IMO horizontal shoulder holsters are for concealed carry or seated carry like in a vehicle. I say that because with a horizontal shoulder holster OC, your gun is always and obviously pointed at anyone behind you. And since most have an open barrel end, the person behind you is literally looking down the barrel. Your drop leg may be pointed at someone while you're seated, but at least s/he isn't literally looking down the barrel if s/he even notices. Personally, I don't even like having my holstered firearm sitting on a coffee table pointed at anyone. Can't imagine how generic mom standing behind someone at the grocery checkout and having a gun barrel pointed right at her face might feel.
Vertical carry shoulder holsters like for larger revolvers and full size 1911s are obviously a different story and may draw less attention than a dropleg as your arm is partially covering it.
