Indeed, they have.



Well, I don't see any need to ID or question people carrying pistols unless it doesn't look right. My point is, I'm fine erring on the side of caution when it comes to questioning people walking around open carrying firearms. As long as it is a simply questioning and quick ID, I'm fine with it. It's when it gets to be long drawn out questioning, or questioning people in situations where open carry is openly accepted.

I'm still curious about this distinction of open carry vs. concealed in terms of one being seen as a threat and the other not. Is it because you just don't see pistols as threatening behavior but you see carrying rifles as threatening behavior and cause for suspicion?

Do you think people with open-carry pistols should be questioned?

In this day and age, no one open carrying a pistol in public "looks right"
