Exactly. I find most of the time I see open carry it's as a demonstration of sorts in some family restaurant or other establishment where you are completely disregarding the other citizens just going about their daily activities.

Open carry on personal property, hunting, hiking, etc I'm totally cool with as that is not a typical situation where you will encounter a bunch of everyday people.

My thoughts against open carry in daily life stem from the thought (personal belief really, as both sides of the argument find data to support their particular position... much like climate change) that it invites a certain level conspicuousness whether from LEOs or from would be law-breakers. I think concealed carry is a much more effective way of possibly stopping a crime vs. possibly inciting one. As such open carry has the possibility to put the rest of the individuals there in harms way, vs. CC having the potential to provide some protection for the others there.

Depending on where I am and who I am with... sometimes. But no, not typically. But that is an apples/oranges comparison vs. a private citizen open carrying.
