No
Yes. Once, because I had picked up a second gun that day, didnt have a holster, and didnt want to leave it in storage. Once because it would have been covered by a raincoat. And the last time, I had borrowed a jacket from my parents because it had gotten cold the other night, the jacket went down almost to the knees making it impossible to carry in holster without concealing. The jacket would not tuck behind the holster either. It was carry in hand, or go without.
Yes, but then again, I dont trust a cop not to shoot an OCer, because of the disdain I have seen for OC, how I have been treated by them and the courts, and because they have been known to injure and kill unarmed innocent civilians who were completely unarmed and usually compliant.
^ both of these. If I'm carrying holstered, and have something like a bag in hand, I put in my right hand. If not, I just cross my arms. I don't OC in hand in public either. The times I have, were either LGOC, or to avoid breaking an unconstitutional law.
Even if I were improperly charged and subsequently convicted of a brandishing charge that I wasn't guilty of, it would still be better than being charged and convicted of a felonious CCW.
