Very good points made here by all as to why open carry is not a good idea. While I’ve considered some of these points (mainly not making myself a target for bad guys or liberals and their “swatting”), I still want to do it once. Not in a city area, but maybe while out on a trail. Again, here that is already legal, so I could have done so, but just have not had the courage as I don’t want to freak others out. I figured that if I were in a place like Texas, where I supposed it to be more common, then I could do so without as much angst.
