Today, if I see someone open carrying in a store, I'd assume they are police. A 300 lb dude or a person who looks like they just crawled out of bed (read "Walmart") carrying a gun, I think "this guy is trying to make a statement". This alone is not a reason to carry openly.
Just my opinion.
Need has nothing to do with it.
When was the last time you "needed" an air bag? Me? Never
When was the last time you "needed" a seat belt? Me? Never
When was the last time you "needed" a fire extinguisher? Me? Never
Do you have all these? Me? All of them. I have lots of safety devises I have never needed and will never "need".
I DO support open carry in those places for OBVIOUS reasons.
Seeing a gun on someone should be so common it is hardly even noticed, and when it is, nobody thinks anything of it.
That is crucial to maintaining our freedoms long term and we carrying open when we can is the ONLY way this can happen.
