Open carry is the epitome of "in your face" behavior. IMHO, it's just plain ignorant to do so in a public environment.
I see some yahoo in an open carry mode and I immediately suspect his/her emotional stability give the poor choice he/she has already made.
As far as I am concerned, mature people don't display weapons of any sort unless and until they are necessary to safeguard a life...period...
YMMV

I couldn't agree more. It is "in your face" and I don't think it helps our image. Let's face it--guns scare people. We're trying to excersise and retain our rights. If open carry inspires folks to be anti gun, we all lose.
I'm in favor of: carrying responsibly and discretely and keeping a very low profile. No need to make people nervous and attract attention to yourself.
