Both posts are limiting the viewpoint.
In most situations, open carry is dumb. Open carriers would probably be the first targets. For farm/rural settings, it makes more sense.
Make it legal, and let it take its course.
Your statement assumes little to no adoption of open carry after it’s allowed. I presume that it would become fairly commonplace. Open carriers would not in that case be the first targets of violence, they’d be the least likely.
