As much as I favor the ability to carry a gun openly and I do hope that OC will become lawful, but I can also see possible problems with it. People are not used to seeing others with a handgun at their hip, unless it's a Cop in uniform. There are plenty of anti-gun people out there and some will most likely hassle you, question you, cussing you out, or worse, get physical. And if one starts this in a public place, others will chime in and you could be facing a whole group of anti-gun or anti-open carry people making you the bad guy. So, what are you going to do, shoot them?
There's also the other possibility that primitive jerks carry a gun and won't hesitate to use it, because their limited IQ won't let them see the consequences of shooting someone while enraged or drugged. You could be the victime, or someone you love. My step daughter was shot in the leg by some unknown shooter in 08 while Christmas shopping... The perp was never caught.
Maybe out in a country town it's not so 'delicate' to wear a gun openly, but in a city? I'm not so sure that I would walk into a Costco, or a restaurant, or any other public place with a gun at my side. These are just my thoughts and I may be wrong. By the way, there is one thing I have always been wondering about: Wouldn't a Cop rather see and know that someone has a gun, than suddenly be surprised by one being pulled from a hidden spot? I think, I would!
