Actually, it would be very interesting to start a mass movement of gun owners not only doing open carry but also just empty holsters to seriously ratchet up the ambience.
As we all know, what we want to do to the bad guys is introduce uncertainty about whether they can get away with anything anywhere.
Empty holsters increase the uncertainty quotient even if not as much as an open carry.
But I'm wondering the more I think about it if they actually may increase the uncertainty quotient more than concealed carry!?

Awesome story! Thought about walking around with an empty holster just to see who reacts.
