Different is, cops have to run my ID if someone complains about my open carry. I know a few guys that carry everyday, mostly security guys. They dress properly and usually wear some kind of tags that hinted SECURITY. They don't get hassled at all. My issue is people who OC and dress like he/she is homeless. If one walked around in my neighborhood, I have no doubt call LEO on him.

Back to my original post.. just be respectful and dress properly if you want to OC.
