They’re not refusing concealed carry, just open carry. The only reason why I like open carry laws is because I can’t be cited if my concealed weapon prints or is momentarily revealed when I reach on a high shelf in the store.
Rural open carry is also probably fine where everybody knows you, but to open carry in Houston or Dallas, I wouldn’t.
If you do open carry, use a good holster with positive retention. My open carry holster is a Safariland holster with Automatic Locking System (ALS.)

Some of the time Florida CCW holders were not cited for that. But, some were. So, Florida has an open carry bill in the works to end that dilemma for CCW inadvertent revealing.
