[QUOTE="hk7686, post: 802471, member: 8629"] +1 I just moved back from Arizona, and I open carried daily, was never hassled by anyone and only got questioned by people around me in the store or mall a few times. I've had LEO's compliment my guns and make small talk with me in lines at McDonalds and such, and have even discussed it with a few of them, it seemed a very common practice in Arizona, when in Tempe around people from other states, they might be a little sheepish about it. I was a little nervous when open carrying at first, but it eventually just becomes part of your wardrobe. I don't see how it gives up your tactical advantage, as muggers don't always have to be armed with firearms. I had a friend from my class stabbed 14 times by 3 gang bangers just a couple of blocks from our school just because he was a nerdy white boy. I'd been approached a few times while open carrying, by wannabe bangers and they always backed away once they clearly saw what that thing strapped around my leg was. I know that I'm young and dumb, I have my CWP, and back here at home I deal with having to hide my weapon, and always having to wear clothes to suit my guns, rather than guns that compliment what I'm wearing that day.
