Well, I've been a CCW holder for almost 5 years. I've been doing a lot of reading on open carry and recently bought a holster and decided to OC.
I went for a bike ride down a public path in the city of Midland, and later walked to McDonalds and bought a drink.
I think only a few people actually noticed I was carrying, and only one, if none were talking about it. (I wasn't sure if they were or not, but I really wasn't paying attention to them)
No incidents. Will continue to carry openly.
I think that if more people that could legally do so were to OC, criminals would be seriously afraid to do anything. However, I'm paranoid that someone who does not know the law may react badly if I tell them no when they ask if I am a LEO.
I'll be honest though, I feel like I'm doing something wrong... It will take time to become comfortable with it.
