What's the purpose of open carry in a city? Especially after the incident in AZ. Odds are you will be challenged. Someone will call, that's a guarantee. If John Q. Public calls the local PD, then guess what, they will have to respond. You'll be questioned and since it is legal in Ohio to open carry, the call will be cleared. A waste of everyones time. On the other hand, if you choose to rant to the officer about your rights and basically create a scene, then the outcome could be different. Cops know the law; and many could care less about open carry. It's a pain-in-the-*** call. So, go ahead and legally open carry if it makes you happy. Just get ready for the odd looks and the possible police call. Or, you could get your CC license. Out of sight, out of the public's mind. No one will know. No strange glares and no police involvement.
