First off, this thread has caused me to really think about this whole subject. Thanks to everyone for their input.
I have had my carry permit for about 9 years since moving to SE In from SW Ohio about 10 years ago. I teach CCW classes in Oh but can't carry there unless I want to get my Florida license. Screwed up laws!
I have carried openly on rare occasions.
After listening to all of the discussions I have come to several conclusions.
I want the element of surprise 99% of the time.
I don't want to worry about breaking the law if my coat comes open so I want the OC right to continue.
I don't want to become a target of a criminal doing a grab or a friend grabbing it while horsing around if I OC.
I don't want to draw attention to myself.
I want to be the sheepdog. I have teeth if the need arises but I don't have to be showing them all of the time.
