Open carry probably isn’t helping the cause- rifles especially. It’s fine where it is well tolerated but not every state is Arizona. just sayin’.
How do you expect anyone to learn to tolerate it if they never see it happen?
I too prefer concealed carry.
in the hunting community I visit a few times a year, there is no question for someone open carrying. depends on the size of your community. around where I live you will be confronted by cops if you open carry...where as concealed carry for a CCP holder is normal and ignored....as no one knows you are carrying.
