I won a very nice 1911 Colt Long Slide, .38 super in Montana, had to sell it because I couldn't take it with me to Canada. Montana is the only place I have been where you don't have to be a cop or have a permit to open carry, I don't think its a bad thing, in Montana! In NY it could be problematic, Alaska I believe, please correct me if I am wrong, has the same laws as Montana.
Having carried a handgun a lot, I don't feel it should be anything but an extra burden to the person carrying. I never had an issue with it, but I know many that didn't like it, made it hard for them to do their jobs, imagine a carpenter that hated hammers.
