For those who live in Alabama. How do you open carry? Do you use shoulder harness, belt harness, or thigh? Don't own a gun (yet), and have never really seen anyone doing it. But find it interesting. Pics with your guns would be a nice touch.

I use a Blackhawk CQC Serpa for a belt holster.

I have a Falco shoulder holster as well. It's a very, very well made holster for only ~80USD but they don't import into the US anymore (supposedly because the dollar is weak compared to the euro).

I don't OC a whole lot (maybe once or twice a week). I'll be using the shoulder holster if it ever gets cold :cuss:. Freaking auburn weather is cold one day, super-hot the next.

For CC I have a C-Tac from Comp-Tac. Great holster. It doesn't conceal as well as my old homemade IWB, but it's much safer.

If I didn't have a pistol permit I'd use a thigh holster in the winter to stay OC. I find thigh holsters to be very uncomfortable, however, and shoulder holsters to be most comfortable :)
