Although as a gun owner and in agreement with open carry, unless in a dangerous area, which I try to avoid, it is not my practice to tote heat when out and about.
However to me "arms" does not necessarily betoken just guns. I can only imagine what kind of reaction one could expect if he or she strolled through a grocery store, into a popular bar, or a seasonal festival wearing a rapier, small word, long sword, fighting ax or something like a Khyber knife?
I recall a time in a grocery store when we were picking up supplies for camping. I had a 15" blade Khyber knife sheathed on my belt and although there were two other fellows openly wearing pistols, a store manager pointed to the big knife then suggested - "Maybe you want to take that back out to your vehicle"
If we can openly carry fire arms then whats the problem if along with a pistol, why would there be so much scrutiny if I carried both a tomahawk and my big knife in say a Walmart or the local 'chain theme bar'?
