I have worked with quite a few deputies and city police officers, one of which is a firearms instructor at the law enforcement academy here in
Iowa and two are instructors/armorers for their agencies. Most carry concealed when not on duty. When asked why the reason I have been given... it gives them options. Not showing allows you to blend in and be just another Joe. Sometimes getting details of a suspect, vehicle, which way they took off, etc. can be more beneficial to on duty officers and less likely to escalate a situation and more harm brought to others. Here in Iowa, you are not to unholster a weapon unless you have to eliminate the treat... this means no brandishing, warning shots, shots to injure... all will result in you being in trouble with the law yourself. Open carrying can present you as a first target in an event where shooting occurs... an armed citizen is of no use when they are the first taken out. There is also the paranoia factor, when people carry concealed the bad guys don't know who might be around that will stop them.

I personally have no issue with others openly carrying, if done so legally. In fact I may go strike up a conversation, find out what is in the holster. I have known a couple who wanted the shock factor or had the "I'm a bad a##" attitude you mentioned, I tend to steer clear of these folks, as this is not the reason to carry and puts all of us in a bad light. Myself, I may or may not take the element of surprise.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha ... [Read Article]
