I carry concealed. Open carry has never appealed to me for various reasons.
Then it dawned on me the other day, the BIGGEST reason why I would never carry concealed is something that I actually never gave much thought until the other day sitting on the hopper in a rest room.
If you open carry and you want to go shopping or anywhere else off your property, how do you know who exactly will allow weapons on their premises? You wear a gun and everyone can see it, you come up to a store that doesn't allow weapons, what do you do? If you go in you're busting the stores request and there is a good chance you can get the law called on you.
The reality is unless you come across a metal detector and you carry concealed, no one knows, period.
