It seems to work well in Arizona. It doesn’t seem to play so well in less cowboycentric areas. Here in Ohio, I am compromising by frequently carrying a full size .45 underneath a shirt that doesn’t conceal it well. I wouldn’t be comfortable carrying 100% openly however and I’m confident that it would not yield the desired results at this time.
Az. is somewhat like Texas closer to real America, except for the University areas which are closer to @#%^#@&^^*@!
“cowboycentric”? Enlighten me.
I'm a concealed carry guy too - I don't shoot real good and thus like the element of surprise. But when it's 107 in the shade EVERYBODY prints. I'd go about unarmed if I really had to worry about the legal implications of anyone knowing whether or not I was carrying.
