I have concealed carry for a few years both here in Georgia and Oregon. I've only recently ventured into the open carry arena. My first experience was very positive. I went to get gas and decided to open carry. The gas attendant and others getting gas were very supportive...surprisingly supportive. This experience gave me courage to try again and venture further from the comfort of home. My next experience was at Walmart in Covington. Not as positive but wasn't a bad experience. I walked around the store and stopped in the electronics section. Was there for a bit when I noticed the store security hovering around the area. It seemed like about 5 to 10 minutes before he decided to come and ask me if I was a police officer. I replied 'No, Sir.' and he said have a good day and left. Other than a crazy look from the cashier when I was checking out, it wasn't that bad. Why would he ask me that?
I was in the Walmart in Conyers Sunday morning and saw a gentleman with his family open carrying. I told him thank you for open carrying, cause it makes the rest of us more comfortable in doing it.
I will admit that although I haven't had any bad experiences with open carry. I stopped because it made my wife uncomfortable and me very self-conscious. Are there any open carry get-togethers planned in the Atlanta area that I can take my wife to so she and I can get more comfortable with the idea of open carry?
