Hi Blueflag -
As a licensed carrier in Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah, and Florida, all of which permit open carry, I am sure you have heard the expression that it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. We live in a culturally, constantly changing world in our local neighborhoods. I have. A friend that believes that if one is licensed to carry and chooses not to do so, he/she is letting society down.

I conceal carry; not to worry. In battery.
