I used to open carry my stainless ROA in Miami when boating or night fishing. Got bothered by the marine patrol, but the law is they're not pistols and I got away with warnings that I was looking for trouble, and I always replied that I was aiming to end trouble. This was in the mid 80's and I was stationed at Homestead AFB. Went night fishing with some buddies one evening and some thugs were harassing all the fishermen til they got to me and I pulled back my jacket to show my cowboy rig, they ran and several fishermen started clapping, that was the 1st time I wore it, didn't leave home without it after that.
