I used to hafta look cool and open carry while "off" duty (a real cop is never truly 10-7) to like required schools and such, until I started pocket carrying a Smith & Wesson J frame as a EDC/BUG.
Since then, I've matured a lot. I always have my sidearm with me in the car but I don't carry it in on my hip (open carry) in the classroom, unless it's firearm oriented, like qualification day or something. Just the EDC/BUG in the pocket. I feel like cops who think they need to open carry are just kinda showing off.
I like it when ya'll carry openly to classes we host. Certain coworkers don't, though. But I like seeing the deterrent of 15-18 loaded firearms in a statutory free-kill zone.
Loose cut blazer solves most of those issues. When I was an LEO in Georgia we had lots of young ones out looking cool. Of course it didn't take to long before some found their way to a supervisors office because of it. We had one idiot in our department who would wear our issue T-shirt that had the badge monogramed on the front, and Sheriff on the back, with out a weapon. You just can't teach stupid!!
