How often do you open carry?

100%, with the slight exceptions of work and occasionally Ill toss the shirt over it while at home, just to avoid gripes. At work its in a belt holster, with my shirt untucked over top, because being around milling machines and lathes all day could land a ton of gunk into the gun/holster. Could that count as half-OC?

Never for me, but I would like to oc someday. I lve in Philly and I've only had my ltcf for a couple weeks. I'd like to take a few more classes (particularly retention) and just get used to carrying, maybe next summer.

In the last year(+\-) I have maybe tucked or covered 30 or so times. Almost 100% of these times I was dirty grubby from working in the yard or in the garage. I am of the opinion that dressing for success works. I carry everyday everywhere.
Depending on what I am wearing I either use the High Noon Split Decision or Bianchi 100.

Winter/rain/crap weather means a coat. Not much you can do about that.

I voted 1-20%.

I've OCed only 4 times. I did it for the first time only about 2 months ago. I OCed last week for the first time going into several stores on my way up the the range. I went into CVS, WAWA, and a small grocery store without any "issues". I think most people didn't notice, and the ones that did probably thought I was an LEO (I've been told that I have that look..lol)

I probably will OC more often now that its getting warmer, but I still feel more comfortable CCing.
