Yeah, and as Abe Lincoln once said, "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."
Where do you get this stuff? The likelihood of having to use a concealed weapon is way, way below 50% once it's been drawn. Very few robbers are willing to shoot it out over a wallet and cell phone; they just don't figure on getting an armed response, since they likely never will. Pull a gun out of your back pocket when he thinks you're pulling a wallet out and he'll likely run to the hills. I don't know if it's legal or customary in TN, but open carry is in AZ. So, when I go to make a gun deal in the local Sportsman's Warehouse parking lot, I ride the bike and open carry. That ensures a smooth transaction every time. A bad guy would take one look and keep on driving. A good guy wouldn't hesitate to complete the deal.
