44brent hmmmmmmmmmmm lets see i believe the rule of safe gun handling you are

refering to says always keep the muzzel pointed in a safe direction Personally

when i carry its open carry and i carry a PA-63 in a belt holster and have never had a

problem yet but i have a bubbly personality so i would say that the keyto this whole

dilema is education. Educate the anti's about your and their rights under the

secondAmendment, then ask them an honest question do you feel safer with

responsible intelligent people carrying where you can see it or would you rather be

held up in the parking lot from some punk who jerks a gun from the front of his

pants that need pulled up anyway and shove that gun in your face i guess it all

comes back to education and comfort level of the public.I could go on and on about

this but if anyone wants to chat more indepth or get my honest opinion leave a

message im curious to know









1 last thought as responsible firearms owners and responsible "GUN TOTEING

CITIZENS"i feel its our responsibility to educate thosearound us. shoot straight and god bless

I also alternate between a shoulder rig and IWB carrywith my 1911.

I prefer to only use the shoulder rig (horizontal carry) with a cover garment for the very reason you illustrated, and use the IWB with a tucked in shirt for "Open-Carry".

JMHO....YMMV
