Pretty much me but in a Jeep without doors and top and no mustache.
"( A LOT of Taurus, of which even I am not a fan),"
Everyone has an opinion. May I ask on what you have based your opinion of Taurus?
I carry a Taurus G2C. It's not presented ANY problems, works 100% with any/all ammo I've tried, and is easier to shoot well than a similar sized GLOCK. The 'cap gun' trigger may put some folks off but at least it's repeatable and smooth. It does take a bit of getting used to since there's no 'trigger break' but this isn't a target pistol.

Very few folks open carry in this area. Near by Ann Arbor still thinks it's a commune. Firearms simply upset people around here. I prefer not to upset people. It's not an imposition to me to conceal my firearm. 99.9% probability I will never expose it or use it. I'm more comfortable with it concealed.

Stop, just STOP. Do you know why I'm suggesting that? Because what you're saying makes SENSE. You will never persuade an open carry advocate that there are ANY reasons why it's a dumbass idea, let alone so many solid, logical reasons against it. Don't waste your breath. Just see them in the wild, and know that bad guys will cap them right away (probably with their own gun, snatched from their genuine gun-show Cordura nylon holster sagging off their belt.), giving you time to engage from concealment and survive. Consider open carriers the cathodic rods of civilized society...

That's exactly right, you live in a free state, you are free to do as you please. Tennessee is a similar state, in general fairly free. Free to consider people as dumbasses for engaging in dumbass practices. Let us raise a glass to living in freedom!
Not sure about all that... none of us are truly 'free' ... I think we would all agree there are rules we need to live by and it's just that some of them we don't like. My wife is always getting on me when I start to complain about government regulations and such....
She likes to point out how I expect my meat... beef.... to be safe and not make me sick. We like the clean water that comes out of our tap.... and I have to say the local fire department and ambulance service has been a God Send in the last 5 years.....

Freedom is a very interesting concept for sure. Regardless of how rudimentary a society is, there are and have been rules. In Michigan it is necessary to pass a CPL class and apply for a permit which is "shall issue". The class was crafted by the USCCA and I found it very helpful per interpreting legalese. Application fee is $100.00 for five years which is going to McDonalds once a year. I really don't have a problem with any of that.

Guns. I has it.
There are government regulations which exist because the people want that regulation: safe water, safe food, clean air, or just society's laws in general.
And then there are regulations that exist because the government wants to stifle the will of the people, wants to preserve its control, or promote an agenda.
Such as pushing "green energy" by killing the use of our natural resources which is the cleanest and most efficient form of our industrial production, wealth, and prosperity. Government gives subsidies (your money) to a company like Ford that loses $130,000 on each EV it sold; if the concept were viable, it would be profitable on its own. Also government trying to prohibit natural gas use in new homes and adding extra tax to it in existing homes. The list is long.
Government allowing millions of illegals into the country, unvetted, flying them to cities everywhere, you get to pay for it in many ways.
As Ronaldus Magnus said, "Government isn't the solution the problem, government is the problem."
So FO.

Don't Tread ON Me. The strike is fast and deadly. The ART of CONCEALMENT.

From the late fall to early spring we get a serious influx of "snowbirds", many of them from back east When I go to the store I see these people who are unused to firearms literally recoil in horror at the sight of someone open carrying. Guess t must have hurt my local Walmarts business as it is now posted, Concealed firearms are OK but no open carry. We still get a few ne'redowells who open carry but the presence of a couple of sheriff's deputies who work the doors on their days off have just about put stop to it. Also, constitutional carry has helped in that regard as well.

We simply have different experiences. Some friends have shared mine. Recoil problems, I didn't like the trigger pull, my friend had a drop fire, jamming, etc... bits and pieces. Again, just my own experiences. They just started to add up and I just took a pass. Admittedly, I haven't touched one in 4-5 years, so there certainly could have been improvements made since then.

I'm thinking about open carrying while riding an E-bike and filming public buildings and/or private property while I'm on public property. All at the same time. It's something to do and I'm bored.

Be careful of those 'public' buildings it is a federal crime to take pictures of some of them....
Show us the law saying we can't take a picture from a public way of anything we want. For real??
