In some places, wearing a Rosary around one’s neck is a sign of gang affiliation. That’s terrible, but you don’t want to give the wrong message. If you want to carry it on your person and have no suitable pocket, simply wear it around the neck beneath your clothes.
In some places. Where I live, it means Catholicism, if the people in public even know what that is. I've had the blessed opportunity to teach children what it is. I believe this ties into what the original post is saying.

Pray tell how can it mean Catholicism if the public doesn't know what Catholicism is?  :facepalm:

Wearing it openly is ostentatious, in my opinion. Just an opinion, nothing more.

Wear it on your forearm, like a Catholic Knight, that way, when you swing your sword it'll fly off.

I have this rugged metal paracord Rosary that probably weights 2-3 pounds, and I've always thought it could double as a physical weapon in addition to being a spiritual one.
