Maybe in your state. Bob lives in TN and that's an open carry state. It's no more or less "careless" than any other method.
I've thought about that from time to time. I could conceal my Smith 686 with a five inch barrel in a belt holster under a long enough jacket, but sitting with it is not comfortable for me, and deploying it in a car would not be easy.Since when is a sportcoat not a viable concealment garment?
Full sized auto pistols were not intended for concealed carry. I have met people who do conceal one, though. The Model P is 2/3 again as wide as a Model 1911, and depending upon barrel length, an inch or two longer.An SAA sized revolver is no more difficult to conceal than any full sized auto pistol.
Most people I know don't carry a fully sized single action either. Those of us that have done it regularly, know better than those who only hypothesize about it.Most people I know do not carry a full sized semi auto concealed.
Absolutely!If you regularly use a handgun for hunting, pest control around the homestead, things that go bump in the night in a rural setting and informal plinking, then you can do all those things with a single action revolver and do them well.
The need to use a defensive firearm in the gravest extreme is unlikely to materialize. But one who does carry one had better use it enough to develop and maintain proficiency with it.Not just carrying it for something that will probably never happen.
It may seem "natural" to carry them concealed, but that does not make them a very good choice for defensive carry.For somebody that lives with them and uses them every day, it's very natural to carry them concealed.

Once again, that depends solely on the individual making that decision. Are they better off with their choice, or your choice?It may seem "natural" to carry them concealed, but that does not make them a very good choice for defensive carry.
Why do those who disagree on this subject feel the need to try to batter the other side into submission?
Great point!Why do we take the bait and feel the need to defend against someone determined to hijack the thread and argue endlessly?
