It was VERY weird at first. I moved from suburban white Massachusetts (11/12/13) where id literally never seen a pistol before (one guy in my high school hunted duck and had a shotgun) but literally noone owned guns where i lived. I moved down here to VA and theres dudes with 3ft long 6 shooters hangin off their hips and ARs in their back windows everywhere. It was cool af to see and let you know who not to fuck with. Open carry (with the option to conceal) is where its at.
same experience moving to arizona. I was in CVS and there was a guy in front of me in line with an old fashioned wheel gun on his hip. but later I was driving around seeing guys on atvs with mini ak's strapped up without blinking

You can open carry where Im at but its not super common to see at least in my city. Its usually older guys with their big iron. That doesnt mean that almost everyone doesnt have a concealed carry. If you head east you will find some real good old boys carrying in the open. Almost everyone is a gun owner of some sort here. When the riots were going on it was all quiet here. Nobody was going to let people burn down or loot our community. While the big cities were getting destroyed nightly and some still are.
I’ve lived in Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Two places with pretty 2A friendly Gun laws (PA not as much as it used to be, but compared to the rest of the Northeast along with Vermont and New Hampshire, it’s practically a gun safe haven) I’d be more in shock to go somewhere these days where people don’t carry a gun in public. The last time I’ve left the southern part of the country (anywhere outside of Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky or the Carolinas) was a couple weeks back, to Ohio, which allows open carry of handguns, I can’t imagine what it’s like in NY, NJ, CT, MA or RI, where the government just expects you to let the criminal shoot you with an illegal gun and bleed out.
