I just can't feel right about it somehow. Plus I like the advantage of nobody knowing.

Well, I think there is an advantage to carrying concealed. If you are OCing, and a BG comes into the place with the intention to shoot up the place, he will at first be concealing and look for any weapons on people. If he is still inclined to shoot up the place, who do you think he will take out first? I do feel that OC has it's place, though.
Here are my thoughts from watching that tape:
Talk about a cold-blooded, fast attack where an innocent was shot without warning! Unbelievable. Situational awareness is really important. Luck doesn’t hurt, either.
Open carry was an advantage in this case because in the video I saw just how fast the GO managed to draw his gun and begin to return fire. You always hear about how open carry is so bad tactically – you’ll be the first one shot, etc. Oh, yeah? The GO had a HUGE gun in plain sight and he was NOT shot. Who got shot first? An unarmed store owner.
I am betting that the BG was on drugs, big time. He was hit with THREE 45-CALIBER BULLETS, with at least two of those hits causing grievous injury, and he continued the fight as if he had not even been hit at all! In fact he was strutting like a peacock who owned the place as he was walking up and down the aisles trying to get to a position where he could shoot the GO. As a gun owner, you need to be prepared for that eventuality and keep shooting the BG in his center of mass until he stops his attack. Don’t think one shot, or even two shots, are going to do it. And a head shot might well be what it takes to stop such an attack quickly.
If you are out of ammunition, a gun does make a great weapon with which to bludgeon someone in hand-to-hand combat.

Hmm, I couldn't help but feel like I drew some attention, but firearms are much less commonly carried in Washington
When you first started carrying concealed, did you look around a little bit extra to make sure nobody seemed to be noticing? I think it's normal. The only thing that causes open carry to be "weird" is the anti-gun propaganda that has been pushed by the media and anti-gun groups and the government since about the 1950's or later. Up until then, it would be considered weird for (and this is going to sound sexist) a man NOT to have a means of self- and family-protection available to him.

Not sure what part of WA you are in, but I OC all the time when in civilian clothes. Bank, grocery store, place that cuts my hair, liqour store, just everywhere permited. You should see Starbucks in Lakewood and Federal way when our OC group meets up for coffee and conversation. About 20 people sometimes more. You should go to the 2A rally
at the Capital in Olympia on the 30th of April at 10 am. There will be speakers and various organizations with display and a wealth of information.
Might as well just get over it or I'm going to be the guy wearing a jacket on too hot days.
Please cite any incidents where that was the case.Well, I think there is an advantage to carrying concealed.
