If I understand the OP was not saying you shouldn't own a gun---just thought "open carry" was a bad idea. I own a gun, three of them, but I keep them in my possession but not outside in my yard or at the golf course or park waving them around. Such is a real slippery slope.
I usually carry my rifle in a gun slip when moving it from the house to the car and back. I also always treat if as if it were loaded even when I am fairly certain it is empty.

If I saw a guy with a rifle acting strange here in the Villages, I would call 911.
