Further evidence that open carry is not the panacea that people think it is, and also proves that criminals are not afraid to disarm you of your visible firearm and use it against you. Unless you have the proper retention holster for open carry in public, and are proficient enough to defend yourself to prevent being disarmed in a scuffle/fight, and have enough situational awareness to prevent being casually disarmed, you should just stick to concealed carry. But, I digress.

I agree, weapon retention is my main concern for open carrying.

I’m not a big open carry person because it’s advertised goods. I’ve looked at PD’s (local to state) stuff and they have no clue at times. I understand that they have a job to do and it’s a tool for them. Personally I always have one tucked away even at a range (and wish I wasn’t in city limits so I could go outside away from people at a range).

If they’ll go after cops, you know they’ll go after civilians

I would not open carry because I lose the kindly old man tactical edge. But if I did find myself in a situation where concealed carry was illegal and only open carry was allowed, I would put on a Level 3 or 4 cop holster and start training. No way would I carry my open top inside the waistband rig without a cover garment!

When I visit AZ I always open carry a SSA.
Also have the 45 under my armpit.

Johnny, I wonder if gangsters today can even make a single action army go bang! Kinda like driving a stick shift car...I can leave my keys in the ignition. Anyone old enough to drive a stick is old enough to respect other peoples property!

Reminds me of the occasion when l was rocking the double western rig , with two unloaded C&B revolvers . And the Ruger P90 and two mags in concealed shoulder rig .

( It was time & place where appropreat , and legal .)
