I think that open carry should be 100% legal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. I think it should be protected under strict scrutiny of 2a.

I also don't recommend it.

SO MANY! :)

I think for hardcore training junkies, the biggest misconception is that it'll be an easy day and they'll sleep like a baby afterwards. That's pretty dang rare.

For the average Joe Concealed Carrier, the biggest misconception is that their gunfight is going to go like they've planned it out in their head.

A 12 gauge shotgun.

For a LE professional, grappling arts have to be first because of their mission of apprehending criminals and taking them into custody. So, though I don't generally get art specific for private citizens, for public servants I believe the best place to start is Jiu Jitsu.

I keep my gun concealed, but pull my cover shirt OVER my seatbelt so that it's clear of the belt if I have to draw. Then, if I need to, I draw my firearm from AIWB like normal.

I would encourage you to do the same if you have a CCW and can do so in your state, just to keep the gun out of sight. Also know your state laws to know whether you MUST inform the officer upon contact that you're carrying. If I am in my home state (Arizona) I don't bring it up unless the officer asks, and if they do, I answer honestly.
