Whether one wants to carry open or concealed is a matter of personal preference or sometimes circumstance.
At the end of the day I like both.
Detroit firearms instructor Rick Ector walks around Detroit openly armed every day and has no problems.
In Virginia, both an open and concealed carry state, incidental exposure or printing are not crimes, as they are in some more regressive states.
I prefer concealed, but people who open carry don’t bother me and don’t seem to bother others around them (except for the new immigrants from MD, NJ, NY, etc.).
