The reason given against open carry is that with it, criminals know whom to go after first when committing a crime. With concealed carry, they never know from where or even "if" to expect trouble. Therefore, concealed carry is arguably safer for the persons packing, and acts as a greater deterrent.
By the way, we now have close to a million CHL holders in this Great State. Many of us routinely tote an insurance policy everywhere we can. And we have some of the best Deadly Force laws in the U.S.
Hopefully, all of this combines to help convince more and more criminals to head for easier pickin's like the ever blue Northeast, Illinois, or the Left Coast.

When they get around to passing Open Carry where you can tuck a Chief’s Special in your waistband with only the grips showing then I’ll consider we have won the fight.
No sweating about whether or not it’s “printing” or not just tuck it in the holster and go about your business.

I hear that all of the time, yet see no stories about OCers being attacked.
Please show me all of these stories.
