Pahrump, I have been there several times.
Open carry vs concealed carry is a discussion that has been going on for a long time. I have open carried less than five times. I normally conceal carry just out of habit and mainly because there are a lot of people here in Indiana that would freak out about it even though it is legal. I really don't like attention of other people as I am more of a sit back and watch kind of guy. More than not if I am away from work I am carrying and my go to is a 1911.

When in the country on my farm I open carry, any other time I carry concealed. If there ever comes a time when I need a handgun and I pray not, I think I have a much better chance if the bad guys don't know I am armed.

Thank You all for responding. It's pretty much what I expected. The part of CCW that makes me wonder is, someone who wants you to know they are carrying concealed by tucking their shirt to tight or in something else like that. Why don't they just open carry?

I CC and always have. I think it's hilarious that someone who has the right to CC judges someone who has the right to OC. God bless this country and god bless the Constitution that allows me and you to protect our right to live and be free. Once upon a time people carried their firearms open on their hip or concealed and no one thought either one anything but normal. It's a shame that antis have pigeonholed our thinking to believe that either way of carrying is wrong when all it really is is a choice.

Have carried a gun just about daily since 1970 and never once open carried. Even when running around the boonies out in Idaho with Mackay where the nearest neighbor is 5 miles away my gun was concealed.
I've taught defensive shooting and tactics since 1991. "Open carry tells me the person can shoot. If I was a bad guy I would look somewhere else for easy target."...I have found the exact opposite. These are usually the people who "think" they know what they are doing....and really have no clue. And do a search on open carry people who have had their guns taken away...you will be surprised....
CC isn't that difficult even where it is hot and sticky....it is just attitude and mindset. I lived in Dallas and Houston for 12 years total. I've been in Florida and Arizona for extended stays...never carried open.
I hope this whole nation goes Constitutional Carry...if you can own it you can carry it...we will be a lot better off.
