I just thought of this question that really pertains for those of us living in Ohio or other cold weather states.
What to wear while opencarrying is super important.
I am thinking that I will just wear my Harley David leather jacket since its only waist low. But there goes my awesome trench coat this thing is full length plus it has a liner for the cold.
Just think of seeing some guy in a puffy jacket with a shoulder rig you notice the guy more and get a laugh but I dont think crime goes down just because its cold and you say screw carring its to cold mer mer mer.
Heres a good one will a gun jam more often in colder temps?

Waist length jacket is a good idea. Another option is a coat the has zippers on either hip that can be unzipped to allow for a holster. Somthing a little like this.

If I'm wearing a long jacket/coat I generally just conceal. I do have a thigh holster that works well to drop my sidearm below my coat.

Keep the pics and comments coming,I think all of us who live in colder climates really appreciate it.
I do plan to get my CC which would help out alot for the cold and transport,although im not to fond of having to pay money for some class that is just a way for the state to keep tabes on gun owners and just a way to make money.

Get a separate gunbelt that you can wear outside your coat.

Actually OC is illegal in Florida, those folks are forced to conceal.

In the winter I still wear my open carry holster.
If I have a coat on, the coat simply hangs over the gun. (I have a CHL, so when the coat is covering my gun I'm legal.) If my coat happens to swing back, or if I remove my coat, then I am OC'ing.

I carry a jacket in my vehicle for the times I need one. Otherwise I usually wear a long sleeve shirt ( flannel or fleece) when I do my business. I wear the same holster for my 1911 year round (an opentop Glaco).

| I wear a ski jacket that goes to the waist. I carry with my Blackhawk Serpa holster. If it gets colder than 20 below zero I do wear a longer jacket, but covering up is not a problem because we do not need any type of license to either OC or CC in Alaska.
