De facto open carry should always be a part of concealed carry to avoid accidental criminal exposure.
The anti-gun Attorney General here in Arkansas has already pontificated that this law doesn’t give folks the right to open carry; however, as already mentioned, this law is pretty clear to me that it does just that. And, even though the Republican sponsor disagrees, I think it also eliminates the need for a concealed carry license.
I am curious to see how the courts respond.

I don't disagree with a word of that, cripplecreek, but believe carry—openly or concealed—ought to be regarded as legal under both the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment and each state's similar guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms.
To be realistic, I've got a hunch all that's going to have to wait until after the free states have seceeded from the self-styled "progressive" oligarchy and reasserted our original Constitution.
