Two issues here I think:
The horizontal type shoulder holster. My opinion of them is negative. When the primary rules of gun safety are to always assume a gun is loaded AND to never, ever point a gun at anything you don't intent to shoot,,
the holster and carry style really goes outside those simple safety standards.
There's long threads here in the past complaining of being 'swept' by people handling guns at shows and shops.
Those are assumed to be unloaded,,but you never know and it makes you nervous and angry to get that treatment from the seemingly not-thinking gun handlers.
A loaded gun purposely pointed at yourself or others while carrying it makes little sense. I don't care how much training and safety certificates the gun owner , gun or holster has.
Doesn't make any more safety sense than a design that would somehow point the loaded gun forward at family and friends of the gun owner at the table.
As far as open carry, I won't myself,,seems to draw attention where it's not wanted. But I do support those that can and legally do so if they choose.
But safety first. It's a responsibility you take on,,a very big responsibility no matter which method is used.
Just my .02
Be careful
