[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1807904, member: 18"] Because they were already identifiable by their uniform. Because of their uniform, everyone knew they had a gun so there is no purpose in concealing it. When data analysis via the Officers Killed Summary revealed that a substantial number of officers killed were murdered with their own weapons, retention training and retention holsters became the norm. If you do choose to carry openly, I highly recommend both intensive (not extensive) retention training and an active retention holster i.e. ALS, SLS, or thumb-break (if you absolutely have no other choice). I do not suggest the SERPA despite it's proliferation. I think you will find that once you start using one of these that any tactical advantage of an openly-carried holster goes away, with the possible exception of the ALS. YMMV as there will be exceptions for extremely rural area, farming etc where you are not likely to have to intereact with someone at near touching distance. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
