Jason Baker, co-owner of MICPL.net, which is a Howell-based business providing defensive firearms instruction, said if he sees individuals walking down the street with a firearm on their hip, he assumes they are law-abiding citizens.
"Criminals are more than likely to try to hide it than carry it openly, because they don't want to take a chance of getting stopped," he said.
Proponents of open carry say their weapon is merely protection.
"I think it's a deterrent," Jeffs said. "People see it and are less likely to pick you out for a crime."
