I live in rural Wisconsin, but I'm blessed with being a retired LEO, so under LEOSA I can carry concealed and open. However, I have never seen a citizen doing open carry in any city limits. I carry open in the country and have never been bothered by anyone. I often hike the back roads carrying a Colt .45 SA Army, or a Ruger .45 Vaquero, both 7 1/2 barelled and pretty obvious. The local LEO's just wave when they go past, but in a town you would have a different story. I'm pretty sure you would be spread eagled on a cop car with half a dozen guns pointed at you. I have been tempted to do it just as a test, since I'm covered both way's, but as another Forum member said, "Is it worth the hassle?"
