Probably, and everyone knows everyone else. When I taught in Clarks, NE, a small village of 486 people, at the time, everyone knew everyone else. And, we knew immediately when a stranger came into town. We also knew most everyone's out of town relatives who came to visit now and then. So, when someone carried openly everyone knew him or her and didn't pay any attention. But, if an unknown person came into town carrying a weapon word got around very quickly. As the deputy marshal I got calls when unknowns came into town carrying. Even during pheasant season. I never stopped anyone but I kept an eye on them. On one occasion I got a call and went to Merrimman's bar to see who he was. He looked weird. He was wearing shabby clothing that didn't fit too well. Standing at the bar he was knocking down a pepsi in jerks. Very poor motor skills, as if he was on something or coming off of something. He had a vacant, thousand yard stare in his eyes. I noticed the right pocket of the jacket he was wearing was weighed down as if something very heavy was in it. Concealed firearm, I thought to myself? I asked for some ID. He ignored me. I asked again and he turned to face me and started walking toward me. I pulled my 9mm Espana and ordered him to halt. He turned around and began walking toward the door. I shouted "Halt!". When he put his hand into the pocket that was weighed down I pointed my pistol at him and pulled the hammer back on it. It was LOUD click, almost as loud as my knocking knees. Everyone dove under tables and chairs, or jumped behind the bar. He froze. After that he was compliant. I took him outside and handcuffed him. After a few moments on the radio I leaned that he matched the description of a man who had escaped from the mental institution at Hasting the night previous. He was there because he murdered someone but had been ruled insane.
