I think open carry should be legal in every state. But, unless you're hunting or plinking, I don't think carrying openly is a smart thing to do.

Virginia was constitutional carry for open carry for a long time. There were simply now laws at the state level. A few localities banned it until state level preemption was passed. That was was repealed and Viginia is now a patchwork of gun control.
He was cited,
Open carry of handguns was made legal in Texas several years ago. The only thing I saw happen was new legal signage available for companies to specifically prohibit open carry on or in their premises.
I still can't remember seeing anyone open carrying anything around here since the law was passed. Seems like it's mostly a talking point, not something that people actually do in the non-rural areas.
Wisconsin has had an Open Carry law like forever. Outside of Hiking or Hunting I think I have seen maybe four people open carrying in the last 10 years. All except one was carrying obviously for attention.
I believe there is specific language that must be used and posted in a specified manner.If you are carrying openly, you can't ignore a "No Firearms" sign. Now there are more of those signs than before.

I don't think "No Firearms" written on a sheet of cardboard meets the requirements.
Strawman. Yes the law is specific, but I have never seen a compliant sign. There isn't even an international standard symbol for a gun.I believe there is specific language that must be used and posted in a specified manner.

If I was carrying concealed I would not ignore a "No Firearms" sign.If you are carrying openly, you can't ignore a "No Firearms" sign. Now there are more of those signs than before.
Who would publicly admit otherwise?If I was carrying concealed I would not ignore a "No Firearms" sign.
I do. Unlike in your state, gun buster signs have no force of law in my state. Unless it's a jailable criminal offense or can lead to my permit being revoked, I ignore the signs.If I was carrying concealed I would not ignore a "No Firearms" sign.
