When I lived in Idaho, open carry was really quite common. In fact the local Law enforcement would not issue a CCW unless it was an extroardinary circumstance or work related. The sherriff said wear it in plain sight so everyone knows....I liked him. Now however since I retired from the Navy my hair is long and I have a full beard and I ride a harley...so open carry would really upset most of the local citizens just based on their preconceived notions of what a "biker" is. I rode my bike to a local range with my winchester slung over my shoulder one day to sight in my rifle for hunting season, the sherriffs deputy that pulled me over said they had recieved over 10 phone calls in 5 minutes about me. We laughed about it and he let me go. I can just imagine the calls they would get if I was open carrying a pistol on my bike.
