People need to remember that gang-bangers and other terrorists are cowards who will sucker-shoot you in the back without a thought. There would be no warning. CHL gives you the advantage in all situations. Stay under the radar folks.
You carry your way, and I'll carry mine. My preferred method is open carry and I will continue to do so as the situation allows. I'll also continue to conceal when the situation dictates. We can agree to disagree on method of carry. The fact hat we do carry is more important than the method of how we carry.
Absolutes bug me too. I open carried a gun for a living, and I sometimes work a lot outside in the heat when concealed is not practical. I carry the way the situation dictates. The fact that we carry is very important, but how we carry is also important depending on the situation, which is why my carry method changes with the situations I am in. I do miss the freedom of being able to carry in either method without restrictions.
In some situations, Open Carry will be utilized, but those situations will likely be with limited number of people around.
