Douva, I don't remember if you are in Texas or not. But I regularly see lots of LEO types in plain clothes who open carry. Some might be those elected as Contables, Sheriffs, also fire marshalls tend not to wear uniforms. I work in Baytown, they have a good sized acadamy, and I am always seeing students open carrying in civilian clothes, when I go out to lunch. No one ever seems to get alarmed, Of course most LEOs that I see are typically 40+ dressed business casual, clean cut and not behaving suspiciously.Douva wrote: And personally, I don't think that relying on the "people will just think you're a cop" mentality is a smart strategy, especially since plain-clothes police officers are not allowed to open carry in the state of Texas (it's not something people are used to seeing).
