I must side with Chas on this. One for the same reasons he stated as far is raising the number of buisnesses that will prohbit firearms. No one really raises much cane because we carry concealed, out of sight , out of mind. IF open carry were to pass a lot more folks would raise cane and subsequently more businesses would bow to the pressure.
Secondly, in my opinion a guy walking down the street intending to do harm might just try to rob someone if they do not see a weapon and take the chances on the victim being a CHL Holder. IF he sees a weapon there is the chance he may take the shoot now and take away the threat approach to the robbery. Granted he might decide not to attack, but I really feel if you open carry then you have in effect played your ace already and you lose the element of surprise.
I know many will not agree, but that is what is so neat about our country, you can disagree and I wont shoot you for it!
