Let me say this for open carry.
If you don’t do it (at large not me or you) it becomes abnormal. If it’s done regularly than less so. The other side of that coin is the jackasses doing police audit vlogs.
I open carry a lot. Mainly fishing, but I open carry in town as well. I’ll tell you why when I fish you’re GD right it makes me the first target. My daughter fishes with me a fair bit, not as much as she used to, but still purpose served. Also my buddy and I had one singular bad experience that could have gotten ugly, thankfully it didn’t happen years ago when we didn’t always make the best decisions. That was what pushed me to this. Same two wastes of oxygen appeared two weeks later and I made walking a certain direction a point. Heads down and silence. Also had a hilarious interaction with a certain OSP F&W officer who harassed my buddy about his leader length. When he approached I told him immediately that I was open carrying and where it was. He was cool with it but it was hilarious how fast he wanted to leave knowing it was my buddy whom he’d harassed. My buddy was flipping me off when I asked the ripper if he wanted to check my leader length. He says “oh yeah I do” holds it up to his shoulder and says “you’re fine”.
CC is better in most instances for certain. But this is a legal open carry state and I will exercise my natural born right that was affirmed by founding documents not to GRANT to me but to limit government. But what do I know I’m part Polish.
I think the real question here is how wide is our OP’s stance in that stall.
