I think that a group of citizens carrying openly is a hell of a lot more likely to deter an armed robber than the possiblity that some are carrying concealed weapons. I think this will have quite a positive effect on the crime rate, and when people realize just how many around them carry responsibly, it will improve the image of responsible gun owners and dispel some myths about gun onwerhsip.
With that said, I think it's normal for people to feel uncomfortable until they get accustomed to it.
