Everything is basically already allowed, except open carry for handguns. Without a license, you can keep a pistol or revolver in your car. If every traffic accident were going to be a shoot out, it would already have happened.

It is funny, if I saw someone open carry right now, I would probably assume they were an off duty cop. I wouldn't freak out. I think it will freak out the police more than regular people.

If a bunch of people do start to open carry, I expect the result will be more places posting no firearms. Which is fine with me, since I these places are also saying they do not want my business.
