The court's 6-3 conservative majority has expanded gun rights but has also shown a reluctance in recent months to take up new cases on the scope of the right to bear arms.
It was common during those times to open carry however. It’s just that concealed carry is much, much more common now. Quite a bit of that has to do with people’s attitudes toward arms. It’s much easier to not upset people if they don’t know you are carrying.
And I can tell you from personal experience, even if you are printing, vanishingly few people notice. When I quit my last job, told my manager I had carried every day for the last years. He had never noticed.

Oh yeah, I know. I know it’s not a common take, but I am pro open carry, but anti concealed carry. I feel safer when I know who is and isn’t armed.
