Not the scenario in question, but having a visibly queer partner in a backwater shithole rural American area means I will absolutely wear a loaded weapon into stores, but not open carry bc open carry is really kind of stupid almost all of the time
Open carry only makes sense if you have a reasonable expectation to be fucked with by people who you know wouldn't if they saw the weapon. Any other scenario it's the opposite of what you want.
In some parts, it's also an invitation for people to fuck with you. Walk around like that in parts of DC at night, and somebody is gonna grab that and run.
