I agree with that. In the real “Old West”, open carry was never restricted (unless there was a range war active, and then they just required that you checked your weapons as you entered town). But concealing a weapon was illegal.
Odd that “open carry” seems so much worse today to the minds of most people.

I believe that in the "Old West", carrying a concealed weapon was considered dishonourable: the province of cheats, swindlers, and whores. Decent folk carried their weapons openly.
