Open Carry Does Not Work: Check Out Short Video
In the past, three different jobs required me to open carry and at least I was wearing a uniform.
As a civilian, I carry a concealed pistol.
This gives me the tactical advantage of surprise.
I even carry it into my credit union where I'm not supposed to.
Guess I'm a rebel with a cause.

A guard with a visible gun is more likely to deter a criminal than a guard with no visible gun. Concealing your gun can slow down the time that it takes to react. I don't think there is one right answer.
No Stuff it really happened that way.
Old dino now ponders an interesting approach of finally obtaining quality leadership.
Any recruit who called a rifle a gun would either have to do pushups or stand at attention, rifle held at point arms.
When he said "rifle" or" fighting" he would give his rifle a shake--when he said "gun" and "fun," he would point downstairs.
The only time I ever saw a whole marching company led by a drill instructor groping themselves was in the "Full Metal Jacket" movie.
Keep in mind that I only saw what little bit I saw. Parris Island and Camp Pendelton are big places with lots of squad bays.
This is my rifle
This is my gun
this one's for fighting
This one's for fun

The descriptive part i left out had to do with what was dangling as one ran their punishment laps. I am so glad I was soldiering back in the real days when by the one it took more than one day singular to claim any sort of bragging rights. Months or years was more like it.
Right-handed me now carries my "pocket pistol" in my right pocket, having shifted my billfold to my left.
But the sight of someone with a rifle or a shotgun out in the country? Especially during hunting season? That would gain hardly more than a glance unless you were from New York City or some other libtard zone.
One time I bought an AR-15 as a gift for a close relative at a gun show in the civic center of downtown Birmingham, Alabama.
I had to walk a long way back to my car and I knew other buyers had left the civic center carrying all sorts of firearms case or no case, but I still feeling weird outside carrying that weapon in sight of tall city buildings.
There was no magazine in the unloaded weapon and I had no ammo for the mags I did have when a beggar hassled me for lunch money.
Wondering if his asking was but a shark bump for a hit, snatch and run mugging, I shook my head and stayed as clear of him as I could.
Once clear of that moocher obstacle, old dino still felt very self-conscious as he waited on a traffic light and crossed an intersection in sight of traffic on my way to several parking lots beneath a long overpass of Interstate I-20/59.
I was glad to get what Killary would call an assault rifle locked in my car trunk.
Having been a bank guard in an otherwise gun free zone myself, I fully knew I was the number one obstacle/ target to overcome for a successful bank robbery.
Fortunately, I only had to deal with disruptive people and that was rare.
I've have wondered how many times a disobedient concealed carry person visited this or that bank while I was on duty.
Doing that secret voodoo that I do too.
John Q. Public can add. One marked one unmarked means my chances of much greater than five over working are nil.
Just an add on. If are stopped for speeding and were within five over ask to see the police cars calibration card. That's a written record of the start of shift, end of shift, and during operational use accuracy checks of the radar type units or speed guns. Without that your claim of being within the limit is as valid as the speed guns claim you were speeding. Depends on the location. Some areas treat the whole thing as administrative which means a non defensible situation without courts and regular protections. No fault is another bad deal unless you were true guilty party. I often wonder if the insurance companies kick back anything to the jurisdiction that issued a No fault ticket. Guaranteed your rates are going up for both involved parties. .
