[QUOTE="Keyser328, post: 1446357, member: 10111"] You know, I've thought about this quite a bit. A lot of folks worry that "some nutball will muck it up for us" et al. Last summer I spent a couple weeks up in Alaska. As I'm sure most know, AK is a "constitutional carry" state, a.k.a. if you're a citizen, you can carry in any fashion you see fit - open, concealed, whatever. I had planned on exercising my rights to do just that, but Canada sucks... and that is besides the point. Anyway, one day we went up to the Russian River to try to catch some salmon. While up there, we struck up a conversation with another gent. As we were chatting, I took a second to survey that dude: He wore chest waders, had his tackle pouch with him, and a 44 mag revolver strapped in a holster dead center on his chest. The same chest holster rig also had bandoleer style loops with more rounds, all sporting wad cutter bullets. It took me half a second to take in his rig, but it didn't affect me. More importantly, it didn't affect the other 100 people on the river at that time. Open carry would invoke a lot less panic that most folks think. There might be a couple of odd looks the first week or so, but after that, people will stop noticing/worrying. [/QUOTE]
