Its affected me in a subtle but significant way.
When I carry for defensive purposes, I've decided that I am best served by carrying concealed. I don't want to debate this but thats the conclusion I've arrived at.
Based on the courant article I would feel more comfortable participating in an open carry event anywhere in the state. No cop can claim ignorance. The Courant article made a big impression on LEOs state wide. I know of one town where the town manager sent a link to the article to the police chief with instructions to distribute it to the officers.
The big change for me is that am now comfortable carrying concealed in a way that may not be 100% concealed. In the past if the gun printed even a little, I would change what I was wearing or I'd go for a smaller gun.
In the last 2 days I've worn my Glock 34, my Les Baer PII and my Kahr P9 out of the house. In every case it was in a belt holster with a t shirt over it.
So while the change may seem subtle to how I carry, it is not. I'm now carrying more comfortably (belt holster vs pocket carry) and carrying larger more powerful, higher capacity guns.
