Bob

I'm can only speak for myself on this.
For me,it isn't the desire to show it...wear it on my leg.Not that I would mind anyone doing that and I wouldn't mind having that option.

I've had a CHL for several years now and always carry.
The reason I am for open carrying is because of the present law and how you can get revoked for "Printing".In the winter it is seldom a problem because of the bulky clothes you tend to wear.In the summer,in the Texas heat,I wear t-shirts and that can present problems.

Another reason is that it can get really uncomfortable to carry IWB while doing certain activities and access to the weapon can become highly restricted.
If you need access to your weapon it means you need it right now.

I don't want this law to show off my weapon.I want it so I can carry effectively in all activities.
Bob,I hope this answered your question.
