While obviously the vast majority of even semi-seasoned open carriers are intimately familiar with the laws and precautions, and have some actual experience doing so,are you sure that you are going to be able to educate Joe Gunowner sufficiently in such a short time ? And whenJoe does get arrested for a violation of one thing or another, who will he, LE and the media want to point fingers at?...This would be a day we would promote to all gun owners / open carriers to open carry their sidearm that day while simply going about their normal business....
