I can tell you from experience that it leads to some interesting encounters. Keep in mind that I live in a gun friendly state, but we have a lot of Californians. I was hassled by every cop that saw it. When I say hassled I mean given the third degree.Why? Whadda ya NEED it for? I was approached by regular citizens and questioned. Everthing from guns are bad and you shouldn't be carrying that to hey is that a mountain gun. There were several of us particpating in the act, one was pulled over on his bicycle and questioned. One was forcefully taken down in a parking lot, from behind, at gunpoint, by four adrenaline pumped "public servants". They told him they thought he was a gang member. When they couldn't pin anything on him they tried to argue that his IWB holster was actually concealed and they'd be looking into charges. The DA looked at it and dropped it. And my favorite, my wife got a phone call from a Detective investigating an armed robbry at a local grocery store bank. He asked all kinds of questions. When I caught up with him, I asked what made me a suspect. He said one of my neighbors had seen me wearing a gun and called the sheriff.So, in the words of one old guy that we talked to," God Bless you and good luck."
