I do not believe govt. has the right to tell me what where or in which manner I can or should carry.

that being said, I believe concealed carry is the way to go. In my opinion (and we all know opinions are like) open carry in some cases could tend to provoke ‘arguments’ amongst dimwits.

I also favor concealed for a couple reasons. While I agree that we should be able to open carry in principle, there are more benefits to concealed carry. Concealed carry, by nature of it being concealed, has a greater effect on crime deterrence because once it is known to be in effect, the criminals don’t know who is armed, so that can act to protect the unarmed. The other reason is the one about dimwits you mention.
