I never saw much point in open carry in public.
Short answer: Deterrent.
The OC guys say they live happier lives never getting mugged in the first place
because the muggers pick a soft target.
The CC guys say they've got the element of surprise when somebody tries to mug
them not knowing they're armed. They also believe that when making contact with
a criminal who decided when and where to jump you, he's the one with the element
of surprise in his favor, you've just got the disadvantage of trying to draw
from inside your clothes while his weapon is already deployed.
There's a good article about 'the open carry debate' on page 9 of this
newsletter. I'm going to meet the guy who wrote it tomorrow night.
