but I live in Florida where we have had "shall issue" concealed carry since 1987.
I might be more accepting of open carry if I lived in an area where it was common and legal. Still, I doubt if I would walk around carrying openly. I have no desire to intimidate anyone.
One thing I would never do is to walk around carrying an unloaded handgun in a belt holster. I don't carry unloaded weapons.
Reeve's Open-Carry Proposal Heads to Council Tuesday July 18, 2011Whether unloaded, unconcealed guns should be allowed in San Juan Capistrano's parks will be discussed Tuesday evening by the City Council.
Councilman Derek Reeve, an attorney and political science instructor, contends that an open-carry policy would make San Juan Capistrano safer. Even though state law requires so-called “open-and-carry” guns to be unloaded, ammunition could be loaded and ready to use within seconds.
