I OC quite often around my place. (Farm and business) It is very inconvenient to try to do certain types of jobs with a pistol concealed in side a pocket or waistband.
My holster is like a tool belt, where I need it, should I need it, but out of the way when I do not.
Although I do not parade around town with a gun on my hip, I have been known to go to town for hardware, gas and a new pair of boots. If people noticed, I did not. The only comment I ever got was from the lady at the gas station. "Oh, that's a pretty gun, what is it?" (We laugh and I told her guns are not supposed to be pretty!)
I am a firm believer in not parading around with the gun just to show people you have it. I am also a firm believer that if enough of the public sees you carrying a gun (Like a tool belt) and you ignore them and go about your business, it will slowly change the public perception.
