I think open carry is anomaly because no one does it. A case of "use it or lose it". It may not be a de jure (legal) loss but it becomes a defacto loss due to public opinion. My state is open carry and I have no qualms about carrying open. But I also don't want to give up the element of surprise. As long as concealed carry is easy and respected, I will choose to utilize that option.
