[QUOTE="sanjuro893, post: 1806831, member: 4491"] On a serious note, why did police go from carrying concealed in a pocket in the early 1900's (with some REALLY cool revolvers, I might add) to almost every department in America carrying openly by 1920 if there wasn't a tactical advantage to it? I think like Doc Holliday said, there are advantages that you gain and some that you lose by carrying concealed or open carrying. I think being AWARE of those disadvantages and TRAINING to eliminate the possibility of someone using that disadvantage against you is the key here. I don't think open carry is a bad idea. I think carrying a gun with just the permit and no further training and very little shooting practice is a bad idea, concealed OR open. [/QUOTE]
