Open, Concealed - I do both. It's 100% of the time when I'm outside my home (very, very few instances when it won't go in somewhere with me). Inside the home, something is always close by.
One thing to always live by, and this is just an example - I'm right handed, and a pistol is on my right hip. When out and about, how do you act, what do you do? In public, I never carry anything in my right hand, never reach for anything with my right hand, never have my right arm up or outstretched from my body. My right arm is always "covering the gun." I don't have it locked to my side, like I'm crippled or anything, but my arm will be in the way of someone else and my pistol. 100% of the time, I make sure there's nothing that will "get in the way," hinder, or slow down access to that pistol.
Something to think about next time you're out, and carrying - open or concealed. Next time you reach for a can of peas on the supermarket shelf, and you use your gun-shootin' hand, you'll be thinking about me... <lmao>
