Honestly I don't know how many people would take advantage of open carry at all. There seems to be a lot of fear, but how many of you who live in an open carry state regularly see random people walking around with a gun on their side?

I'm betting very few.
You've never been to Arizona.

The problem with mandatory conceal carry is that in places like Washington State, you can lose your CCW if your jacket blows open and someone see's your handgun... and calls the police.

What is it about handguns that is evil, wrong or otherwise something that should be hidden away by law?

Most states that allow open carry (like my own) don't have many folk carrying that way... humm, why is that? Let's not mandate that someone must conceal their Constitutional rights, we should let them decide for themselves what is best for them. Most will opt to conceal, but for those who don't... what's your beef? Are you threatened by the presence of a handgun? Is the concept of "out of sight out of mind" comforting to you?

It's silly to me.
