There’s definitely been an uptick in open carrying that I’ve noticed in the past several months. And I’m glad for it.
The reason I don't open carry, (Lets say in Wally world, shopping, in restaurants, etc.) is it brings unnecessary attention on yourself. I feel it is smart and enhances situational awareness to maintain a very low profile. It gives any person much more flexibility for an appropriate course of action in a high risk or dangerous situation.
