Who are these people and why do they do it? I have in the past worn just my holster (firearm locked in vehicle) if I was going into one of the rare places I do business but can't carry. However, my holster sits empty for about 15 minutes or so and then it's reunited with it's old friend, G19.

My take is that they are ccw permit holders that leave there guns in the car or homes and want to show off that they carry is my guess. Yesterday was the third time I seen it, over the last couple weeks.

Does Ohio have open carry? Every time I've heard of it, it's used as a form of protest.

I've done this once or twice.
I frequently open carry a Colt Officer Model 1911 in a belt slide holster when out working at my place. When I have to run to the store for something I'll put the pistol in the glove compartment and go in with empty holster. My old t-shirts are not long enough to completely conceal the holster. When I get back in truck I'll holster the pistol. |

I forgot my gun at home one time, hence, I had an empty holster.
It was a concealed empty holster, however. |

A male nurse at work does this for some unknown reason. Technically is does not violate any of the rules I guess cause he would have been told not to if it did I would think. He does keep it concealed though. |

The only time I've seen people carrying empty holsters is on college campuses to protest campus carry laws.
Doing it randomly in public is.....odd. |

I saw it last night. Lady was attending a meeting that was in a church. Churches are no go zones unless you have permission from the church. At first I thought it was some sort of phone holder but then realized what was going on.

Way to advertise your gun is sitting in your glove box (or your just an unarmed asshat). |

Are they talking on their phone at the time? And is the holster shaped more like a phone than a gun?
