Our state constitution does not permit open carry, it recognizes it as a right. OC is lawful because there are no laws prohibiting it.
You are right that we are shall issue, but you are issued a license for concealed carry not a permit. Also, you may carry concealed without a concealed pistol license if going to, engaged in, or returning from an outdoor activity like fishing or hiking.
