The BK manager is very pro-gun and pro-open carry.
My friend and I were carrying condition one 45s in open top holsters on our strong side. I usually carry a double mag pouch and flashlight on my weak hand side. We ordered our meal and sat near the back, right next to the Play Center as that was one of the few tables available. Seperated from us was the glass wall that divides the main dining area with the dining area in the Play Room. A couple with their kids was dining next to us but inside. She kept giving curious glances but did not seem bothered. By his glances at us, he seemed mildly annoyed and/or disgusted. We were dressed neat and typical for the season and for Taos's local culture. After awhile, they left. She smiled as I made polite eye contact as they had to exit by our table. He grabbed his kid and briskly walked out. When out the door, he looked back at us with a mildy annoyed look. The other BK patrons were unaware or did not seem to care about OC.
This kind of represents my experience with OC attitudes by men and women. The women who have asked me seemed genuinely curious about open carry and are willing to engage in a polite conversation with an armed stranger. The men, not all though, seemed to be a bit more threatened or at least taken aback, especially the local hispanics who represent 60 percent of the population.
Shortly after we finished our meal, we walked up front and said good bye to the manager and left.
