Couldn’t someone just take it from behind you?

That's not nearly as easy with modern holsters. Plus I somehow don't think this woman is going to be too easy to sneak up on. Just a hunch.

I'm a big fan of open carry. It lets the bad guys no right away that they'll find easier pickings someplace else.

Exactly. Who looks at that picture and thinks, “I bet I can threaten her.”

I am too!

I applied for a conceal carry permit last month. It should arrive soon. I plan to carry my revolver or have beside my bed at all times.

I am already getting my wardrobe ready to fit the revolver.

It may ward-off some impulse attacks by wimpier thugs, but I think it's wiser to not reveal your defensive capabilities. Why give the really nasty ba$tards the opportunity to plan a way of circumventing your defense?

There are advantages and disadvantages either way, I suppose.
