[QUOTE="doorgunner, post: 2256127, member: 18486"] Welcome to the forum Briang, if someone hasn't already welcomed you. I'm not in law enforcement, but I was active duty army from 1997-2004, serving in wonderful places like Bosnia, Albania and Iraq. To me, open carry is not a dare, a time to show off, or a fashion show. It's a pistol that I'm extremely comfortable with being at the ready. If it weren't easier to draw from the open, then why do LEO and military wear them open? Can bad guys get your gun? Yes, but it happens to cops too ( just last week here in OKC if I'm not mistaken). Are bands guys going to target me more than other guys? I'm 6 foot 3, 250lbs with a beard and what my wife's calls an intimidating look, so I'm VERY hard NOT to notice. With that said, I don't come across as a trouble maker or thug, either, just a guy who doesn't want himself or his family screwed with. I constantly tell my wife that I refuse to be, and I'll not be a target or easy pickings. There is a reason predators go for the weakest members of a pack. [/QUOTE]
