Large cities, IMO, have a different view of Open Carry. I can see it as an every day thing in smaller communities where folks know one another, or OC is the norm, a non issue, so to speak.

But, living in the states murder capital ( for 22 years - what a record ), I'm sure the person doing the OC would have an agenda, a message. To many folks dying here on, a daily basis, to not feel immediately intimidated or threatened.

I feel certain folks in other larger cities would feel the same.

' What are you looking at boy? Yeah, I got a gun, so what '?

Then...from five different places in the restaurant you hear Pop..pop..pop...pop..pop.

Absolutely! And that's the way I look at it too. If you're open carrying a weapon, odds are you're going to run into somebody who is going to take offense to it and feel intimidated, call police, and there will be a big stink made. I, myself, do not have a problem with open carry, but I just feel that it's better to cover it up and not scare people who are ignorant about the Second Amendment.
