Conceal carry is the only way I carry!! Just found the best holster for concealed carry. Called versacarry. Look it up.

That's kinda sad I had this happen to a guy at my work and 6 police officers showed up to ask him about his weapon and if he had a ccw

There are much better choices out there, I'd be more interested in one that offers better comfort, better stability, the ability to reholster with one hand and safety. Don't go cheap or gimmicky on a holster for everyday CC, buy a quality holster

Whether you conceal or open carry, if you've defeated an active shooter and haven't reholstered, your firearm will still be in your hands for all to see. This hypothetical situation has nothing to do with open or concealed carry.

Statistics from open carry states show that the fears of "being taken out first" simply are not executed in reality. Open carry also allows strangers to see that you are armed and, statistically, 0 threat, as criminals do not open carry, in fear of drawing unwanted attention.

However much I love the comfort and functionality of my Crossbreed SuperTuck IWB holster, I love my Blackhawk Serpa CQC OWB holster more. I can get quicker, easier draws and it's that much more comfortable. However, I still have a shirt or jacket over my firearm, so essentially, I'm still concealed, except for sometimes the bottom half inch of my holster.

I 100% support the right to choose open carry, I just personally prefer concealed.
