Yes, and the fact that cc is meant to be invisible means it can not prevent danger. Maybe you’ll be able to draw fast enough if danger presents itself but it can’t actually prevent you from being put in danger in the first place! This creates even more danger, in fact, because you might just get murdered the moment they realize you have a gun and they already have their own weapon drawn.
Open carry, by contrast, actively prevents danger by preventing conflict because people don’t start shit with someone openly carrying a gun. Your cc fantasy is you trying to have it both ways - you want the security blanket of a gun, but you don’t want everyone treating you like a freak because you have a gun. You want to pretend you’re normal, and in so doing are less safe.
Okay, but your safety is also in potential jeopardy because if they find out you have a gun before you can draw they WILL kill you.
Open carry makes sense because that will actually prevent confrontations. CC doesn’t.
The whole point of carrying concealed is nobody knows. My concealed carry gun is invisible when I carry, which is exactly how it should be.
How accessible is the weapon when it is concealed? Am I right in assuming you could draw it in seconds if needed?
Correct. There are a variety of ways of carrying, it depends on personal comfort.
Not mine, but I really like this one:

It’s not intended to prevent danger, the intent is to make the carrier feel secure, which it does.
So a security blanket.
Essentially, yes.
