Why? Because it will create a "wild west scenario" and because poiticians admit to voting for the bill without reading it.

We were told?!? Surely, Senator Horhn, you aren't admitting to the press that you voted for a bill that you never read?!? Really?
Well... let's see, there are currently 27 or 28 states that allow open carry with no license required, and 13 or so states that allow open carry with a license. Of course, all those states are "wild west" scenarios with people shootin' each other up and blood running in the streets! Oh...wait. No, it doesn't happen in reality, but every state where open carry comes up they claim the same thing: "Our state will be different than all the others! Our LEO will be in danger, and there will be blood in the streets! Our state will be the first that it will happen in, you just watch!"

Horhn, who voted for the bill, said he and many of his colleagues were misled as to the bill’s intent.
“We were told that this bill was a concealed carry clean-up legislation,” he said. “There was very little discussion that this would create open carry.
“We don’t believe that the constitution provides for open carry,” Horhn added.
