I voted it depends. I am a WI resident who has a MN non resident permit to carry. I cannot legally carry concealed in WI, I cannot legally carry a loaded and uncased firearm in my vehicle in WI so when I choose to carry here I need to do it openly and walk and or go through the unload/reload everytime I get in the car or on the bike. When in the Twin Cities area I can carry open or concealed and usually conceal (sometimes just barely with a t-shirt) because I am usually in Minneapolis hitting a coffee shop to visit with friends who share my other passion of sport bikes or on a book buying run at Uncle Hugos or Once Upon a Crime. On the whole I prefer concealing because it requires fewer interactions with morons with or without badges, that said I see no reason that those who like or at least better tolerate morons shouldn't be able to open carry. There are a few guys on TwinCitiesCarry.com that open carry fairly regular. They say the vast majority of folk don't notice.
One other thing someone said MN has issued 10,000 permits it's actually around 52,000 so far.

1911s and V-twin sport bikes make me happy.
