Yup, memorable examples were a Sig P226 & P225 traded for a new Dan Wesson Pointman/Patriot semi custom with the then owner of DW. It was a case of "Oh! New shiny!" that turned out to be an example the Price turning into a frog. The Prince: and the frog: Turned me off 1911s for...

I carry a gun to balance the weight of the magazines and cell phone on the other side. I carry the magazines and cell phone to balance the weight of a gun on the other side.

It doesn't matter if they were unloaded with cylinder open or closed it is still utter stupidity. And I was there in the 40s, 50 and 60s and folk even way back then knew how to do really stupid stuff and were quite good at it.

Hopefully he issues a ticket for gross stupidity and confiscates the weapon. A handgun on the dash is simply a ballistic missile aimed at any or all of the passengers.

Except "Nylon"

Had doctor appointments over the last couple days and my carry was my Ruger LCP .22LR lite rack. Disappears in my shorts pocket and doesn't add too much to my weight.

I like mine and it has been fun to shoot, reasonably accurate as a plinker and so far reliable. The bronze color doesn't annoy me but has annoyed other folk. They haven't refused to shoot up my ammo with it though.

Towards the question of whether "open carry and constitutional carry are "two different terms for the same thing" it really can't be answered without defining exactly what is covered by each term in the specific State or locale. Unfortunately we as a people seem to love throwing misleading...

For my revolvers almost all has been DA for far too many decades but with SA mode when I want greater than SD accuracy.

My carry gun is hopefully NOT for fighting just as my insurance is not for claims and my fire extinguisher are not for fighting fires and my first aid kits are not fo first aid. All of those things are there for the times all the good options failed and are tools of last resort and evidence...

The Valley.

We are an open carry state and I'm down by the Rio Grande and so far, at least the last couple decades I've had no issues with open carry or kinda/sorta concealed carry or discreet carry. I can be IWB or OWB, most often new (less than 25 years old) holsters from Aker, Kramer, High Noon...
