I normally keep the plastic (DL & LTC) in the support-side front pocket; my handgun is carried near primary-side beltline.

So far, when I carry, I carry concealed. That said, if/when I ever choose to try open carry, I would choose to carry the handgun in a belt-mounted, primary-side retention holster.

As far as positioning plastic during open carry, I can see some potential benefit to keeping the plastic closer to the neckline and away from the belt and handgun, because I acknowledge some police officers may be less comfortable with open carry than others, whether by default or due to exigent circumstances.

Perhaps the plastic could be carried in a lapel-clipped badge-holder (available at Office Depot, Walmart, or wherever), with the back of the LTC (magnetic stripe, barcode and standard verbiage) facing outward and visible to the outside. That way, a casual observer---whether police officer or random passerby---can ostensibly see that I am lawfully carrying openly as per my issued LTC, while preserving some degree of privacy. If a police officer stops me, I can reach for the plastic (or they can retrieve the plastic) without my hands approaching my belt or handgun, or rooting around in my pockets or under my clothing.
