I have always felt that the single biggest problem with a lot of open carry laws is that the line between legal open carry and "reckless display" has been blurred to the point of obscurity. I always thought the intent of open carry was for the benefit of the hunting/camping crowd, in public view on your own property and other places such as ranges, etc. and not so much for strutting around the Wally Mart or taking a leisurely stroll around the local middle school girls soccer game or at the PTA meeting where legal concealed carry might be less distracting.

If people don't have at least a little bit of self-control and a sense of propriety then it will be legislated for us - and then we are right back to the adversarial process and nobody will be happy.
