My wife open carried for first time today!
My wife and I took the dog for a long walk though our neighborhood this morning. She started off with a sweatshirt over her OWB holster/revolver, but it got hot, and it came off, leaving the holster very obvious open carry.
On the way back we stopped an talked to several new neighbors. I even noticed one elderly gent take notice of it. Not a word or question from anyone, nor any police at the door when we got home! Pretty cool! (my gun was concealed, as usual.)

Good for you and your wife. I would get stars here since some of my neighbors are from NJ

Another indication of how much of a non-issue it can be, if people simply think and act rationally.
 Kudos to both of you!

Great story!
Tennessee is a very open carry friendly and generally a very gun friendly state. It is a great state to live in!
