Re: Open Carry: Doing it right
Personally, I try to be extra nice while open carrying. I try to acknowledge the people I come in contact with. Whether it be "good morning", "hello", "nice day", etc., I try to appear non-threatening . The reason is simple. I figure if I can convince one undecided person that normal people, sometimes, do carry guns, I've made the world slightly better.
