One reason to open carry is to inure the citizenry as it pertains to their 2 Amendment rights. Do you have a gun rack? Do you use it?
The old pickup I bought came with a gun rack. Drove it for some time with the rack empty. Got a bug one day and put two air rifles in the rack, sitting in the park reading a biography of W.C. Fields. I happened to look in the rear view mirror in time to see two of Boise's finest approaching! Someone had called in a man with gun. I told them the air guns were unloaded but the book is loaded. They left without me.
After that I swapped out the air rifles for real rifles and a 12ga. I have gotten one more man with gun call, I have also gotten several complements.
How about you?
