In almost 40 years of traveling all over the country, I cannot recall seeing any non-LEO carrying a handgun openly, unless we were hunting. This includes the so-called "Gold Standard" State of Virginia that I've gone to at least three times a year for fourteen years. Open-carry this session was our legislative Hamburger Hill. We won, but at what cost and what did we truly gain for millions of Texans? As I've said many times before, I want to make a difference, not merely a point.

I lived in Arizona from 1995 through 2000. At that time, open carry was unlicensed and concealed carry was licensed. Even with unlicensed open carry, I found it very rare to see an openly carried gun. I'll also point out that I spent at least two nights a week at some sort of action pistol match. Even frequenting eating joints with shooters after matches, open carry was very rare.
