I live in Texas,we open carry and concealed carry.I think the obvious number of people with guns prevents crime.Carry openly,be cordial.

According to these statistics, Texas is only average: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/crime-rate-by-state Surprisingly, Alaska is open carry, but has some of the worst stats.
I live near a town of 15,000 or so.No armed robberies,rare murder or rape,zero home invasions etc.Shop lifting is rare.Probable a third carry.Open carry is rare.I think open carry advertises the risk to thieves.We have a lot of sneak thieves.They never risk confronting a citizen.So we know they are there.Very seldom does any altercation involve a firearm.
