Concealed Carry.

[lionman.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wonder if a non-concealed weapon would slow people down in situations like this. If you've got it concealed, then guys like this are likely to not think about it. I'm of a mixed opinion about it. However, if my state had a permit for concealed carry, I'd have one.

Sadly many states will not allow open carry (even though it's in the US constitution!). The advantage of concealed carry however it clear: If enough people carry concealed, criminals never know for sure who is carrying and who is not. I have seen this demonstrated personally, in public, several times.
