In the instant case I'm presuming that the OP took this http://pcdcarry.com/info.html to the next step down.
Those "things" [/disgusted voice] have been discussed previously, will all sorts of speculation about what might happen when the "perception" is no longer sufficient.
I suggest that your "something"s do not by their mere presence act as a deterrent. For instance, a yellow t-shirt with "17th Street Royal Rangers" in black print might in certain neighborhoods act as a deterrent on even a scrawny 12-year old black kid, but putting one on a 6'8' well-muscled white guy with a high & tight and mirrored shades will do everything but deter bad things happening in that certain neighborhood or just about anywhere else. IMHO it's the object + the attitude (demeanor) that makes most things act as a deterrent - and the attitude (demeanor) without the thing often is sufficient in itself.
stay safe.
The environment of Denny Blaine Park on sunny summer days is one heavily crowded with people. It appears that I have been assaulted once and threatened once by persons untrained. You folks like the idea of carrying handguns; I am not convinced it is necessary, yet, for my purpose.
Till then, I gave a few persons one additional minor mental distraction . . . one additional item to consider . . . when weighing whether or not to punch me, grab me or grab the camera.
I've been visiting the martial arts studio for a month . . . One thing they say/teach is that when your opponent is off balance and attempting to regain his balance, you have a significant advantage compared to when he is stationary. . . and the question includes, does my wearing an empty holster increase their distraction and put them slightly more off balance?
given the fact that the fellow then claimed that SPD would be there in 3 minutes, I think it did.
