unlikely as the scenarios we'll have to actually face. "What is the situation right now and what will it be in a few minutes?" is probably going to provide the best answer to what we should be doing at any given moment, as opposed to any general rules.
