Depends where I'm going. Most often concealed for me

Concealed, definitely concealed.

Always concealed. No need to advertise.

Thanks yall..That's what i was thinking myself.Keep it hid..Just like to see what others think.
I live in an open carry friendly state. I OC the biggest majority of the time with no one paying any attention to it.If I lived in a state that was not OC friendly I would conceal.

Equality does not exist in the real world - it is a fiction to help the self esteem of those groups who consistently fail to succeed.

I do both, whatever I prefer at the time. About the only place I personally don't like to OC to are movie theaters and the malls. Anywhere else I'll do whichever I feel like. A lot of times I want to carry my full size and that's just a lot more comfortable OWB.
If you have a choice where you are at, exercise it and see how you like it, as always YMMV.
To be honest, id much rather open.
More comfortable, easier draw, etc.
The only reason I conceal is because it doesnt startle all of the sheep.

I conceal all the time. I don't want the unwanted attention.
Why would someone come to the OPEN carry part of the forum and ask if we would OPEN carry? Perhaps I should go to the Concealed Carry section and ask them.
Although I elect to carry concealed I wouldn't ever want open carry banned. I haven't gotten to a situation where I would openly carry a firearm but some day I might & want that option to be there.
