Even though it may sound like I'm one of the "naysayers (trying to) get you down", all I'm trying to do is provide a pragmatic point of view to the open carry topic. Also, I'm not making any judgements about whether it is "right or wrong" to open carry. As long as it's legal, go ahead and carry open if you want. But be prepared to suffer the potential consequences even if you think/know you're "right".

Also, Steve's (unsupported) statement about police "harass(ing) licensed people who carry concealed as well" just doesn't hold water for me. According to his "logic", since the police are "harrasing" those who ccw, this should be further justification/reason to carry openly. Maybe if you ask Steve when and where he open carries, and why he CCW's "most of the time", this may provide more insight for you decide whether you want to open carry.
