For me the object is to carry while eating a meal a step or two up the food chain from McDonalds while remaining discrete.

I support open carry. And occaisionally do it myself. But sense I often have the kids with me, I'm generally content to let the rest of you take point on this one.

Having the kids with you will go along way to getting everyday people to except OC.
They get to see you're a family guy that just carries a gun.

I have gone into places that traditional forbid non Leo's from being armed but they ignore me probably because of Mini Me & String bean.

Kids are golden - they promote good "feelings" from the sheeple where we are concerned.

I have watched expressions go from :) to :shock: and then back to:) when I carry my grandson in a restaurant. Generates some good conversations too.

My concern has always been that a negative reaction would spoil things for the boys. My oldest tends to take things to heart.
