Open carry makes you a magnet to other charges that somehow wouldn't be bothered with if you were Joe Nongun. Jay walking while open carrying? Book 'em, Dano.

Self defense starts first with how you walk and second with what you say.
Third should probably be how fast you can run... and drawing your pistol should be near ninety-nine or so.
