Oh Mo, you really need to get down to the south. Missouri just finally passed conceal and carry law. But,it has always been the right of to carry in full view. Hence, you would see men and women wearing an arm in full view in public. It is not alarming. And it is not alarming for visitors in my home to see a shot gun in the corner of my foyer. LOL
I'm sure down there it is very normal
But up here .. many would freak out .. not to mention what my mother in law would say .. *L*
Lots of folks up here have guns .. they are just don't openly displayed
