Never understood why the concealed requirement. Why not just carry it on your belt in the open like armed security people do? Would be a deterrent for sure.
Many states don't allow open carry. Arizona and Texas do for sure but not that many other states I don't think. I know in my state printing is not allowed and if your shirt comes untucked technically you are in violation of the law.
The same way it could be a deterant it also could be attractive someone trying to swipe your gun from you.
Also, personally speaking I'd rather nobody know. If someone is thinking about holding up a store and they see a gun on your waist they could be deterred or they could make sure you are the first one they disarm, if nobody knows you have a gun your just a regular civilian being ordered around, wait for your moment when they are distracted and take action.
