I have waded through this topic and have tried to think about what to say... I have been in this world for 20 years.
Mostly, I hear about caliber, etc... Then I hear about laws, etc... Here are my thoughts (even though I hold a CHL in Texas)...
Concealed is concealed. If I go state to state, what are the occasions that I would have to show my weapon? Where do i "check my gun" when riding 95 N through NJ and where do I get it on the backside?
Again... Concealed is concealed ... Take the Marine advice... Presentation in itself is playing the Ace of Spades.
YMMV, but... ATFOTRAF.
