What do you mean brush up against you? With your hands, pelvic region or what? That’s weird. Trust me. You’ll like it. I feel like your offer to molest mudshark in a special way that he would like is only you trying to weasel your way into his awesome catfishing spot.

Appendix carry. A seat belt doesn't effect the draw.
Open carry?
You're not the law. Therefore, someone is going to be tempted to grab it.
You 1911 guys wearing ~$3000 on your hip?
Dude...

I would be embarrassed if somebody stole my gun while it was on my hip. If that is a concern, you can get a holster that requires you to mash a button before the gun will come out.

There're a whole lotta ex-cons out there who can easily defeat level II and level III holsters. And let's not even consider how many people carry with a $20 holster on a $5 half-inch Walmart belt....... If someone wants it, they can usually get it.

Open carry = 1st targeted I hear this all the time on the internet. Has there ever been a documented instance of this actually happening? I open carry sometimes. I do notice it’s very common in the Southeast whereas I can’t say I’ve ever seen anybody open carrying in Texas.

I keep an eye on them if they are near me. No need to open carry in public places unless you like being the center of attention because you will attract notice. At least around here.

You cannot see behind you. I hear people say "I have situational awareness" No one can be on guard 100% of the time. Even if you are, it takes time to react. If someone tried to grab your pistol, you are a fraction of a second behind.
Nope, wearing open carry is like wearing a Make America Great Again hat to a rainbow rally. You are immediately a target.

I keep telling you guys...Appendix carry.
Not too many people are gonna grab towards your balls. Street honor I guess. Can't look like a fruit to the homies.

Seems much simpler and faster to get the weapon out when/if needed. The weapon also doesn't dig a hole in your vehicle seat. You won't bang it on the door jam either. The only time you'll, 'print' is if you're facing a strong wind. Then, you'll be able to see it.
