"An armed society is a polite one," right? These aren't trigger-happy weirdos running around waiting for a chance to fire off a few rounds, they're just people that like a little security on their belt. Statistics show that areas that disallow open carry have higher crime. I mean really, who are you going to rob: the guy with the .45 on his waist or the guy that doesn't? Easy answer. This is a good thing that will (and does!) make criminals think twice before they try something.
