 Another thought about concealed versus open carry is convenience. Walking around with your gun belt on like Matt Dillon your pistol may be handy to get at, but it's in the way for everything else, it bangs against things you walk past, I have broken grips because the ax handle hit it while I was splitting kindling, and the gun belt interferes with getting in your pockets. Concealed carry on the other hand puts the pistol in a more protected area inside the waist band or at least much higher on your normal belt or under an arm in a shoulder holster which locations not only make carrying more convenient they protect your investment of several hundred dollars from the battering of day to day life.

I prefer to carry for all the reasons mentioned. Why give the BGs a heads up?

My wife's family does have a large ranch in the Texas Hill Country. When on their private property, I strap a holster on my hip and open carry. It will only be seen by family and makes for a faster draw. Lot's of rattlers.
