Which would you prefer: open carry or concealed?

Concealed, the only time people need to see it is when you need it.

I prefer concealed. No sense in revealing your handgun if
Not needed. I do participate where we do open carry. In Alabama you can't carry on your hip without a permit. So if I go to the trouble to get my permit, I conceal. When concealed isn't needed I am protected when I exit my vehicle.

Open carry Desert Eagle .50 AE on the hip. I jest. I think if it is allowed and you are legal, I don't Chive, but keep calm and carry on.

Concealed Carry

I'm a bit conflicted on this. I think opened carry isn't a big deal if you live in a town of say a couple hundred to a couple thousand. However, I think concealed is better when you consider most populated areas are hundreds of thousands to millions. That many people with an open carry policy would be like asking for issues. I could see open carry in my home town of 400 people not being an issue, but I can see big issues with places like new York or LA.

Concealed carry...unless im making another rap video then i just wave it around and call magazines "clips". The gangster life obviously chose me

Concealed carry is about defense.

Open carry is about defense, and deterrence, and freedom, and taking firearms ownership and carry out of the closet.

In many States, open carry does not require a permit, while concealed carry does. I open carry, in part because the idea of paying for a Constitutionally-protected right irks me.

As a police officer, I prefer to do both, always have a back-up, and a back-up for the back-up.

Concealed. Now im not opposed to open carry but that also brings unecessary attention. I too, along with a good number of these comments, agree to keep those who harm us guessing.

I carry concealed regardless if open carry is legal or not.
