I still lean towards OC, with license. That's not apt to stop most criminals from trying to carry, but the vast majority of them are already well known to leo's and they would have to be really stupid to attempt that charade. They will continue to slink around with their "fotay" stuck down their underwear shining above their sag pants, or under their hoodie in 100 degree weather. There could possibly be more random checks for license, and most likely an adverse reaction from a lot of business owners. That's one issue that should be carefully investigated....how would owners of restruants, shops, entertainment establishments, etc., react to an open display of legally carried firearms?

Even though I still want the comfort of taking off a cover garment while sitting down in a restruant, or particularly be able to open carry while "in the field" doing my normal line of work, I would not make it a regular practice.

In "mr surveyor's perfect world", ALL of the good guys would ba allowed to open carry all the firepower they were man (or woman) enough to handle, and the bad guys would be put away for life for ANY criminal event involving a firearm or other weapon related violence. But, it just ain't that perfect world. So, even though I did vote "yes" to OC/with license, I still have some serious reservations about the unforeseen consequences.
