Open Carry

Gun owners, apparently tired of concealing their weapons, have taken up a new trend, the open carry. No longer will they hide their weapons as though they are ashamed of them. In a reversion to the wild west days, guns are being displayed for all the world to see. Does this practice really make you feel more secure and deter criminals? Perhaps. I haven't seen any statistics and don't really know. What I do know is that the next time you see someone proudly displaying a sidearm at your local Starbucks, don't be surprised - you heard it here first.
