I prefer concealed carry, for OPSEC. You might be able to kick-@ss if you see them coming, but if little Johnnie Gang-banger decideds your Sig might look better in his hooptie, you’re going to take a half-full 40oz bottle of beer to the skull from behind.
Self Defense doesn’t start with firearms, it starts with reality.

Me too, but unfortunately our bass ackwards laws in VA require open carry in some situations (re: my first post to this thread). If it were a legal option, I'm sure that Mr. Szymecki would've exercised it.

If little johnny gang banger is going to hit you in the back of the head it's just as likely to be for a whole host of reasons, your money, your weapon, your tennis shoes. I'd wager you are more likely to be targeted with weapon concealed than exposed for all to see. Anyone who has ever approached me while I'm open carry has always shown great respect. I don't frequent little johnnyanbangers turf, so it's a moot point. Our reality's differ. Blackbird.
