I tend to keep my gun legally concealed by using a vest to cover it. I carry in an OWB holster on my right hip, where I always carried in uniform on duty. I do this because open carry is forbidden at work and because it alarms too many people who aren't thinking. But the vest was designed for concealed carry (has magazine pouches on the inside for example) and I think most people who look at me will recognize it as armed if they have any knowledge of firearm carry at all. For me, this is the best compromise between open carry and polite society/work.

Have you looked at news lately? Kroger mass shooting in Memphis. “But I’m just going to the store I don’t need to carry “. You win - always carry

My darned daughter is bad about that. She has a bad habit of carrying "when she thinks she is going to a dangerous place". My response is always the same. If you think it is dangerous, why the heck are you going there to begin with?

That's the same logic as "I'll put my seatbelt on if I think I'll be in a car accident"
