Is carrying in an OWB holster with a jacket over it open or concealed?
In my book if you can't see it, it's concealed!
I carry in a OWB holster with my shirt untucked 95% of the time.
Anybody looking could spot that pretty easily. I conceal-open carry in the winter. When it's hot I carry a smaller gun IWB that I doubt you could spot looking for it.
I have opened carried in a leather holster, no shirt over it, and I don't think anybody noticed. People are pretty clueless, someone who knows what to look for can tell but the general public won't notice anything more subtle than a OC AK.
X2Pretty much agree with it. I conceal carry 99.793% of the time. The only exception is if I have been out to the hunting land I open carry there. So if I have to stop at the store on the way back...
I see benefits to both sides of it, though I do CC most of the time.
My opinion is alot of folks are so oblivious that they wont notice anyway. There is also something to be said about being able to get the gun into the fight quicker and easier by OC.
I think it's a trade off when it comes to not wearing a drop leg. Hell I was OCing at my parents house and my mom didn't even notice for the first hour I was there.I think that is the argument for OC that I hear the most often. (I'm in no way point this at anyone here... but To that argument's end, why not carry in a drop leg holster? Maybe it's just me but drawing from where my hand naturally hangs is way easier than the somewhat awkward motion of drawing from my belt... maybe it's just my arms and waistline. While I shot USPSA, I always wanted to draw from a point lower than my belt (which is contrary to their rules).
