What are your thoughts on open carry?

Fairly unrestricted open carry is actually the law where I live (WA) but no one does it and it would create a stir in some settings. It's not the societal norm. I'm not personally opposed to it, but I don't think society is ready, today, for open carry, not in the city, not in a class room.

Ok. How about setting up a few highly publicized events where open carry would be encouraged. Call them "Firearms Safety Days" or something. Set it up almost like a Art Fair with various booths for different topics relating to firearms carry, safety, history, and accessories? I'd be willing to volunteer my time to help set up and run such a thing.

This would provide an avenue for more of the public to see what all the fuss was about without scaring the poor little dears out of a years growth.
