If a state has in their constitution that a person is allowed to open carry there is no legal way to enforce otherwise except in public buildings such as a courthouse, school or other state admin buildings. This means if you are legal to own a gun and carry it on your person in plain view of others you are abiding by the laws set forth by your state and if you are arrested under the reasoning that carrying that weapon is illegal in some manner you are under false arrest and there is recourse for this.
I'm going by what some cops told me over beers. Here, they will charge you with disorderly conduct or more if the cops think you're a dick. The charges usually get dropped if the "offender" shows up in court, but they said they would rather hassle the general public out of doing it. Do I agree with this type of policing? Hell no. My point is that this would have happened if Obama was there or not.
