I personally would be all for open carry.
But if it remains the current way, there's nothing wrong with concealed carry, as long as they fix the law on "brief" exposures. (Current case pending, you all know about)
There has been plenty of times where I've been down for some reason, and my shirt has exposed my firearm, but for no longer then 20 seconds, as I fix my shirt as soon as I stand up.
The main thing that I want to be able to open carry for is my job, I work as a armed security officer, and when off duty, I have to conceal my firearm.
To me, this is a huge safety risk, and I feel unsafe at times, if I have to go into a public building I.E gas stations, shopping plaza's, etc, because I'm still in full uniform, with my duty belt, holster, etc, with no firearm.
So if something were to happen, I'm unarmed, and exposed.
From a distance, you wouldn't be able to tell what my profession is, and I may be targeted first automatically.
For %99 I try not to go anywhere but to and from work in uniform, for the main reasons I just stated, but there is times when I do.
Before you say "Remove your uniform before entering a building", yes I could do that when coming home from duty, but going, it takes a good amount of time to remove my duty belt, uniform, etc, and I still do have my tac pants and boots on.
So, my main concern would be for allowing licensed officers to carry openly to and from work, instead of having to conceal.
Another question I have, are business's employee's on their property aloud to "Open Carry" without a "G" License?, what's the point of a G License if we as Security Officers are only aloud to "Open Carry" On PRIVATE property as well?
