I’m with you 100%. It defies logic why anyone would carry openly. In Texas, open carry begins on January 1. I’ll be interested to see how many actually do it.
The question isn't about tactics, it is about rights and pushing back laws that dictate those rights. Having the right to make the decision itself is the issue, not which has a better tactical application.

Not me. I don’t want to be the first guy shot at the local Stop ‘N’ Rob when my wife gets a hankering for ice cream at midnight. To me the ONLY utility of that law is to prevent me getting a misdemeanor for unintentionally showing my carry piece. YMMV, etc., but you and I clearly agree.
