I imagine complete open carry will probably go over better with the general public than partial open carry.

The sheeple will see a handgun being carried fully open and be concerned about it, but figure the person wouldn't be carrying that way if it wasn't illegal. But they may see a partially hiden handgun and might think to themselves that the guy is trying to hide it... so maybe he / she shouldn't have one... or why else would they be trying to hide it?

I will never open carry. Why give up a tactical advantage? I wanted open carry to pass to cover my a-- if my weapon became exposed accidentally.

One things i see is the ability to carry a bigger weapon. So is it more tactical to have a smaller concealed or a bigger open carried? When I get my permit I'll probably carry but only under a jacket or something. Don't know what I'll do in the summer.

+1 agree that this will be a common perception.

Will depend on the circumstances and attire. One of the restaurants I go to when I visit the city has a regular group of plain clothes police that go there for lunch. If I walk in there wearing slacks and a nice sports jacket I am willing to bet that the regular customers will think that I am just another cop. If I open carry in the same restaurant wearing my biker garb I will probably receive a bit of attention from them.

Hadn't thought about open carry on Nov first as a freedom walk though.

Which is exactly why I'll be OCing when I check my mail that day with my Tackleberry strapped on.
