I'm a licensed CCW. Yes, I carry often. Why? Because I can. It's true the Ohio laws suck balls compared to Texas and Florida, so you need to be prepared for that. Am I prepared to shoot and kill someone if I have to? Absolutely. You need to be sure too, before you carry. I recommend the class to everyone whether you go full-on and get the certification or not. You learn a lot about firearms, society, and yourself. But don't equip unless you are really ready to kill another human being.
I carry a Ruger P89 9mm most of the time, but it's a little big. Now that I'm having a silencer installed onto it semi-permanently it's no longer practical for day-to-day carry, so I'll be carrying my P90 .45 for a while. It's even bigger, but it will have to do until I can get a small ~3-5 shot .45. As for where and how I carry, sorry, that's a personal secret. I also don't carry just one gun some of the time.
