There is one reason one might decide to conceal carry that hasn't been discussed.
To me, the biggest reason for me to conceal is a privacy one. Privacy is a lot like toothpaste, once it's cut loose you can't put it back. I'm a private person and don't wish to share details of my life to strangers. I want to control the information that people have about me. I don't wear t-shirts and decals that tell the world my sneaker preferences or what kind of computer I like or even describe my marital status number of children and cats and dogs.
What kind of guns I carry and how I carry is none of the business of strangers, until I have a need to display technology on my hip.

Re: Should I open carry
There are lots of things to consider.
What kind of holster? Does it have retention?
What's the environment? People bumping into you, stereotypical hostile business.
What do you normally wear for clothing? Me personally hate wearing tucked in shirts. In the cool weather, I typically wear these Duluth shirts a lot. I could wear an AR15 on my hip and it would conceal carry.
Typically I carry concealed, I'm a private person and don't like sharing my business. There are times I open carry, such as early morning walks or if my light weight shirt catches the wind. But normally I just keep it covered.
