With all the talk of "scary" long gun open carry and "scary" open carriers like Bobby Seale, it seems the best makeover, if you will, for open carriers would be more women open carrying pretty guns.

Additionally, if men choose to open carry a long gun, a nice looking rifle with engraved wooden stocks might go over better than those "intimidating" black guns with rails.
I'm all for open carry of all sorts, but it occurs to me that what freaks people out is the foreign nature of guns. A pink gun, a jewel encrusted gun, or even a nice gun with wooden engravings somehow makes it more approachable, more every day normal.
