Why open carry a handgun when you can conceal it legally. Why would anyone want to open carry a handgun, never let the enemy know what you have, you want to blend in and avoid problems, open carry negates that advantage and open carry negates the advantage of surprise.
I agree completely, my 'maybe too subtle' point was that there's no right answer, there's risks and complications all around.
