Here is a favorable mention of open carry showing up outside of the 2nd Amendment world.

The writer is asking whether the huge government response to the Discovery Channel building would have been necessary:

It’s impossible to convincingly play the role of a Monday-morning quarterback, but one cannot help wonder if this anti-gun state were instead a place where even 10% of the population open-carried?

See the post labeled "Surreal In Silver Spring", in the entries for Sept. 2.

‘Save the Planet; Kill the People’

James J. Lee, the Al Gore inspired environmentalist who undertook a destructive assault on the Discovery Channel building, will be quickly dropped down the “memory hole” as a political embarrassment. The anti-life implications of this secular religion were revealed in his brief manifesto urging television programming to “save the planet,” by showing “how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children” who, in his words, “are pollution.” As we are seeing with the established order’s responses to Wikileaks, the power structure cannot abide revelations to the public of the details of its various schemes. Mr. Lee must be forgotten.

On the other hand, had this man been a cousin of the treasurer of the Mud Flats, Kansas, Tea Party, we would never hear the end of the reporting on this event!

Given what we see on a regular basis, 10% open carrying would be astronomical. 10% carrying at all might be more realistic ... at least in 2010.
