I agree Serge, fwiw, I've maintained my 'CCP' since '76
BTW, did you hear about the 'open carry nite' that was held at some Applebee's somewhere in Delaware county last month ? |

Every "open carry" individual I have had direct contact with has been the very kind of person that I do not want to see armed.

Open Carry Loaded was made illegal in CA in 1968 by Governor Reagan. Open Carry Unloaded was made illegal in 2012 by Governor Jerry Brown due to an increasingly large no. of public meetups where people were showing up at Starbucks with unloaded pistols in holsters and clips in clip holders. Invariably this made regular, non-carrying folks VERY uncomfortable and they would inevitably call the police. 9 times out of 10 the folks open-carrying would get into verbal confrontations with law enforcement over the nature of the law. The reason the open carry unloaded law was drafted in 2011 was in order to allow law enforcement to focus on REAL law enforcement than always being called into these social meetups. A common reason that the meetups started in the first place was because of the next to impossible ability to obtain a CCP in CA unless one was "well-connected". For example, it would be impossible for you or I to get a CCP in CA, but Senator Dianne Feinstein has one.

Case in point.
A local restauranteur carries the Saturday take home in the evening. The perp knowing this, (the business was stalked and cased) followed him home and accosted him in his driveway. Said perp was shot, then later arrested, the restaurant take and owner are safe. He was situationally aware and was attacked. As you point out, vigilance is paramount.

Chess, maybe in Ohio, but having traveled throughout Coloradro and other western 'wilderness' states, it's not always true.

Outside of the greater Las Vegas area it is common to see open carry. Such is life in Nevada...and we like it that way.

Open carry is an invitation to anyone doing that without proper situational vigilance to have their guns forcefully taken away and potentially used for illegal lethal purposes -- thus concealed carry IMHO makes more sense and is safer for the public. YMMV
