This is a common belief, but I've never seen any verifiable, credible evidence to support it.
It’s like driving, if you follow every traffic law, setting the example for others, they in turn obey all of them as well.
Try going the speed limit next time you are on the interstate and you can see first hand the results.
Ok that was a poor example.
I do find it interesting that the OP’s decision to open carry is based on perceptions of the general public. My perception when I see someone at the store openly carrying, is that person is tactically at a disadvantage when compared to me.
Not unlike the person yelling out “I have a gun”, when someone breaks into their home. One hopes the tactic provides positive results because of it does not, you now gave away your location and escalated the perceived threat facing the intruder.
