Just yesterday morning a good friend of mine was attacked as he walked to his pickup to go to work. He leaves before daylight and his assailant knew this and was lying in wait for him with a baseball bat. He managed to get his J frame out of his pocket after being blindsided with the bat and the attacker ran off before he could get a shot off. He received 26 staples on his head and was sent home. The attacker was later apprehended. He is an ex con with a drug problem. He knew the victim and knew he had assets. A female accomplice later told investigators the original plan was to kill the victim and his wife and clean out their house.
To answer the original question, I open carry a 686 + while riding the tractor, four wheeler, or riding mower. We have meth heads and snakes around here and I don't like either one. As for what's inside, if you try to come in, you win what's behind door number one.
