I'm of the opinion, too, that concealed is the only way to carry. Woods or gun shop or range, it's always concealed on me.
I've always wondered how looking like you could protect yourself somehow made you more
of a target than looking like you were unable to protect yourself.
I looked pretty hard and could only find two instances of it happening (to a non-leo) in the whole Internet. One of which was in a town that mandates unloaded-only open carry.The thought that a criminal might spot someone open carrying and take him out, or make a gun grab is valid, but how often is that really happening out there? I don't know.

Means nothing. Contrary to popular belief, not everything that happens can be found on the "whole Internet".I looked pretty hard and could only find two instances of it happening (to a non-leo) in the whole Internet.
You won't catch me open carrying unless I'm hiking in the woods.
In civilization, people can identify me as a threat making me a target if things go down.

Concealed, all the time. I prefer no one knowing that I have a gun. One of the reasons is that I'm not a person who likes to stand out. I don't want anything drawing attention to me. Another reason is I don't want people around me to feel uncomfortable.Do you prefer to carry open or concealed? Now that it is summer I find it hard to carry my 9mm concealed. I feel uncomfortable with open carry. Is open carry something you need to get used to?
