“law that would somehow forget to include open carry in their definition of “permitless” carry.”
Yes it should be legal but l find it a bit disruptive and provocative. Except in a few locations people tend to freak out when you stroll into a public place with a gun visible at your side. It always struck me as a bit vulgar. Discretion is often better.

But the current objection to the proposed Florida law is really about getting true "Constitutional Carry" enacted. The choice of whether to carry concealed or openly should be left to the individual's discretion, based on his own situation.
But if this is the best we can get this session, so be it.
Based on the current state of play, we should reasonably expect to get some version of constitutional carry in NE, LA, FLA,SC and NC, and continue to push to "fix" ND to include out of state residents.
A long road, but this is one of the big wins for the RKBA, and it's important to recognize success when we see it.
Open carry is already legal in Nebraska.
Anyone insisting (not saying you do!) that I conceal what I carry must take up the onus of paying the cost of an adequate, concealable firearm— adequate, that is, by my definition.
There may not be one at all, or it just might be beyond my budget.
