One core principle of open carry is the desensitization of the public through positive encounters.

Those security officers have opinions, and if they are against us, those opinions can be changed over time through our actions. Those security officers also have meetings and communications with bosses and owners. Having nothing negative to say, and only positive reports documented can change minds and then policies over time.

So true. This should be posted in every thread where anyone discusses what an establishment's policy "may" be. If people OC and are told to leave, THEN a different response is demanded of us. Until that time, we should carry as we would anywhere else. If we always disarmed because of what we thought a property owner's position could be, where would we OC? My position is that we OC until told not to personally by those vested with the authority to do so.
