You start it off by citing an example of a guy who many would consider is carrying in an ostentatious manner, to say the least. ( Which I do not fault him and could care less) Then go on to ask...why? Why do you open carry? IMHO it struck me as backhanded and insincere. I think there's a dozen different ways to have approached the OP in a more sincere manner. So that's why I was suspicious and "not buying it".As for me, I've already answered how i carry and if you really want to know, I'll tell you. I never open carry, I carry completely concealed sometimes and other times I just throw it on my hip and cover it with a shirt. No one has ever noticed that I could tell and if they did, they never alerted to me.I do not want the attention from good guys or bad guys. I carry for one reason only, to protect myself and my family from immediate threat of death. That's it. My decision to go through the process to get my license and carry on my person was not made lightly and I take it seriously. That's why a post that I construed as flippant twisted me off a little. Obviously you didn't mean it that way but that's just how I saw it. I hope you understand.</blockquote>
