I have never had an issue with people openly carrying their handguns and nobody has ever had and issue with me.
I think the whole thing is nothing more than a political stunt to fuel the flames of those who want to slowly strip away the rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.

It used to be that if someone "open carried", everyone knew he was armed, and thought no more about it. If someone carried a concealed weapon, then the assumption was to think that he was up to no good -- that he wanted to sneak up on a victim and surprise them.
Now, "open carry" is considered an implicit threat, while concealed weapons are "polite". Concealed carry is considered being non-threatening, and "open carry" is at best the behavior of a show-off, at worst, a bully.
Times change.

1SG Cj Grisham - I have to admit that in spite of being very used to being among the armed, both in 29 years of the Military, and with a bunch of LEOs in the family, I was taken aback (momentarily) when I saw a guy on the street in Newark, NJ with a gun in a kidney holster. The streets of Newark is not where you expect to see a legal sidearm.
The suit jacket he had slung over his shoulder then swung a bit to reveal a set of handcuffs in the small of his back, indicating "LEO plainclothes". The chances of running into a "civilian" with a CCW in New Jersey is as likely as holding a winning lottery ticket, while simultaneously being attacked by a shark and struck by lightning

MAJ Byron Oyler - A lot depends on the area. Steer clear of Newark, Camden, and Asbury Park, all high crime areas.
