Hard to carry a bag of groceries with an AR slung over your shoulder. :mrgreen:

Not a bad point, though. Honestly, I've been meaning to get my CCW for a while now but had never given a thought to open carry. I'm sure I've got the balls to do it, it's just that it is kind of "against the social norm" as you said, so it really hadn't crossed my mind. And, as anyone who's met me can tell you, I'm definitely not a scruffy-looking person; if my hair's short I've been mistaken for military before and I dress well, if casually. So no "hermit gun nut from the hills" impression here.

I may consider this.
