I think what he is saying that if you open carry you could be approached differently than if you were concealed. I also feel concealed carry is the best option and it is how I carry. I also don't have stickers on my vehicles. I want to look just like every other Joe out there. Surprise can be a defensive tool. I'm sure there are many Generals who have taken the offense and have been surprised at the defense.
I do disagree with his Wild west comment though. And that he thinks Civilians are trained less then the LEOS.
