Legal Process Server carrying opinions

Hello,I am a professional Legal Process Server. If you don't know what that is, lemme give you an example.I have an attorney's office call me and say that Joe Brown is being sued for selling a lemon house, and he must be presented a copy of complaint and lawsuit information. This information comes with contact info, his day in court, and numerous other things. Now, these are documents that can't be mailed in most cases for the reasons that the court has to verify that the recipient actually receives notification of summons. He can easily just say he didn't check his mail for months or refuse to sign verified mail.Process Servers verify the identity of people by usually knocking on their door and visually confirming who they are based on images provided by the investigator or public records. Half the time they are not happy to be served court paperworks and take it out verbally on the server, or just slam the door. Some don't answer at all, but that's another discussion.So, the situation is this:I live in a high crime area where law suits are rampant and warrants are plentiful. I am often serving legal paperwork to ex-cons and those you'd consider dangerous. I've been swung out numerous times, and once kicked off a porch down about 5 steps.Recently, i've started carrying while doing this in residential. I normally don't carry because I often times penetrate work places that are no-gun zones in order to serve people who run from me. But in residential areas i've gotten mixed feedback. People who are expecting to be served are ultra observant of their surroundings. In the winter it's easy to conceal my P320RX but in the summer it's a little harder. Open carrying seems to of shown some promise because they seem to think I am a law officer of sorts.My question revolves around this:Do you think it's more strategic to openly carry in view of the recipient peeking through the window, or to keep it concealed in case of the worse but lose that anxious feeling that comes with being approached by a man openly carrying with legal documents in hand? I am torn because while I think it is psychologically useful, it may also prove to be dangerous if someone really doesn't want to be served those divorce papers and seeing me carrying both the documents and a gun pushes them over the edge. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2FD1Uk6
