I as well carry openly. Whenever I put the damn thing in a bag I miss a shot trying to get it out. If anyone bothers me I just hit them with it, it works quite well.
As for the other remarks, the person obviously has never been on a crowded express subway. Having things stolen from your bag is a common occurrence on a crowded train when the person behind you or next to you has easy access to the contents. It is good advice to keep things in front of you on the train, ie, take your backpack off.

Depends on the situation. You develop an instinctive defense according to the
crowd around you. Once you're outdoors, nobody really cares to notice you
because there are many tourists in town and everybody totes a camera. If you're
alert, your camera securely held to your person, chances are nobody will make a
play. A geek thinks twice about approaching a pro, because he never knows
when a monopod will crack his skull.
