Part of normalizing behavior for open carry is to demonstrate normal people engaged in a normal activity. I'm interested in setting up a 5k foot race in southern California (coastal San Diego) and wanted gauge what the interest level would be in this forum for such an event.
Obviously there are lots of foot races available, but this one would have the distinction of it's entrants would legally open carrying in the state of California.
The intention of this race would be to create a media event normalizing open carry behavior to drive public awareness that a diverse group of normal citizens wants to open carry. We get painted into a corner from a public perception standpoint as 'gun nuts'. This counters that false perception by showing who we really are.
