Open Carry Question


Question
Doug,

I am going to get a CCW in AZ asap, but in the meantime intend to carry open.  Is a shoulder holster a legal way to open carry if it is outside my clothing? Less importantly, is it a viable way to OC?

Thanks

Answer
Shawn,

Certainly a shoulder holster is a viable way to open carry in AZ.  However, it really calls attention to yourself, which is a tactical disadvantage should something criminal come down.  You would be the first target in that type of situation.  Personally, I'd probably go for something a little more discreet.  A strong side holster is perfectly legal and much less obvious to the casual observer than a shoulder holster.  It is quite a bit more comfortable as well (at least in my opinion).

Best thing to do is get your CCW as quickly as possible, then it won't be an issue.

Cheers,

Doug
