Since both are means of bearing arms, both decisions would be wrong.

It's laughable to consider that our Founders would protect us from government interference if we wear a pistol holstered at our hip, but would deny such protection because we put a raincoat over it when it rains.

Not who, robby -- the question is, ~what~ is right.. --

The Constitution is right. Our 'right to bear arms' is not qualified.

It can be 'reasonably regulated', - but not infringed, - by State laws drafted to conform to the Constitution/BOR's.
-- Total prohibitions on either open or concealed carry would clearly infringe on the "right to bear"..

Reasonable men could agree that open carry would be inappropriate at times, [no need to scare societies girlie types] but I can see little logic in claiming that concealed carry would be inappropriate most anytime.
