Concealed carry simply gives a predator a false sense of security when they attack you on the street. If you open carry you are much less likely to be attacked in the first place.
Further, when you open carry, the people around you are much less likely to be attacked since everyone can see that there is a citizen with a gun nearby.

Yes, it would have a tendency of turning folks into (somewhat) polite ladies and gentlemen.
You nailed it with that post.
Many reasons to OC and few not to.
