CCers need to stop saying "the element of surprise" it sounds bad. I know what your trying to say, when the gun is right out there in the open, if you get in an iffy situation, it could cause an unnecessary escalation. Whereas, if its not visible, there's no need to go straight to guns. Of course every situation will be different, and that has been my primary beef with you staunch one siders.
No ONE method is always gonna be the best way, PERIOD. So your both right, and your both wrong, if your not comfortable carying any particular way, that's fine, don't do it. But recognize the benefits and the detriments of each method of carry, and practice carrying the way you prefer, for whatever situation you find yourself in. To be rigid and inflexible, in any discipline, is not taking full advantage of whats available to you.
