Open carry is as much about educating the public and restoring the Constitution as it is about self defense.

Indeed it is! I OC here in PA because we have a lot of NY/NJ transplants who bring their mistaken notions of guns with them.

I mght add one opinion of mine.....if one if going to OC and they are able to......do it with a 1911 versus say a Glock. 1911's have a classy, (relatively) non-threatening look about them. I OC carry in many places and have never been questioned.....however, almost every story I have read about people being questioned, black Glocks were on the hip. Just an observation.

The open carrier in this case carried a 1911 pistol.

Glocks are very, very ugly guns, IMO. I love guns, in part, because many are works of art. The 1911 is a classic design and still looks good after all these years!
