Az is an OK to open carry in full view state. Years ago when I lived on the southside of Tucson which is infected with Hispanic gangs I used to keep a colt 380 auto handy. After I moved on up to the east side so to speak and got married the handgun became passe.
A Harley rider was killed by an idiot case enraged driver last week here in Tucson. The guy was caught and charged with murder (he had a large rap sheet) He chased the Harley and forced an accident by striking the rear of the Harley and the rider ended up dead under another car.
I kinda doubt that a weapon in the hands of the rider would have dissuaded the numbnuts "rage" case. But I have to admit that if I could foresee myself in that scenario I'd have to ask if a handgun leveled at the driver would have delivered him to his senses. Hard to tell.
I have no problems with anyone packing iron as long as they keep their cool. I think a fine line exists between a real threat and just some BS at times
