...Although I do believe open carry does make criminals think twice before the commit a crime.
Now if we could just get those "average" citizens who call in to think twice, we'd be on to something.

I personally conceal carry for the simple fact that the "average" citizen is to quick to call the police and say "someone has a gun". I understand law enforcement has a job to do but I dont like having to pull over, get out of the car, get searched, and run my numbers. Of course Im totally legal, you are stupid if you do otherwise. Its just a hassle and takes law enforcements valuable time when they could be attending to real crimes. Although I do believe open carry does make criminals think twice before the commit a crime.

Permit for what exactly?!These type of actions, both public and LE have made the truely average sitizen paranoid of his surroundings. Until it is fully accepted, be preparred to be stopped and asked for a license and permit. Don't kill the messagener. Stay safe.
Is open carrying illegal if you have your CC permit?
Is open carrying illegal if you have your CC permit?
There is no CC or OC permit. Everyone who buys a "permit" in this state is issued the "License to Carry a Handgun." There is nothing in the law that mandates how you have to carry your gun. So if you have your "permit" then you can carry it OC or CC. The only illegal way of carrying a handgun is by not possessing the LTCH. If you've got that, you're good to go no matter how you decide to carry.
