I agree with him, partially.

I think that people should be allowed to carry their guns in plain sight. That way, there will be no doubt that individuals are prepared to defend themselves, and that criminals prey upon them at their own risk.

Logical but impractical. When the robbery goes down, the security guards are neutralized first because their weapons are exposed. The people behind the counter are second in line because the probability of a weapon behind the counter is high. A citizen carrying a concealed weapon is a wild card, an ace-in-the-hole. Having the weapon in plain site simply elevates the individual to security guard status before the program begins. There is no longer a mental deterrent to the criminal committing the crime or disadvantage to the criminal while the crime is being committed.
