I open carry probably 70% of the time now. One recent foray was to Fat Cats here in Provo to eat at the attached Costa Vida. I have open carried several times before to pick up food to take home, but have never stayed.
This time, my wife, daughter, and I all decided to stick around to eat. We got our food and sat down without a single second look. With my wife being 8 months pregnant and my daughter only being two, I was the designated soda-refiller and as such made several trips from our table to the soda machine.
There were two college age males sitting at the table next to us that I walked by at least three times. Right after I walked by and was up at the soda fountain, my wife overheard one of the guys say to the other, "Whoa, I didn't think that was legal [referring to my open carrying my SW 642]." The other one replies, "No, it's completely legit if you have your concealed permit." "Really? I've got to get mine."
Couldn't have asked for a better outcome to that.
