As for open carry, I don't see any reason to ban it.
Sorry, have to add another thought to this. I just see which corporations sponsor groups like the NRA, and I wonder how much this OC/CC trend has to do with personal safety, and how much this has to do with raising the stock prices of sponsors. Gun sales were down, and a good way to get them up is to convince Joe Blow of his inevitable untimely demise.

Another thought is the quantity of guns. The more guns that are purchased and manufactured, the more will be stolen and end up on the streets. In trying to cure a "problem", that is actually a caricature of reality with its blown up stats and plethora of anecdotal evidence, people are actually making the problem worse.
