In Tennessee we can carry open or concealed by law. Rarely do I ever see open carry other than in the parking lot of the local gun shop/range.
As we went through stages of laws being passed, anti-gun arguments always had things back in the wild west, gun fights on every street, saloon brawls, etc.
I had not heard of any such. We now have laws allowing guns in parks and restaurants serving alcohol. The doomsayers always paint the most negative picture they can to spread fear.
