[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 1582285, member: 3553"] An LEO on duty has visible markings (like a badge, uniform etc) that identify them as such. Once they have that on, it makes little sense to carry concealed, since any perp will identify them anyway and know they are carrying. But most off-duty LEOs carry concealed, when they want to blend in. It's pretty simple really. If you are in a closed environment with a bunch of possible bad guys, would you rather know who is armed before hand (open carry only) or would you rather have everyone possibly carrying, but not know in advance (concealed carry)? Concealed carry gives greater tactical advantage to the bad guys and to the potential good guys in a scenario. Maybe the Wisconsin owner wants greater control of his situation by being able to identify in advance who is carrying or not. Of course, this strategy does not work because bad guys will ALWAYS conceal carry till they start the crime in progress. Tactically it makes much more sense for a good guy civilian or good guy off duty LEO to carry concealed in almost any situation. That way they can choose when to reveal themselves as sheep dogs and not just sheep. [/QUOTE]
