Having worked alot in gun shops over the last several years in a couple of different states, I hear this discussion alot. MRH has a great point here: that open carry seems most practical when one is on the farm working or out hunting or in other private situations. It is, of course, a matter of preference, but one must always remember it's not just the robber or mugger you are protecting yourself against. Because there are so many mass shootings and terrorist attack possibilities nowadays, it could be alot safer to conceal carry. You are an immediate target to anyone who is going to open fire in a public place if you are open carrying. Just some food for thought; I would rather be uncomfortable than a corpse...
hope this helps!
