I go back and forth a bit.
IMO, in a perfect world, open carry would be the accepted norm and available to all sane, adult, non-felons. With open carry, the people who deal with the gun carrier KNOW he's armed and can take his actions and demeanor into consideration in their dealing with him.
But concealed carry, because it denies others the information about whether or not a person is armed that they could use to adjust their dealings with him, should demand a higher standard of training and preparation because it comes with a higher set of responsibilities.
