You stated: "I live in NM. I have rarely seen anyone open carry. Unfortunately, the ones I have seen, are the ones you don't want open carrying"

On what do you base your criteria for that judgement?

Perhaps others would look at you and have their doubts about you based on your appearance or mine or anyone's.

Many folks immediately base their judgement on character because someone's wearing a suit, tie and his shoes are polished. Darned yuppee scum. Corporate dweeb. Money grubbing hack who probably hasn't worked a day in his life of ease. Not appreciating this guy was raised on a ranch and broke horses for side money and built fence.

Or, he's tatted up and dressed like a gang banging thug, then you see the back of his jacket and it says something along the lines of Brothers In Christ and he's passing flyers to attend his Methodist/Lutheran/Presbyterian, Church of the Immaculate Conception/ or Synagogue.

What's that's old cliche?

You can't tell a book by it's cover.

And the other one: Who are you to judge, or me or anyone?

I OC'd all last week through Montana, Wyoming, and Rocky Mountain NP just to get a feel for OC exposure. As far as I could tell/see, I was the only OC within eyesight anywhere. I suspect that after opening weekend in Texas and the new wears off, OC's in Texas will be as scarce as hen's teeth. We'll see, eh?
