OC is legal here in MI, but I prefer to stay relatively concealed.

Concealed is my choice...I also don't want the attention of open carry...(from those fearful of guns).

I carry OWB when I OC (if it has not already been covered, OC is the only way to carry in restaurants that serve alcohol in VA).

Concealed, except when hunting for 4 legged animals.

If open carry was legal, how would you carry?

It is and I don't. I think you might end up tasting a bit of pavement doing it around here.

It is legal in most states. Most states do not require a permit to open carry. Because I have a low tolerance for bull. I tend to carry concealed because I do not like being harassed and harangued by the few who think that they can impose their uninformed bias on others. I do open carry sometimes, when I am up to dealing with the associated bull in a positive manner. As I live in the real world I tend not to believe things just because someone says so. As I have never found any supporting evidence about all the so called tactical disadvantages I'm of the opinion that they are all urban myths. If I learn of and evidence of those things actually happening I may change my opinion.
