I don't remember saying "citizens carrying weapons, not ok." I remember saying seeing people practicing open carry in certain situations give me pause.
For the most part I trust people, whether they're carrying a gun or not. Though I would be more watchful of a person openly carrying a firearm. But thats simply due to the fact that I know they have the potential to reach out and hurt me and those around me. If I saw something in their behavior that caused me concern I'd leave.

I brought up the alcohol/bar scenario as an example of a situation where I would be concerned enough to remove myself if I saw firearms being openly carried. Again I just don't think they mix well.
In Wal-Mart or Mickey "D's"? In downtown Phoenix, probably not. In downtown Chicago or New York City, yes.
