Unless you ride a motorcycle, are a licensed PI, or a LEO, I personally don’t see the NEED to do it. HEre in GA, since I have a weapons carry license, I can legally open carry for sure. But I never do, unless I am hunting.
Hi Blueflag -
As a licensed carrier in Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah, and Florida, all of which permit open carry, I am sure you have heard the expression that it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. We live in a culturally, constantly changing world in our local neighborhoods. I have. A friend that believes that if one is licensed to carry and chooses not to do so, he/she is letting society down.

I live in Georgia, and as a small female, there is only one situation in which I open carry: when I’m hiking on less-populated trails. I want to make it abundantly clear that I’m not the woman to F with. (And, on those hikes, I carry a full-size 45; I don’t have enough body length to conceal that even if I wanted to.)
